It looks as if most of the people posting are lieing because the average male golfer hits 218 yards and most of the people say they hit 250-300.

Well that stupid statistic is wrong, I'm pretty sure I average 280 with my driver. If I only hit my driver 218 I would quit golf. Don't tell us if we are lieing, I think we all know how far we hit our clubs.

There are a few yardage gaps that are really too big. I would like to get the lofts adjusted on my PW and GW, but have yet to do it. I very seldom ever hit a full SW or LW.

I honestly have no real true idea how far I hit any of my clubs. I am more of a feel player. I hit 7 iron from 120 or 170 depends on the shot needed. I am getting on our trackman launch monitor next year to find out all my carry distances for full swings.

I know that but a 16 handicap hitting 300 plus yard come on.

I'm a +4.0 and your gonna call me a fibber... 218 is for the average once a week player who doesn't play much... even though the USGA says a bogey golfer can only hit a 200 yard drive... and a "scratch" can drive 250 yards and reach a 470-yard hole with 2 strokes... Just because I can reach a 570-yard hole with 2 strokes doesn't mean I'm fibbing... and most of the guys in here are at least 12 handicaps or better

I am not calling you a fibber because bieng a +4 handicap you probably averag well over 280, but 12 handicaps 310+, that is almost impossible because to hit such long distances you have to have a good launch monitor stats (launch angel, low spin rate,ect.) an to get good launch moniter stats you must have a great swing.

    • I did read the fine print tonight. It said replace with “similar features & function”.  8 yeas ago my purchase had features that today are available on the lower end models and the current version of my model has more “bells & whistles” than what I got 8 years ago.  So I am thinking they honored the agreement and I can’t argue the offer. since getting a credit for the full purchase price all I am really out over the past 8 years was the cost of the extended warranty, which was less than a low end  treadmill would have cost me. now the question is which model to replace with.  I’ll stay with Nordic Track or I forfeit the $1,463 credit so I will get Nordic Track.  And they honored the warranty and were not hard to work with which is a plus.
    • Generally speaking, extended warranties are a terrible deal and should almost always be avoided. They are a huge profit center for the companies that offer them, which should tell you almost everything you need to know about how much value most consumers get when purchasing them.  This is correct, and the old adage applies - only buy insurance when you can't afford the loss. This usually doesn't apply to most consumer goods.  To your second question, no I don't believe the offer is fair. They are replacing it, but it is not being replaced at "no cost to you". Since the amount being disputed (over $500) is non-trivial, I would probably push the issue. Don't waste your time on the phone with a customer service agent or a supervisor. They have probably given you all they have the authority to do. Rather, I would look at the terms of your agreement and specifically legal disputes. The odds are you probably agreed to binding arbitration in the event of a dispute. The agreement will outline what steps need to be followed, but it will probably look something like this.  1. Mail the Nordic Track legal department outlining your dispute and indicate you are not satisfied with the resolution offered.  2. Open up a case with the AAA (American Arbitration Association), along with the required documentation. 3. Wait about 4-5 weeks for a case to be opened - at which point someone from Nordic Track's legal department will offer to give you the new model at no cost to you.  They certainly don't want to spend the time and energy to fight you over $500. 4. Enjoy your new Nordic Track at no cost to you. I recently entered binding arbitration against a fairly large and well known company that screwed me over and refused to make it right. In my demand letter, I made a pretty sizeable request that included compensation for my time and frustration. Once it hit their legal department, they cut me a check - no questions asked. It was far cheaper to settle with me than to send their legal team to defend them in the arbitration.
    • I never thought of looking at it on multiple purchases like you said.  Yes, the extended may help me on 1 or 2 items but not the other 5 or 6.
    • Day 84 - Forgot to post yesterday, but I did some more chipping/pitching.    Back/neck were feeling better today, so I did a much overdue Stack session.
