How big of a crock

[Clambake]

Would it be different if it was pressurized?

Well, the nitrogen-filled club would gain weight if it were pressurized, but there wouldn't be any reason to add weight in this manner. But the compressibility of the gas would be essentially unchanged, so there would be no effective difference whatsoever.

If you tee off with one, you should put a "No Smoking" sign in front of you. May be worth the laugh to your buddies.

Hello Mr Buzz Killington. I have your tea and cucumber sandwich ready.

LOL!, umm, thanks!

i thought this was a XXX rated thread comparing everyones manhood till i realized it said crock... yikes... and if its nitrogen filled after 4 hours... you might wanna consult a doctor

[wannabe]

and here I thought this was gonna be about cooking...

thats a big crock you got there!

All I know is that it works!

I was driving about 205-210 with a Cobra L5V 11.5* Regular Shaft.

Now I am driving 230 - 250 with a PowerBilt Air Force One 10.5* regular shaft.....My golf buddies are now getting smoked!

As for the nitrogen charged irons.....I got the hollow nitrogen charged irons, 4-PW....They are at least 5 to 10 yards longer than my Callaway Fusions....and they are more accurate.

Not trying to pi$$ on your cheerios but couldn't the loft be the only reason for that increase.

the driver sound sounds like your hitting the ball with a wooden bat.

and has this been evaluated by the usga? legal?

My day job is an analytical chemistry PhD student, so I think I know a bit about good ol N2. They use it because it's cheap and unreactive... the idea I think is to build pressure to counteract the lack of face integrity (thinner material = greater flexion and much more energy is transfered to ball, whatever). So I don't see how this would work... optimal situation is pressure on the outside = inside. But the ball compresses... bla bla bla... more crap. Nitrogen isn't charging anything... I just don't understand why equalizing pressure means more face integrity. It doesn't make sense from a materials science point of view, or a logical point of view. So it seems like I've wasted racking my brain to tell you something you already know... filling a driver with nitrogen is the same dang thing as just making it normal, either way, it's full of air!

as with most equipment brands, their "new and improved" or just "new technology" usually is nothing and just something to fill our minds with to make us think were hitting some type of new technology.. its the

PLACEBO EFFECT .

Are these Power Built Nitro charged clubs?

I'd put these clubs right up there with "The Hammer" if that tells you anything, lol

[flopdarock]

i won a powerbilt airforce one driver in a contest and its a pretty solid driver...
i currently own 5 drivers and use a nike sasquatch sumo thats in my bag now...
the powerbilt is not longer than any of the drivers i own... the shaft that was fitted on it is really nice...
produces a medium flight that bores thru wind pretty effectively( at least on the day i used it)

You mean it's inert characteristics? Maybe if they make the bladder or club head of magnesium which at high temperatures and pressures(face compression with ball), it will combine with some reactive metals (such as lithium and magnesium) to form nitrides, as well as with some gaseous elements such as hydrogen and oxygen and really give an explosive drive!!

I had a conversation with Fuzzy Z yesterday at the Outback ProAm, where I volunteer every year as a Marshall.

Very pleasant, and I noticed that he was playing PowerBilt Citation irons that were at least two years old.....no nitrogen in his clubs.

Nothing like having a club that might spontaneously combust. If youre a man on the level of Chuck Norris (with manly chest hair and a brillo pad for a beard) then that is the only club for you.

that would be pretty funny although impossible
