Did Dyson really have to do a bunch of research to develop the Air Multiplier?

Best fans in the world! If you have $300 that you absolutely can't find anything better to do with. Apparently though his hand dryer is much better (faster) than normal ones and much more energy efficient. And a billions times the price.

Ridiculously noisy.
Looks cool.
Try and get your hands on a quality fan from the 30s or 40s. You may well find it's quieter and more efficient. Might even look cooler, depending on your taste!
The Dyson vacuum cleaner was the worst I ever had. Unloaded it and bought a Miele for half the price.

In the race of life, always back self-interest. At least you know it's trying.

I've heard the Dyson vacuum really sucks, which normally is a good thing for a vacuum cleaner. However, it still doesn't do such a great job picking up dirt compared to some of its competitors. My brother has one and loves it. I'll stick with the Oreck that I paid a lot less for.

Let's just say when I got divorced I left it will my ex. Attachments were useless.

My brother and his wife are heading for Splitsville as well. I wonder if she'll get the Dyson?

A local high profile restaurant here has Dyson hand dryers. They're actually pretty amazing. Dry your hands in about 2.2 seconds. lol Sounds like a jet engine though while it's running.

I've used the Dyson hand dryers before. I agree they are amazing and work very quickly. I own a Dyson Ball (DC-25) vacuum and it's by far the best vacuum I've ever used (and I've used my share). It's light, works great, is manuverable as can be. If you are in the maket for a vacuum, just spend the money on a Dyson. They really suck (in the good way).

Agreed on the Dyson Ball. We got the larger DC-15 because the 25 wasn't around then. 2005...

      REESO VTX Putter

      By SteelHen ·

      Thanks Bill, Really appreciate the tips! I'm hoping between side saddle putting and working on the Jim Venetos swing I'll drop some shots off my typically mid-90's score.

      How To Properly Repair Ball Marks

      By WillieT ·

      Thinking about seeing if our local course will make divot repair part of the annual youth camp….and I love @dennyjones comment to stick ‘em to the carts.   Sadly a lot of the older guys are not stable enough to bend down and make a good repair - so they just let them be or just do the putter tamp.  We also have one member who shuffles his way on and off the green - soft spike marks everywhere….

      REESO VTX Putter

      By discap ·

      The lie is not really adjustable.  The PGA states that it must have at least 10 deg angle (not sure on the exact #) all of these putters came with the minimum allowable angle from vertical.  This is why the corners are beveled off.  The sole of the club is not intended to sit flat on the ground. Having said all this, the only way to change the angle is to bend the silver piece that the shaft is glued in to. In use: 1. Hold the putter with your top hand and let it dangle 2. the beveled edge will be the closest part to the ground 3. place bottom hand much like holding a pencil 4.  Club should swing forward and back freely but not hit your foot.  If it does then you need to move you top hand outward. 5. Do not manipulate the club path. straight forward and back 6. I keep my top hand tight on the putter.  My bottom hand twists the putter counter clockwise against my top hand.  This keeps the face from opening up. Good luck.  I have been using mine for close to 10 years.  I average 1.7 putts/hole (yes I have statistics on every hole I play) Bill

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 29 (19 Feb 25) - Winter storm in place (here it's cold icy rain), inside day today - started with mirror work and 8i - working on weight shift sequence using shortened swing (backswing to P3) and coming through to P8.  Focused on sensing the shift to the lead foot as I get toward P3 and then coming through smoothly.  Followed up those series of rehearsals with some easy lag putts working to equalize backswing length with downswing finish to 3' - 5' - 8' distances.

      REESO VTX Putter

      By SteelHen ·

      This is a long shot given how old this thread is, but I just picked up a Reeso VTX putter and I'm trying to adjust the lie, but it's not obvious how to do that. Aside from unscrewing the hosel from the putter head everything else looks fused together. Wondering if @PRWELLMAN @Yipper @discap have any info about adjusting the lie. Thanks for the help.
