Glad to know that what was once a player or a golfer is now known as "the athlete" or "an athlete".

RPM has become RPMs :doh:

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

It's good to see Nike starting to really put some R&D; into their drivers.  It will be interesting to see if moving the weight front to back has a real difference for the average "athlete".

i think he said a change of 2 mm gives a change in launch of a degree?  i may have either misheard, or misremembered.

That looks like a different driver, almost like it's missing the bar in the center where the weight goes.

I have not liked the Nike Drivers to this point but this one seems to have some big advantages and might be worth a look.

Supposedly there's the vapor and vapor flex. One has the ability to move the cg forward or back 2mm's to either reduce or increase spin. Interesting.. I'm not a big fan of the color but that's just cosmetics. Curious to see what shaft options they have or if they're going with the usual Kuro Kage

I don't know about the rest of you, but I personally really like lime green. It may be a tad bit excessive on these drivers for some, but I think they're nicer than the Covert's cherry red stuff to me.

      Differential vs Course Handicap

      By xrayvizhen · Posted

      To flog this subject even further, if that's even possible, this article from Golf Monthly just appeared today in one of my news feeds. Written by a golf writer in the UK who I never heard of, he's basically saying that there should be only 3-5 rounds from the most recent 20 that should count towards the average and only competitive rounds should count. He claims the erratic scorers would have less of an advantage than they do now. He makes a lot of references to "club golfers" in the UK being the ones who are mostly dissatisfied. https://share.google/qmZZBEoJvOxHxJGil  In my experience with my league where we have golfers with indexes ranging from 5 to 40, looking at the weekly results from the past two years, I can detect no pattern that would substantiate the claim that the current system gives an unfair advantage to either erratic golfers (aren't we all?) or higher handicappers. Apparently though, at least in the UK, this seems to be "a thing."
