Glad to say , you won't be disappointed with the video. Using 45" driver with the head speed I am getting is true to what I originally stated.]

If this is the video you will be honored as the greatest troll in SandTrap history:

Ha ha, Ha, funny for stupid crittens like you,  but ultimately, dicks like you will always question saying the device to measure to the head speed is faulty. But I have other measurements that back up my claims. And the video will speak for itself.

I think you are going a little too far there.  He was making a joke, and even if it was in poor taste no reason to be the first to start calling people names & possibly get banned or blocked from your own thread for not being able to stay civil.

My bad, but the joke is not funny, I am just sick of people doubting me. Once this stupid you tube vid is posted, you cam all assess for you yourselves at how fast I am swinging. The monitor is pretty much reliable from what I have seen, so I don't see any need to not believe it。But I do need swing advise for sure.

OK, the video is finally uploaded.

Hear is it. 136 mph for a 45 " driver, 128 mph for my 3 wood and 124 for the 3 iron and I think I was getting 110 for the 9 iron.

I Garret-tee that with a 48" driver I could get at least 140 - to 147 mph. Actually thinking of entering the drive contest to see what I can do.

Make sure you watch it in you tube at at maximum level.

Hey! So you're not trolling! :-)

Not the 140-150mph swing speed that was originally claimed but still impressive nonetheless.  Was expecting you to be either a troll or clueless.

As for swing advice, there are plenty of members here that can help you. Start a my swing thread and contribute more on the forums and you'll get some good advice.

Still not sure it's 140-150 as the original thread title suggested but appears to be pretty damn speedy. And from my untrained eye, seems pretty armsy so I think you could even improve on it with a little more lower body action and timing. Also obvious you're swinging out of your shoes which isn't going to promote accuracy or contact. Slow it down to 115, hit the middle of the club face and you will be amazed at the distances you'll get. Nice job.

I was only going off the retail stores numbers, So, they fudge swing a bit or they gave my a qave longer driver and that is where the head speed has ve from.. Still, with a 48" driver I am very confident that I can get into the 140 mph range for sure. I am very interested in going to the re-max drive pro tournament, for sure.

I would certainly give it a try. I don't think you'll be able to get into the 150mph range with 3 inches more shaft though.

Nice job.

So, you can see I was not intentional lying. Maybe the retail shop was fudging their number to make me feel good. But always new IU was hitting better than most. I need I 48" clyp to see how fast I really am. Amy suggestions fro clubs to see if can match these long drivers. Very interested in coming to American to compete in the lonng drive. Those 3" make a huge difference for sure.

With the average at 145, I am sure I can get those speeds. Plus, I have no formal training , so buckling down will give more distance and ahead speed for sure.

No suggestions, don't know much about it. Used to be a pretty long driver but never cracked 120; now I'm in the 95-105 range so long driving is not something I've ever really looked into. With a little training and practice, I think you could compete. I'm sure there's a wealth of knowledge regarding that particular competition, equipment, technique, etc., on the interweb. Good luck.

See the last sentence of the first paragraph in my last reply.

    • Wordle 1,013 4/6* ⬛🟦🟦⬛⬛ ⬛🟦⬛🟦🟦 🟧⬛🟧🟧🟧 🟧🟧🟧🟧🟧 par is good after a double bogey yesterday.
    • 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.
