Anyways..

I'm in the market for a new grill. I love the Weber Summit series, but don't like the price (800-900)

Anyone know of any good alternatives?

I've had brands other than Weber before, and was NOT happy with them. Flame-up problems, uneven heating, etc.

Let me know.. thanks!

Jenn-Air, best grill I have ever owned. Not super expensive but not cheap either. All the other grills I have ever had ended up in the garbage, I doubt this one will anytime soon. I have had it for about 4 years now, that's when the others are falling apart.

Forgot to mention.. Has to be propane gas. I live in a high-rise..

I already have the Weber Charcoal and love it. Too bad I can't use it!

The Weber "Genesis Silver B" was picked by Cooks Illustrated magazine as their Best Grill AND Best Value in a test about 3 years ago (the slightly larger "Silver A" came in second, but it was a hundred buck more if I recall).

Weber recently stopped making the "Genesis" series (including the even more expensive "Genesis Gold" line) but you might try calling around to large hardware outlet stores to see if they have any left in stock - they might even discount them to get 'em off their hands.

Replacing the economical Silver series is the Weber "Spirit E-310". About.com named it one of it's Top-10 Under $500 grills of 2007. You can see the entire list here or just read the review directly .

Good luck with whatever you end up getting. Grilling rocks!

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

My grill died this spring and I picked up a Kenmore at Sears. Works great, burns evenly and didn't take long to assemble.

I think a good one to go with is the Weber Genesis. It's a little cheaper than the summit, and a little bit smaller. Here is a site with a good weber e-310 gas grill review that you could take a look at. It has more than I know about it, but I own one, and I can tell you that it will last a long time and I recommend it.

good luck!

I recommend buying whatever you buy from a Sears store.
Their service is fantastic and a warranty is a warranty.

      PGA Tour Makes Sweeping Changes Starting in 2028

      By iacas · Posted

      The highlights as I see them: Championship and Challenger Series The creation of the PGA Tour and the PGB Tour, in the words of Joel Dahmen a few years ago. They're calling them the Championship Series (23-24 events) and the Challenger Series (20+ events). Both run February to August. They feel this will achieve three things: increasing the consistency and quality of fields across the season creating a clear system for players to earn and retain status and delivering a more structured and competitive experience for fans and partners—all in an effort to strengthen meritocracy. Championship Series Structure and Eligibility The 23-24 events includes the Players, majors, season-ending events, and the Presidents Cup and Ryder Cup. These will be 72-hole events with a 36-hole cut to the top 65 and ties and purses of $20M+. 120 players without an alternate list. 90 players (roughly) from the previous year and 20 players promoted from the Challenger Series. Full eligibility will be finalized later this year. Sites (cities) to be finalized soon, but 10 of the 15 courses have already been determined. Postseason: includes retention and relegation and concludes with match play. The Tour Championship will also be played across a rotation of prestigious courses. Challenger Series Structure and Eligibility 20+ events. Running concurrently. Will feature players fighting their way back to the Championship Series or players graduating and on the upswing from the Korn Ferry Tour. Many of these events will be current PGA Tour courses. About 7 of the Challenger Series events will be during off weeks for the Championship Series with elevated purses and visibility. Purses of at least $4M, with cuts similar to the Champ series. 144 player fields. Competitive Fields for Both Series Players will be eligible for only one series at a time: Championship Series Players are not eligible for Challenger Series events. Championship Series members will have a known schedule with all events having the same eligibility. Players and Majors will have their own eligibility criteria. Championship Series players don't have to play all events. This begs the question about, say, the Canadian Open, and other "home-town" events that players might want to play, even if they're Challenger Series events. Will releases be granted? Promotion and Relegation At least 90 players will be retained in the Championship Series, and 20 players will be promoted from the Challenger Series each year. Battlefield promotion for two-time winners from the Challenger Series. Players relegated from the Championship Series will have a "last chance" opportunity to retain status, or will go to the Challenger Series. Criteria will be finalized before the start of the 2027 season. Points System New points system (not FedExCup points). Separate points systems for the Championship and Challenger Series. Elevated points in the Challenger Series for off-weeks on the Championship Series. More details tk. Elevated International Events in the Fall The fall schedule will include a limited series of elevated international events with top players from the Championship Series, with the intent to deliver in partnership with the DP World Tour as part of the Strategic Alliance. Last Chance Series The Tour will develop a “last chance” series of 4-6 events in the fall, with a limited number of spots on the Championship Series available for top finishers. Eligibility will include players relegated from the Championship Series, Challenger Series players, and other categories to be determined. Q-School continues, as do the Korn Ferry Tour and PGA Tour Latinoamerica. Also, Brian Rolapp is the new commissioner as of January 1, 2027.

      My Swing (Gestate0560)

      By iacas · Posted

      Yes, because you have lifted to like 120° without bending the left elbow. So when you turn and the left elbow bends… it bends in such a way that you then lower your left humerus and pull the club around you.
