Probably college football. Oklahoma State is my first team, but my brother attended OU law school so I'm a fan of OU too. I just support the Big 12 overall but enjoy any good match.

My favorite sport, to watch, is Premier League Football.  The games are on in the morning, there are no commercials, and they take no more than two hours.  I root for Bournemouth; not to win the title but to stay up.  My favorite team, however, is the Detroit Red Wings.  I grew up in Detroit and played hockey when I was younger.

Growing up in Northeast Ohio and playing baseball in college, mine definitely has to be baseball and the Cleveland Indians. 

Although since I have moved down to the Columbus area, Ohio State football comes in at a close 2nd!

MLB, and the Cubs is my #1 favorite. #2 is the NFL, and the Packers.

The world series I want to see would be the Cubs, and Red Sox. I already saw my favorite Superbowl with the Packers, and Steelers

My Dad played in the Cubs system for a year before WW-2. Hence Iam a Cubs fan. 

As for being a Packer fan, we were visiting relatives, and they had tickets to the "Ice Bowl". "

  1. Cleveland Browns - Raised that way.  Live and die on Sundays with them...mostly die.
  2. Duke Basketball - I have a cousin who started working for Duke way back in the early 90's and started following them back then.  Moving to NC out of college has only grown my passion.
  3. Penn State Football - My alma mater.
  4. Cleveland Indians/Cavs/sports
  5. Manchester United - I started watching EPL back in the early 2000's when I was going over to the UK.  A bunch of the guys I worked with over there were big Man U fans and we would go to the pub and watch them when they were on.  It was an absolute blast and I got hooked.  I never thought I'd actually like to sit down and watch soccer (football) but the quality is so much better and really enjoyable.  It's grown my love for US soccer as well.

Little bit of a mixed bag but it is what it is...I love watching sports

Fairways and Greens.

    • You are not wrong. The shaft and the head together both contribute to the performance of the club. I'd also suggest that they contribute in different amounts depending upon whether we are comparing a driver, an iron or a wedge. (We could argue all day about how much is the head and how much is the shaft... and I would enjoy the argument.) Having said that, in order for a youtuber or anyone else for that matter to completely optimize the club and then hit it in comparison to another completely optimized club is all but impossible. Just one of the many reasons why all club tests should be taken with a generous pinch of salt.  Not only that but even in robot testing there are variables that are outside the areas of control. I've personally been lucky enough to witness robot testing first had. It's fascinating how non-repeatable the results can be. Let me elaborate. With an 7 or 8 iron the robot can land balls over and over again in an area the size of a kiddie pool. However, when the testers moved away from a 7 or 8 iron, the results got less and less precise. Interestingly it didn't matter if they went up or down the bag. With the robot hitting short pitches and even chips, relatively, more variation than full short iron shots. Similarly, long drives with the robot created more variation as well. This is without the effects of wind, variations in the surface and texture of where the ball lands etc...  In addition, this doesn't take into account possible bias, either consciously or unconsciously of the tester. The testers I got to witness (these happened to by Taylormade guys, but I'm sure it doesn't matter), confessed that they could influence the results if they wanted to. They could take two clubs and make either of them "win" with robot testing if they wanted to. They made to the point to illustrate that in their job they had to constantly make sure they were fighting bias and/or putting in double checks, but never-the-less when I now read about any testing saying X club is 7 yards longer, I think back to their statement.  So, if it's that difficult to get really good results out of a robot imagine how difficult it is to get quantifiable results out of a human swinging a club.  Here's a fun test to try. Hit your driver 10 times on a launch monitor and gather the data (You can do 20 or 30 swings it doesn't matter). Now group the data into 2 sets, the odd numbered swings and the even numbered swings. Look at your two data sets. I guarantee that one data set will look "better" than the other. Even though, it's the same person swinging the same club on the same day. But if you just happened to be testing a driver against your driver on that day, Even if you gather your data by switching back and forth between the two drivers you may get misleading results. I've done this test a few times in my life and it's interesting to see how the "odd numbered me" or the "even numbered me" always produces different results, sometimes one will win by a large margin.  In summary, I too enjoy watching reviews of the new clubs that come out, especially drivers. But it is information not data.

    • Something I’ve been thinking about. I watch a lot of club tests, retired and get up way too early, and there’s something I think in my opinion might be being done wrong. They might pick several drivers, could be something different, and use the same shaft so things will be equal. In my mind a shaft might be good in one club and not in another. Learned the hard way, had my best ever driver at the time, G410, and kept hearing about how great the G425 MAX was. Since I sometimes have trouble finding senior shafts we traded heads and the 410 shaft never seemed to work out in the 425 head for me. Wasn’t as straight or as long so I have moved on. Don’t think everyone was wrong about the G425, just think that combination maybe didn’t work for me.
