I like to ride my bicycle, play tennis, swim, in-line skate, ski, play racquetball, run and fish.

Thanks for the info on the "E" on the Hogans clubs. I took the clubs out to the range for their first swing test and i hit better than i have ever hit before...right down the middle and distances i've never encountered with irons before (for me). i was hitting my 4 iron 200 yards while using my 1 (real wood) wood at 225. I did have probs swinging the 3 iron though. i don't know why. I'm very pleased with the clubs purchase and that the seller came through for me.

I was a Florida transplant in Denver for many years. Go Rox!

I've never seen it. Is it good? I have had trouble getting into his music and I've tried many a times.

Update: After I escalated the issue with Paypal Claims, the clubs magically appeared at my doorstep 2 days later with a shipping date that matched the day after I created a dispute with Paypal. I knew he hadn't shipped them. It was probably due to laziness or forgetting. I am very happy to have the clubs and I look forward to swinging them. They are in great shape and exactly as described. Question... They are Ben Hogan forged irons. There is a club with the name of "E" or "Edge". Is this equivalent to a Pitching Wedge? Thanks in advance.

Does anybody participate in Inline Skating? My wife and I are going to be getting our first pairs. We want to up our exercising without having to go to a gym. This is more fun. It's been recommended to get K2 or Rollerblade brand skates by a friend. What are your opinions. Any suggested models purely to be used for exercise/recreation...no tricks? I know the way they fit is the most important these days. Also recommendations on helmets/pads companies? I was hoping to spend around 60/pair. Is that feasible?

Well, there has been absolutely no communication coming from the seller so I escalated it to "claims" at Paypal. He buys/sells on Ebay often so I don't think I will have a difficult time getting my refund. In the event that the clubs eventually show up, I will be very happy. There are many other clubs out there so I'm not set on these obviously. I'm just disappointed how it all ended up, ya know?

I have bought and sold things on ebay over the last few years with no problems so I decided a shot at some 7 year old Ben Hogan forged irons (to help improve my game a bit) off of Ebay. The seller had good reviews so I figured...I have little to lose. I won the auction and they sold for $39 and $17 shipping. Boy, was this a mistake. I should have known better. It's been just about 3 weeks and I have yet to receive my irons. The seller has been poor at communicating with me and I have had to escalate this to Paypal for a dispute. The seller claims the US Post Office has lost them. The post office says chances are that the seller never sent them. There is no proof the seller can provide that he actually sent the clubs. I think he just wanted more money for the clubs and decided he rather resell them while keeping my money....or....he didn't send them yet, intends to and is blaming it on the Post Office (and they will magically appear in the next day or two). If you are buying clubs online through a private individual, be sure to demand shipment only with insurance and a tracking number. Sometimes it might be better to just buy them locally. Anybody else had luck?

nice rigs! i play an american fender strat with lace sensor pickups and a martin 6 string. i have no pics unfortunately. i also have a fender stage lead 2-12 solid state amp that has been beaten up on tour, but still works. mostly, i plug right into the pa system and use a nice multi-effects boss pedal. i forget which one though.

Holy cow!

Basset Hounds and Golden Retrievers Also a big fan of Border Collies, but I don't live on a farm....those guys need to run!

There's an offseason? I'd suggest taking a trip or two to Florida, Arizona or southern Cal. Since you are in Utah, it shouldn't be too expensive to get in a few rounds during the offseason. I used to live in Denver and we golfed all year round. We only couldn't play when there was snow on the ground.

I'll be able to test this out in the near future. I have been playing on old hand-me-downs that are probably as old as me (35). Recently, I purchased newer, but still older, clubs (about 7 years old and just a set of irons) and I intend on playing my next round on them. They are forged Ben Hogans. I'm hoping to break 100 for the first time. We'll see.

Welcome to the board! I grew up in Coral Springs and live in the St. Pete area now after a long stint in Colorado.

Wow! I would have loved to seen/heard that. If you are ever in St. Pete again, let me know.
