Now I will offer one additional point of contention (and no I haven't reviewed all the previous posts), that may or may not have been addressed and that is the "Hurt Locker". I have no idea if Jack ever played through the kind of pain the Tiger reportedly endured, so that unto itself could be a tipping point, one way or another. For the life of me, I can't comprehend the metal fortitude that must take place to hit a golf ball, while knowing it's coming and steeling yourself to play through it. I'm talking about the leg fracture and the US Open, the back stops everyone cold, as we plainly see this year. So to sum up, is Tiger the best? --- Of the last 20 years, undoubtedly. The best of all time? --- Can't make that assessment until the majors are equal. It's like saying that the original 4 minute mile has been run under 3:45, but it was only actually for 7/8 of a mile.

This is a debate that can go on for ever, but there's two major things that folks should bring into mind. #1 You can only compare the two, when they have achieved an equal status in the majors. Now for #2---- The old adage of "walk a mile in someone's shoes" can come into play here. That being, go play a round or 2 with a balata ball, a persimmon head driver and shorter and weaker forged irons.

I realize that this is a very old thread, but for what it's worth as far as clones and in particular the King Snake's. When they first came out, way back when, I had a friend that was in the club business. He ordered 12 sets of snakes from a distributor in California. When they arrived, only 8 sets were King Snake, the other 4 sets were King Cobra's. When he notified the distributor about the mix up, he was told to just keep the Cobra's, but for informational sake, he was further told that Cobra actually produced the Snake. So Cobra cornered the clone market on their own product. If you place a Cobra and a Snake side by side, the only difference is in the name and it's the same number of letters. IMO, very smart on Cobra's part for removing the competition in the clone market, as far as their club was concerned. No for clones in general. Everything is made in China, even the name brands and I've had some name brands that played like crap and clones that played great. If spending big bucks is not a problem and thinking that your going to get the same equipment that the pro's play with, well I've got a bridge and some beach front property that can be had fairly cheap..........
