  1. No but that is my buddies dad's ball. He really likes it. Talks tons of smack to his son with the pro v1's when he beats him on a hole. My budget ball is the Zip. Not sure why, but I find it's softness comforting.
  2. I have 2 doz Mojos that I can pass on to you for cheap too.
  3. I didn;t know it was urethane until I looked at the box. Supposed to promote increased height. Hopefully it will not be the 155 yard 7i that is 155 up and 10 forward. Only a 2 piece. little crisp on the putter when I have taken it out in the cold. it may be a totally fun summer ball though. I do have 3 boxes to move through.
  4. You are grandmaster of number 2

  5. I had this same experience. Before my driver and I had our current understanding, I did the B'stone fitting and was a side spin machine. Dude running it said here hit these. e6+ Wanted the Rx's. This did motivate me to address driver issues and the next time he rolled in with the fitting, the rx was the fit. Remembered me and my messy output from before and complimented me on my efforts. Back to the e6+. OK on the tee. Hated it near the green, chip or putter did not agree with me. I did just pick up a bunch of boxes of e5+ from target clearance last month for $7 a dozen though. At that price I will forgive a lot and hopefully the urethane cover on the 5 will stop it. I may hit these too high though... Give the extras to some young kid on the course.
  6. Yet again good info No idea about caffeine half life. Never thought of it that way. First ingestion at 6am and then second at 930 puts me within the first decay. Another cup at 230 is still close to the second one. No problem sleeping, but was prone to the cat nap. No quick nap since dropping supplemental coffee. Didn't really need to know that I can get caffeine in rectal delivery form though...
  7. I have one other sort of body/fitness question to bounce off you... For about two weeks now, I have stopped drinking coffee during the day and substituted bottled water. I still drink 2 cups in the morning, but the two that I typically drank during the day are gone. What is weird is that my energy is much better and more level. Fewer lows, as a bar, typically Atkins type of Cliff's Builder bar will take care of the low. Can I attribute this all to better hydration by removing the diuretic in caffeine and boosting water intake, or is there another body system involved?
  8. This is cool, thanks a bunch. That magazine had all kinds of cool stuff. Accidentally went to page 41 first and read that high intensity cardio goes after muscle not fat after the carbs are gone. Not very intuitive. I feel like I am about kindergarten with this stuff, but it is fascinating. The tie in with human genome project and gene expression just makes it better for me. If I understand the chemistry, I am more likely to believe in it and do it. I see what you mean about protein from food not having enough BCAA's to reach the required level. The post below mine (maybe above this one) mentioned specific powders and supplements. At 220 and 21% body fat, how much am I looking at needing and does the supplement vary on gym days vs. non gym days?
  9. Did you do that on purpose? Why do you think that Adams is making a charge into the market more now than in the past?
  10. If I can now hit the balls and truly know when I have hit them correctly, by feel and flight anyway, I think that the range sessions will be much better. Plus the rain has finally stopped in norcal so the grass areas at the range will be opening soon.
  11. Office mate grew up in Plano and she still raves about it. Hopefully you will too.
  12. actually went to the range again today and I could now feel it when I missed. if i am too fast from the top i miss left if i lose my right elbow from my body, i miss right, assuming OTT is back again slow and right arm under control and I was hitting it much better going to get out again on thursday and keep trying to groove that feeling.
  13. So say one has a geeky sciencey kind of gig and went to read the journal article cited and found it interesting and wanted more. Gene expression and regulation of enzymatic rate is a bit of my day to day. I find different expression systems and pathways to be interesting. I had not heard of this effect and I want to find out more. Maybe a resource/reference list that you have of journal articles. Here is the link to the article: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16365096?ordinalpos=1&itool=PPMCLayout.PPMCAppController.PPMCArticlePage.PPMCPubmedRA&linkpos=5 That aside is it better to seek foods with BCAA's or are supplements required?
  14. Hi Dave

    welcome to the fray. :)

  15. Thanks. Are the essential aromatic amino acids not as important for the muscles (phenylalanine and tryptophan). Trp is found in relatively high amounts in turkey. Phe in diet coke.
  16. As someone new to this information, can you post the long form of the abbreviations too so I can follow along? BCAA's?
  17. Well i hit the range again on Sunday. Haggin is a mess as they update the range to mega fancy so the mats are on the infield grass. Ditched the "tall" address and really focused on slow from the top. bottom of the pool slow, and it made a difference. No real loss of distance either. silly game when the hook came back I could feel that I was fast and my right arm/elbow separated from my body early. still think that the burners lack the feel of the MX200's but no new irons yet. hoping to play on weekend, friday is out because of a funeral ssssssssllllooooowwwwww was magical
  18. http://www.essortment.com/all/whatisrolfing_rllo.htm Quick search into this. The fascia manipulation made me think of it
  19. Standard shift of fat mass to muscle mass. Think that I am about 20 pounds off from target. strength is OK, at 41 I can still bench my body weight (like that matters) but I would like to be leaner. really, overall conditioning to get the body ready for the next 40 years. When lifting regularly, I gain muscle mass quickly, but the toning never seems to happen, regardless of changing weight/reps and etc. Currently doing three days of cardio (running/swimming) and light weights. Most of the weights have been sets of various styles on the pulley machine (not sure of official name) Diet wise, lower carb, very low processed sugars, mainly protein and vegetables. Without going on and on, I am looking for a change that I can incorporate into the daily routine that will be healthier and lead toward general overall fitness. Hopefully some of that made sense, kind of rambled...
  20. Great new thread Michael. Say someone, me, is looking to get fitter and read the above and lost a little in the translation. Where is a beginning resource to start with? Not to seem dull, but I feel ready for a nutritional overhaul to go with the gym time. Thanks
  21. Depends on where you are. You can get good grinders and wheels here at Harbor Freight for cheap. Buffing wheels and stuff too. They don't sell skill though, so my grinder collects dust in the garage. It anyone needs one...
