PlaidJacket Posted May 31, 2018 Author Share Posted May 31, 2018 That pic of the 3 balls was taken on the strings of my pedal steel. It's an older model (left hand and rare) BMI 3-pedal single neck. It makes some pretty sweet music. I'm not a great player by any means but I do alright. It's for sale if any is interested.

StrokerAce Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Well spies... #HardRockChallenge COMPLETED! I started with a Pinnacle Gold ... a little scuffed up. Wasn't having too much fun with that one so I switched to a Wilson TC2 (with some sort of stripe on it?) After I hit my tee shot I was browsing along and came upon this beauty! There was no way I was going to let a chance to play the "Desperado" pass me by! I was tempted though because I found this one in the rough too. Classic "Super" Titanium...but he was not about to knock my Desperado out. I actually hit the Desperado pretty good with my irons... best of the day here: All in all it was a "Sterling" day... The skies were blue... And I wasn't in Cleveland... Fun challenge but boy did I wince when I knew I had to hit more than iron off the tee !! I ended up at 4 over.... I could play one of these balls if I absolutely had to.

So should we move to the other thread? Sent from my iPhone using MyGolfSpy I spoke with Plaid about the concept of a comp and he gave his blessing to get it started, but mentioned it may be better in a new thread. Really the idea behind it was to get more people involved in trying out the hard rock challenge and to keep a record of how everyone fared. Didn't want to threadjack nor take away from what Plaid started and what is a great idea. I'll follow where the community takes it and keep up with how everyone is doing whether in this post or the competition post.
