Titleist

So there's talks Acushnet company is going to be sold? To whom?
This is sad!

The first thing that came to my mind is, will the employees face the axe? That will be sad! I hope they all get to keep their jobs.

Yes I am slightly mad about them pulling off ferrule advertisements...ferrules *roll my eyes*
but I heart people...we're talking jobs, we're talking livelihood. Besides, those brand managers that pull listings off eBay are merely doing their jobs. They are paid to do what they have to do - even if it makes sense or not. That's cos they are employees.
So I really hope no jobs or not a lot of jobs are lost during the impending acquisition.
I'm in HR....its my job. LOL

dealermatch on eBAY / golfstiffy

Today I wanna write a post about (dealermatch) on eBay or Golfstiffy (www.golfstiffy.com)

I was just doing some market research online and chanced upon his 'items for sale'.
I looked at every one of his items and description.
I must say I was, and am still a little annoyed at what he writes on his item description.

This guy flat out disses overseas sellers and claims that overseas sellers sells cheap knock offs that will even cause damage to golf clubs. I mean, that's quite a sweeping statement isn't it? It's like saying all Muslims are terrorists?

Part of doing well in sales is to sell yourself well and give yourself credit. I get that, I totally do. On the flip side, do not cheapen yourself by discrediting your competitors.

What's more controversial is that I know who is his supplier - from overseas. All his sleeves, ferrules, parts, club heads.
All his statements such as 'this is not an overseas import', 'this is made in the USA', 'be cautious of overseas sellers'....seems to be a man biting his own tongue.

Play the game gracefully.
Think like this: It's like, why $#%@ the guy who clothed you?

Taylormade R11 ASP...different versions

There will be 4 versions of ASP plates...I may be wrong; there may be more than 4, but as far as I know, I am only made aware of 4 versions now:

Red 8

Red 9

Gold 8

Gold 9

The gold plates are exclusive to Japanese R11s only...but if you wanna pimp your driver, you can get a gold plate from me. You can have a look at how the gold plate looks on the head here

So it leaves us to the question, what's the difference between 8 and 9?

However, upon closer examination, seems like I could spot a difference:

On the 9, there is another 'inner circle' 

What does the 'inner circle' do?

I remember reading on golfsmith that the TP R11 has a lower CG. So there must be some kind of a difference

I have had a friend who told me:

- The '8' plates are found in retail heads. They adjust 2 degree closed and 2 degree open

- The '9' plates are tour issue plates. They adjust 1 degree closed and 1 degree open

There will be 4 different plates adjustable in 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2 degrees respectively. 

Thanks for the info buddy! The info is from my buddy Scott T.

I have previously discussed about 'questionable' number 8 plates: Link 1  Link 2

I will continue to work on this 'project' and find the other asp plates!

30 Jan 2011 update:

Heard from my supplier that an ASP plate with number 5 has been discovered! That must be the 0.5 or 1.5 degree version! Keep in the loop! :)

I heart this project!

Taylormade R11 ASP

I've taken these pictures like so long ago, I think 3 months ago, LOL

Since I'm in the mood to blog... but do not know what to write about, I'm digging this up to write for fun

So back a while back there were talks of fake ASP plates...or AST plates whatever we used to call it. Non adjustable plates. Remour was that people 'made' these copy plates to match it up with fake R11 heads to sell even months before the retail release date.

Some argue that they are prototype versions, which the white number 8 printed behind

Truth be told, today there are genuine number 8 ASP plates. They will be shipped with the R11s come 2nd Feb. I will later write in another post on the number 8 and number 9 plates.

I guess it was just the white printed number, and nerdy fonts on the plates that raised eyebrows.

Just some comparisons... (the left one with the number 8 is the questionable plate whereas the right one is the confirmed genuine version)

The workmanship is clearly better on the right plate yeah?

Oh I hate the nerdy fonts on the left plate

Workmanship

Weight of the 'real' one: 4.2g

Weight of the questionable plate: 3.8g

Anyways, I don't think there will still be a lot of these 'weird' plates floating around

Cookies I made

Let me show off my wonderful cookies that I made myself!

Have a good weekend friends!

156 miles per hour

That's Jamie Sadlowski at the 2011 PGA Tour Show
156 miles per hour! Unreal!!!

Brought tears to my eyes

Did you guys watch American Idol last night?
Check out the story of this guy - Chris Medina

Jeez!

I was just so stunned...I mean, speechless and tearful me!
Its like a gentle reminder not to take each even min we have for granted

2011 Taylormade Drivers

I think for 2011 Taylormade has launched the sexist clubs - hands down!
That piece of Burner Superfast 2.0 will be going into my bag - based on functionality
The Gold R11 is my favourite judging from the looks department but based on hitting it well (for me) ... that club on the extreme right will get a space in my bag :)

2011 Taylormade R11 Driver

Which one do you prefer? I personally like the Gold Japanese version

Gold digger I am! haha

I SHOULD SCREW MYSELF!

OMG! I can't believe it! I just realize I lost 20pcs of putter inserts (2011 black version) and 150pcs of Kiama Putter Weights! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats some kind of major loss! F*$# myself!!!!!

I think it was inside one of those 3 cartons which I disposed off the other day....funny, I wonder who picked up my cartons and found my stash. Does he know what it is? Maybe he thinks they are some lame trash! *Painful, upset heart*

Lesson learnt, double check...triple check especially during busy periods. *SAD*
ARGH!!!!!!!!

Good luck to you :)

What's up? Nothing much...today I spent 4 hours in the hairdressers' being vain.
So she asked me, "just highlight and touch up the roots with the same color?"
I asked "What's in now?"
"Copper, reds, tangy loud colors are in now" she replied

"Ok, just mix it up for me, something refreshing" I said....."Oh, so you don't mind?" She tried to reconfirm....."Yeah I trust your style" I assured her.....

Ok, so after the dye was washed off....I have purple and red streaks on my hair! OMG!!! LOL!!!!!!!!!!!

Gotta get used to my new IMAGE

Anyways, a very good friend of mine will be sitting for a test tomorrow. Wanna wish him all the best and you know that no matter what I'm always behind you. I'm so proud of you and you know that.

Titleist 910 Surefit shaft sleeves: Getting it right this time

i realize my camera sucks

Hah! Always knew this day would come - sooner rather than later

I also learnt today that there are actually many versions of these sleeves that Titleist made, just like Taylormade. There are sleeves with different adjustability and there's even tour sleeves! I believe the sleeves for the Drivers and fairway woods are different too, and sources told me that theres .335  .350 and .370. Interesting!

CONTACT ME for info if you need any.

and I pray

Dear God,

Forgive me for I have sinned, I have allowed anger to take control of me
I pray that you'll make me a better, stronger person
Help me to understand that everything happens for a reason
Help me to see that your're in control
I pray that you will take away traces of rage in me, Instead, teach me to love
Teach me to be humble, help me to grow in your likeness.

Amen
