Taylor Thinline T5 – Hybrid Heaven?

t5-group.jpg

I've been playing acoustic guitars for over 25 years, but in the past 8-9 years have come to really love the Taylor line of acoustic guitars. My favorite all around Taylor as been the ever-popular 714 series, particularly with the LR Baggs dual source pickup for live applications. In 2005 Taylor came out with it's Thinline T5 series – a hybrid guitar intended for both acoustic and electric guitar sound applications. For the past two years I've been pretty skeptical that it could do a both job at getting real tones for each one.

How Apple Can Improve the iMac

I've come across what I think is not only a brilliant idea, but would come in darn handy. The Apple iMacs have beautiful screens. It would be awesome to have a way to use the built in monitor as an external monitor for, say, a laptop or desktop (Mac or PC). This would let you consolidate a multi-system environment saving the space you'd use for a monitor.

Sun Mountain Speed Cart – Putting the Exercise Back in Golf

sunmountain.jpg"You just push it off the first tee box and meet it down at the 150 yard marker!" So said our Pro the day we picked up a couple of these glorified pull carts. They certainly looked cool, and even a little fast — maybe it would just roll itself around the golf course with me happily walking behind. As it turns out, that's not the case…you do in fact have to actually push the thing to get it to make it's way around the course, but it sure is nicer than the old school two-wheelers you rent for a couple bucks with chunks out of the wheels.

SkyCaddie SG4 – Ultimate Golf Geekery

skycaddie1.jpgBack in the 17th century, golfers used to smack wooden balls around rough golf courses, walking every step of the way, lugging their crude bamboo clubs from hole to hole in full Sunday dress, and took your best guess as to how far you needed to hit the darn thing. We've come a long way baby.

TaylorMade r7 Draw Irons

TaylorMade r7 Draw IronsTaylorMade's slogan for their r7 Draw series of irons is "Say Goodbye to the Right Side of the Golf Course." While I can't say that I've completely broken off my relationship with that half of the course, I can say that these have been some of the best irons I've played in a while.

For the past 10-15 years I've played some sort of game-improving club or another. My first real set of clubs were Tommy Armour 845s, about 15 years ago. I played those until just a few years ago when I started playing Nike Slingshots. After still having a push or slice that I couldn't easily correct, I decided to look at some irons that might help with the end goal of keeping it straighter down the fairway, and the r7 Draw Irons ended up being the next clubs in my bag.
