Make the Change Play With Hybrids

over the past weeks, Ive highlighted how inefficient we all are with long irons. I hope that you have done your own analysis. I would expect that, if you have looked at the whole performance, not only will you find that there is little difference between your #5, #4 and 3-Iron yardages, you will also find a diminishing level of accuracy as you get up to the 3-Iron.

Hopefully youve picked up a hybrid and found that it looks and feels solid and gives you the confidence that you can hit the ball much more consistently AND accurately.

Below are two of my recommended hybrid alternatives:

There are four reasons why I like and recommend the Mizuno CLK Fli-Hi hybrid:

The first is that it has a moderate offset and a heel weighted emphasis that encourages the face to close at impact. That reduces the chances of the ball going right (a fade or slice). Even if a club is easy to hit, the greatest weakness of most golfers is a shot that drifts right (right handers) and this club solves that problem.

If you pick up one of these clubs, look at the way that the heel and toe have been sculpted to make it much easier to play from the sand or the rough. Flexibility, from any lie, is a benefit that you want from any hybrid you play with

Finally, courtesy of Mizunos ability to work with many materials in club head design, the crown of this clubs takes up just 2.6% of the club heads total weight. That means the MOI can be increased, making this a very stable, solid, forgiving golf club.

callaway have been a leader in the Fairway Wood category and have now brought that expertise and innovation to the hybrid category with the callaway X Hybrids.

Callaways Variable Face Thickness (VFT) and S2H2 hosel technology both increase the amount of weight that can be re-positioned to the perimeters of the club head. That increases MOI and makes these hybrids very forgiving.

The VFT face also brings callaway high-COR rating to the club ensuring that you will get a longer distance to go with the higher ball trajectory.

The X sole design has been developed to make it easier to get the club head to pass through light and thick rough, while allowing the club head to slide over tight fairways.

When choosing a hybrid Id like to talk to you about your swing speed, what woods do you carry, and how you might make use of the hybrid off the tee. If you feel that you might want a little EXTRA distance, beyond where you hit your #4 and 3-Iron today, then there are designs that have that priority. If you feel you achieve enough distance, but want additional accuracy and a higher ball flight, then there are solutions that will work best. And, if you want to deal with a nagging right to left shot shape, then there are Hybrids designed just for you.

Let me help you improve your golf, enjoy your golf more and make the most out of your investment in Hybrids.

Roof Insulation in the UK

Roof insulations structure not only eliminates problems caused due weather, like leakage etc., but also perks up thermal and acoustic insulation of the ceiling warmer and quieter.

Roof Insulation (UK) has a dual advantage, in summer season the ceiling remains cool, and radiates this cool air down, so the weather in-house remains cool, this helps in reducing electric bills greatly, since you will not need the AC too frequently. In the winter cycle, the roof radiates warmth, not requiring the use of the heat radiator, thus further contributing to your electric bill.

Roof insulation also eliminate the problem of condensation and burst pipes, but having some weather control. Maintenance of the insulated roof, is very simple and the normally the dealers themselves give amazing deals, some roof insulations do come with a warranty service period of 6 months or more, during which time roof maintenance is absolutely free. Many Roofing companies have dedicated maintenance divisions and support lines, and they are always ready to help.

After installation of the insulated roofs, most companies also give a demonstration of how to care for your new roof, and when and how to call the maintenance for regular roof inspections. It is generally a good idea to keep calling the maintenance of your roof company for roof inspection, every six months, thus staying away from situations during which the roof may be in conditions that warrant repairs costing approximately the same amount of money used for buying and installing the new roof. Home owners need to let go of the conventional out-of-sight, out-of-mind attitude, when it comes to roofing problems, that may lead to really poor roof insulations, roof degradation, or even roof sagging, caused by external weather conditions. Thus installation of these roofs might be simple, maintenance is not, and these roofs have to be looked after regularly.

New Cabbage Soup Diet

The new cabbage soup diet is basically the same as the old cabbage soup diet that has been around for years. There are a few twists to the new version that make it a little different, but it is still a very low calorie diet that consists of eating a lot of cabbage. The cabbage soup diet cuts calories by drastic amounts, thus the weight loss is also dramatic. The great results are short lived because no one can sustain this diet indefinitely.

There is not a claim as to who first started this diet. The idea is to eat as much cabbage soup as you want. You are to eat enough to ensure that you do not ever feel full. The foods that you are allowed to eat are broken down so that only a couple of things are allowed each day. Of course, you eat the soup everyday.

Day 1 -Fruit as you like, no bananas

Day 2 - Vegetables

Day 3 - Fruit and vegetables no potatoes and bananas

Day 4 - Bananas and skimmed milk

Day 5 - Beef and tomatoes

Day 6 - Beef and vegetables no potatoes

Day 7 - Brown rice, vegetables no potatoes

recipes for the cabbage soup vary, but all are based on cabbage, onions, tinned tomatoes, Bell peppers, celery, carrots and onion soup mix.

The cabbage soup diet does work, but the results are very short term. the weight is regained as quickly as it came off. This diet is often used by people who need a quick fix for some upcoming event. The diet is pretty simple and easy to keep up with, but it requires a lot of shopping and cooking. The soup stores well for a few days at a time in the refrigerator.

For those of us who need help losing weight a better choice would be hoodia gordonii.

Hoodia gordonii is a great addition to any diet plan. Hoodia is an appetite suppressant that some scientisits believe may be the most powerful weight loss supplement ever discovered. The Hoodia Breakthrough. Hoodia has been eaten by the San Bushmen who live in the Kalihari desert for centuries. There are no known side effects to hoodia. Participants in studies have shown an appetite reduction of 1,000 calories per day. Anyone who is serious about losing weight should look into hoodia more...Continue

Skyscrapers and Hurricanes - Thinking Out Loud

In areas where hurricanes or super high-winds occur it seems we need to be a little more cognizant of the wind-flow modeling as each building is built or a master plan downtown renewal project is slated. This is a very serious issue. Many studies have been done in chicago "The Windy City" and other places because the air funnels between the buildings and due to Bernoulli's Principle that air speeds up to make thru, between the buildings which makes it even worse.

There were over 230 mph winds recorded in Guam during a tropical typhoon and at the time it was the highest ever. My parents were actually in a high-rise apartment complex when it happened and the building did fine, but flying debris is dangerous and if and when pieces fall off the building they really get going and cause more damage. The hurricanes in miami, remnants of Wilma caused severe damage downtown, but much was from the Tornadoes that accompany such storms.

The air flow modeling around cities is quite serious and must be studied, adding an additional building can change everything, there are CAD cam programs to study this airflow, they also use them indoors for airflow models in homes and businesses to cut down on energy requirements for let's say air-conditioning and such. These are extremely useful tools and sure beat building models for miniaturized wind tunnels.

One must also remember a hurricane, Typhoon or Cyclone (depends where you are) will travel a certain way (Counter-Clockwise) and in lower hemisphere opposite, depends the location, but either way the storm as it passed blows winds in all directions, as it moves past, you are hit from different angles of course. See the problem and why this is such a critical issue?

What about 28-foot storm surges? Can you imagine the damage that will be caused by something of this magnitude? That would be a CAT five (plus) on the Saffir Simpson, you are talking center storm pressures pretty low, this would be a "Rita" or "Wilma" plus at land fall and you say what happened cancun. Serious stuff. God help your beautiful hilton Hotel or Club Med setting, see ya. You are taking a Tsunami type event similar to what followed the Sumatra Quake.

Let's face it 30 feet is 30 feet, if you fail to stop that water it will wipe out everything in its path that is not protected. In the future cities will be set up with ocean-wave energy generation, but can that infrastructure survive at catastrophic storm surge? After all, you do not want the wave to knock out your power leading to a worsened event, but I think the engineers can design a system that can go idle and withstand that type of storm surge using fluid dynamic strategies, computer modeling and allowing it to go neutral and the waves over until the storm passes.

If you want to protect your city from a hurricane, you must worry about the wind models and the storm surge modeling and perhaps you need a barriers out in the ocean to slow it down too. Reef system etc. and prevent erosion because if you have one storm that wipes out your barriers and get a second you are toast. See the issues - Let us think on this, it can be done!
