Jay, David,

Thanks for the update from LV. I have an idea for David re
a golf game. Seems to me that you could basically get all
the information about a golf swing from sensors on the grip
of a club--i.e. left/right clubhead speed etc. Why not make
a weighted grip with a screen (attached via flexible wire to
the grip) and actually have the person swing a golf club. You
could have a wide variety of courses etc with plug-in chips.
Could even use as a practice assister. The golf market is
absolutely huge, and I could imagine the traveling buisnessman
working on his swing in the hotel room/airport, etc.

Most of the golf games I have seen do not simulate golf, with
a real grip, and simulating a real swing--I think it would be
great. You could even do sand shots, etc.

I used to practice in the winter with weighted grips and it
was really useful. The only problem was, I never had any feedback.

Jay - Chris thanks for the posts. Sorry to say I'm having some of Hanks luck out here in Albuquerque. Not a fishing game in sight :-( Getting a little worried, 3 weeks after Xmas and not a Radica game any where. Walmart, Toys WERE Us, nothing. Hope the sales are making the books for Q1. I know the damand is good.
