OT If you are considering the putter that's advertised showing greater accuracy by xx% and tested against two or three well known types -- blade, mallet head, etc .... Don't mean to say I know anything about this putter, but the accuracy claim is sheer BS. See if this fits the claim ----- Putters A, B, C are tested against their X The swing is done on a frame similar to a small swing set for kids and therefore delivers the same foot lbs of energy to the two tested putters. Think about it now, if it takes (and I have no idea but lets use ) .0005 foot lbs of energy to propel the ball 15 feet on the test green with X and the same .0005 ft lbs propels the ball 13.5 feet with A or any of the others at varying distances....... they simply set the test up for the machine to deliver the correct foot lbs to have their putter come closest at the distance ....... they can't prove the line accuracy is better but they can prove the distance accuracy is better. BUT what if the machine were set to have the ball from B closest at say 22 feet and it took .0006 foot lbs to do that ----- then X might, according to the commercial that I saw, hit the ball 25 feet with the same .0006 ft lbs and that sure wouldn't fit their profile of accuracy claimed, would it ? No big deal, just passing the time before I go back outside ..... gggg

Nasdaq's NODES Could Transform the Market fool.com fool.com ...the basic obligation of market makers to provide real liquidity, an obligation underscored by the strengthening of SOES in '87, will essentially be thrown out... ...much of what's good about NODES is the product of Nasdaq adjusting to outside pressure. Much of what remains bad about the proposal involves sly attempts to outflank those pressures... ...But NODES ultimately begs a more important question: Does Nasdaq really need market makers at all?

OT There was talk about Marv and the Knicks last year. I can only imagine the way NY fans will welcome him; those guys can get rough with their welcomes. What do you mean about the graphite shafted sticks? I've had them so long I can't recall if I had a problem getting used to them. Of course they should feel a lot lighter but as long as you have a controlled swing I don't quite see how it would be a problem.
