CLS wheels painted graphite grey. I think Kauve or Shards have some better pics where you can pick out faces better.


Moose,
Yes. This sausage was strong in this one...

Don't swing so hard and follow through. You have to be able to keep your balance through the entire swing.

Here's mine

Solid lag in the swing.

It's amusing how playing with sprained wrist has improved my score. Forces a slower tempo.

Exactly! The trick is to feel the impact on the ball. Once you've got that, you've got it.

Hey all,

Thanks for the hospitality! The trip home was a little rough with all the tropical storm nonsense moving up the coast.... My flight arrived late and the 4 hour drive home from the airport ended up being 6.5 hours instead.

The rain and traffic made it awfully hard to play with the new mods (headers and Quaife). Tomorrow is supposed to be nicer.

Same storm gave us issues here in south florida
I left work at 5:15 and didnt get home until 8:30.
I had to abandon my E about a mile from my house as the area had over 9" of rain that afternoon. Dont get on me for abandoning my car as we saw a Black Series abandoned on the causeway as well.

My buddy in his G Wagen came and picked me up and we got beers to pass the time.

Funny you mention that....

I was on 95N in Connecticut for a couple of hours due to flooding. The highway was being squeezed down to a single lane that was ONLY about 12" deep (the other lanes were even worse!)....

I turned off my ELM and allowed the car to go back to factory height, then used the "raise" button to gain an extra inch. It was a very weird situation to be in, but if I was STAR lowered, or using washers I'm not sure I would have been gotten "across the pond" as easily.

Today, the sun is starting to peek through....maybe I'll be able to get out later and do some "doodling" with my tires and new Quaife.
