Your golf shoes are laced tight, the morning dew shimmers on the freshly-mowed fairway grass, and your buddies give you honors on the tee. A few practice swings, then...thwack! Your brand-new ball shoots out 100 yards, then fades right, heading for the deep rough. "Man, I can NEVER hit this club!" you exclaim as you head back to your bag, defeated and embarrassed. You've been thinking about buying a new set, but where do you begin? As a former professional caddie, golf store employee, and avid golfer, I have learned some of the "secrets" of finding that perfect match: the golfer and his or her clubs.One of the first steps is to perform a bit of self-analysis - why exactly do you need new golf clubs? Perhaps you've been asked to play at a company or family outing, maybe you've got some free time now and the game just seems like fun, or maybe you've been playing with the same hand-me-down clubs from the 1970's that your dad gave you when you were a teenager.One of the pros of being at the "just trying this game out" stage is that the equipment doesn't have to drain you financially. There are plenty of starter sets you can buy in the $150-$250 range. These do not often survive the wear and tear of multiple summers, however, so don't think of them as a long-term investment. They may also not even be a "full" set - they may not include long-range irons, or may even just have every other club. If you're going to keep playing, though, invest more wisely in a complete set of irons and woods.Some higher-end golf clubs come in a complete set, with a 3-iron through sand wedge and two or three woods thrown in as well. Others, however, are sold separately. This is due to the different tastes of golfers and their different needs, such as buying their own sand wedges and woods. Your woods and irons do not need to match, unless you would like them to, for the sake of consistency or brand loyalty.The graphite revolution has opened up many more doors to golfers' selections. Of course, we still have the traditional steel shafts, but graphite shafts can really benefit your game, especially if your swing speed is not as strong as it used to be. If you're a hard swinger, you may lose some control, however, due to the shaft's tendency to "whip" much more than the steel shaft. And, as you may have guessed, clubs with graphite shafts generally cost much more, sometimes up to and over $1,000. Also beware of "cheap" graphite shafts - look for high-quality names, or perhaps filament-wound shafts that get extra support in the graphite resin. You really get what you pay for with these shafts. If you're a decent swinger, though, you are welcome to stick with the old reliable steel shafts with your irons - they'll save you money and keep you closer to the green on those approach shots. If you have the money, go the distance and buy woods with graphite shafts.Graphite shafts (and, well, steel shafts too) come in different "flexes" that fit your swing speed. These range from a ladies flex to an extra stiff flex, for those players that swing out of their shoes. Have your swing speed measured at a sporting goods store, then buy the correct flex for you: ladies flex is for 60 mph or less, senior flex for 60 to 75 mph, regular for 75-85, stiff for 85 to 93, and extra stiff for swing speeds over 93 mph.Irons come in basically two varieties: cavity-back and blades. The "cavity-back" design looks like the back is empty with a thick outer ridge encircling it. This allows for more even distribution of the weight and, thus, a much more forgiving club face. This is the best option for most golfers, but some still prefer the challenge and "feel" of a good set of blades, which do not have the cavity-back, and therefore are not as forgiving. If you're still duffing sod in heaping chunks every round, stick with the cavity-back design. Club manufacturers seem to have endless gimmicks that claim to improve your game, like variable hosel lengths, different groove patterns, and different head shapes - you don't need to buy into any of these, in my opinion.Clubs also come in various lengths, but the majority of men and women can fit the "standard" size. For example, most men's clubs are suitable for men between 5' 7" and 6' 3". If standard size clubs feel awkward, however, then explore other lengths to see what works best for your size.The driver, or 1-wood, is a potentially lethal club in your golfing arsenal. Some golfers refuse to even take it out of the bag for fear of the ball flying astray into oncoming traffic or three fairways over. Don't be afraid - find the right shaft for your swing speed, then determine which "loft" you will need: fast swingers can opt for a lower trajectory, such as an 8 degree, while slower swingers will benefit from a higher-lofted driver, perhaps a 12 degree or higher. This will give them maximum distance by sending the ball on a higher trajectory. Driver heads seem to have swollen up to the size of watermelons - it's hard to see how someone could miss! Just remember, however: buying clubs to cover your poor golf game does not exactly make you a better golfer.Try having matching woods in your bag in order to develop consistency in your swing, and stay away from those oversized 3- and 5-woods on steroids - they can easily get tied up in the grass in the rough, sending your ball into whoknowswhere. A standard 3- and 5-wood should work well for most golfers and, again, lean towards the graphite option to maximize distance. You can buy woods in many different lofts, so determine what works best for you if it comes down to a high-lofted wood or a low-trajectory iron when zeroing in on the green.Sand wedges are more of a personal preference as well. These helpful sticks can save you while nudged deep in the murky sands of the trap...and don't try to go cheap by using the pitching wedge that came with your set. Sand wedges come in different lofts and this other silly angle called the "bounce" angle, which indicates the angle between the bottom of the club and the ground. A higher bounce angle will "cut" into the ground more, thus giving more spin on the ball and may be better for softer conditions. Does it matter much? Probably not. Oh yeah, steel shafts work just fine.Putters, putters, putters. These clubs could probably have a separate article - heck, even a book - written about them. Again, there are many different types, like blades and mallots, milled face and faces with colored inserts,etc., etc. It's simple: putt around in the store and find one you like. Don't worry so much about cost or brand, and there's no need whatsoever for a graphite shaft.So now that you have an idea of what you may need, you may be considering some "knockoff" brand to save a few bucks. This is not always a bad option, but consider a few things: name-brand companies often have better customer service since they crave repeat customers, and clubs with fancy names like "Callaway" and "Nike" have much higher trade-in or resale value than any knockoff competitor; again, your choice.With all this to think about, perhaps the best advice I used to give my customers is this: "Here, sir, take these three clubs out on the range and see which one you like the best," because lofts, shafts, and head sizes don't mean a thing if you have no confidence in your clubs. Buy a set that will make you proud you're a golfer when you're looking down at the ball lying on the ground, lining up your next shot.

I'm downsizing. I'm selling a four bedroom four bath home that I've lived in for about thirty years. I'm planning on moving to a two bedroom two bathrooom condominium. I wanted a new vacuum cleaner. I wanted something small and light weight since the new place will be so much smaller than what i"m living in now. I usually use an Electrolux and a Roombie to clean my floors along with a floor machine for my tiles. I'm expecting to have less storage in the new home so I decided to dwonsize my vacuum cleaner.I decided to go to Bed, Bath & Beyond since it's close by. I had a little Shark cannister that cleaned like a huge machine and was easy to maneuver. Since they didn't have this model the saleman talked me into the Shark upright. I wanted to stick with the same brand even if I couldn't get the same model. I took this grudgingly though telling the salesman I was going to return it if it didn't work out for me. He was perfectly agreeable.The Shark, model EP619, is a ruby red upright that requires no bag. It uses a Hepa filter system.It claims in the advertising that it will do jam proof deep cleaning. You have options to use this vacuum on hardwood/tile floors and carpet just by switching the control button. There is a built in long suction hose that extends quite a ways and will take the wand tool and the brush attacment giving you access to above the floor cleaning. When not in use this coils back and attaches to the body of the vacuum. The wanfd and brush have their own little storage areas.The Shark machine is said to be the best full size upright under 12 lbs. I have an iffy back so the weight of this is defintely a selling point for me.The Shark EP 619 has a motor that is a unique two motor system with something called an "intelligent brush roll system". It will give you deep carpet cleaning and then huge suction on bare floors. It gives you 1 1/2 times the suction of a regular upright vacuum cleaner.The bagless aspect of the Shark prevents allergens from returning to the air. Dust goes in but clean air comes out. You don't need bags, you just remove the cannister area, move a switch and it empties into the garbage.You never touch the dust and dirt. You don't have to buy bags. It's a reusable Hepa filter It has a bottom emptying cup.The Hepa filter can be tap cleaned after each use or rinsed under running water. Cleaner filters mean healthier air and better performance.The hand grip is large and easy to hold o to. You can break down the parts on this vacuum so that your unit takes up about half the assembled size.This was important to me since I wanted a space saving vacuum. The vacuum cleaner has a convenient cord storage feature. The power cord winds around two cord holders at teh back of the vacuum. The top holder has a quick release feature. You turn the cord hook to the left or right to remove the power cord. A little warning:attach your pwer cord to the cord holder so that it's out of the way when you are using the machine.You get a brush roll warning light, quick release cord holder, lower cord and hose holders, a crevice tool and a dusting brush. The dusting brush is great for Venetian blinds and furniture, books, lamp shades. The brush roll warning light will come on if the floor brush becomes jammed and stops revolving. Then you just turn your vacuum off, remove the floor brush and remove whatever is jamming it. It's a very easy process. A free filter progam for life is availalble but you do have to pay $5.95 shipping and handling per month so I opted not to enroll in this program.The entire vacuum is very easy to use and does a super job cleaning. Shark guarentees the vacuum will be free of defects in maaterial and workmanship.You get a one year limited warranty. Shark also offers a stick Shark, a Retractor Stic Pro, and a Transformer Vac. It's possible the cannister I already have is no longer available.Warnings: Read your instructions before usingNever yank the cord out of the socket.Do not use the vacuum without all the filters in place.This Shark EP 619 retails for $79.00 but Bed, Bath & Beyond always offers 20% off on purchases over $15.00.

More than just a table for coffee or for supporting large books, coffee tables can also be beautiful works of art in their own right. An oak coffee table are useful for so many things; it's no surprise to find that some people can't imagine a home without one. Looking around, it is possible to find a range of different oak coffee tables; as many different designs as there are homes that need a table, it's always easy to find an oak coffee table, but which one is the best kind for you?The first thing to consider is the size of the room you want the oak coffee table to be in. If you live in a small area, you should try and find something small which will flatter what space you have. A square side table might be ideal for your small living room; one with a clean, simple design would probably be best.A larger room can accommodate a bigger oak coffee table, although it does not necessarily have to be highly decorated. Some larger tables can be minimalistic, making a room seem elegant and sophisticated. Another consideration when looking for an oak coffee table is your own personality, and the type of furniture that you would choose. Any table must fit in with the decoration and planning of the rest of the home, so if you live in a house with modern designs, then an antique-style or decorative, oak coffee table would not suit your home, but a rectangular, or a simple square table, would. On the other hand, if you have a very rich decor, with darker colours, then a dark oak coffee table would help to flatter the design of the house. It is also possible to use coffee tables for storage; if you find yourself needing more space, then an oak coffee table can be useful. A cluttered house can benefit greatly from this kind of furniture; either with or without drawers a solid oak coffee table can help you to organize things. Magazines and paperwork can easily fit upon the top of any table, and if you choose to have drawers in your oak coffee table, then you can easily fit a variety of items into a stylish table. If you are looking for an oak coffee table, then you have a variety of options; you can pick a table which suits the style of your house, or a practical place for odds and ends. Whatever you choose, there is an oak coffee table to satisfy your needs.
