Golf Tips

If you are the type of golfer who wants to improve your putting, your swing, your choice of equipment, or anything else golf related, then Golf Tips is the magazine for you. This magazine, unlike other golf publications, dedicates almost all of its pages to improvement. Most every golfer wants to get better over time, and Golf Tips is one of the few publications available that focuses all of its contents on self improvement.

As far as the advice goes, Golf Tips is a good magazine and it tries to cover several different aspects of the game in the same issue, so readers can find a relevant article that relates to their own problems. Maybe your problem area is putting. If it is, there is likely a putting article someone in the current issue. Another person might be having trouble perfecting his/her swing and if so, there are plenty of helpful articles that include diagrams so readers will know exactly what to do.

Other magazines include diagrams to illustrate proper maneuvering of the hands and body when swinging a golf club but Golf Tips takes this a step further. It includes not only picture depicting the right way to do it, there are also pictures showing what not to do. With some of these, Golf Tips will make sure the casual reader knows which photo depicts the wrong way to swing by showing a red circle with a line through it (same symbol seen on certain traffic signs), superimposed over the picture. With an illustration like this, there will be no doubt in the golfer's mind what he/she is not supposed to do.

Overall, Golf Tips is a good magazine for someone whose primary interest is improving his/her game. There are other magazines that include some instruction on the game, but Golf Tips concentrates most all of its pages in this area. I prefer a more balanced golf magazine like Golf Digest but I can see how Golf Tips could come in handy. The advice is written like a pro, and it covers something about many different problems in each and every issue.

Mobility iGo Tip A133 for iPhone and iPod
$14.99
Plug has square corners vs rounded corners on my 3Gs. Doesn't fit through my case and I won't remove the case every day to charge the phone. iGo got lazy or didn't notice the new iPhone plugs have changed.

iGo Tip A97 for the Kindle 2, Kindle DX, Motorola RAZR2, Q2, and KRAZR2
$9.99
It's a great idea, and I'd love it -- if it worked. I got the tip and a universal charger, and it worked to charge my Kindle 2. For about a week. Then, for some unknown reason, it stopped working. No charge, nothing.

It's not the tip: the tip still works for the Kindle 2 with a battery-powered emergency charger, but not the outlet charger. (And I only want to use the battery-powered charger on air planes or other places where I don't have access to an outlet.) The tip also works with the outlet charger for my nokia phone!!!

It's not the outlet charger: that still works for my nokia phone, and it works with a different tip for my iPod Touch.

Somehow the interaction between the charger and the tip is faulty, and just stops working.

Annoying!!! Now I have to bring yet another charger on tips.

3A Racing 62-1105 Stainless Exhaust Tip Oval 1-3/4" - 2"

After reading the reviews, I decided to give these a shot - they were absolutely perfect - look great and are good quality. Definitely better than spending the $80+ for the factory tips.
