Ok golf pros, need a good answer here. I have around a 100 mph swing speed, have good clubs and have about a 20 handicap (because I am consistently inconsistent). I have relatively good control and average distance for an amateur. I tend to lose 3 or balls per round due to "those" shots. I want a durable ball that will have some bite into the green. Tried precept recently and got good results, but cut several balls (without hitting trees or cart paths). Need some good suggestions and ProV1 cannot be everyone's answer (because of cost). Thanks in advance.

Easy question that I could research, but I am lazy today. By PGA standards, how many clubs are you allowed to carry on a course?

What options do you have when a Mic is too hot for your mixer, even with the gain turned all the way down??

Looking for a semi-gaming laptop. Interested in playing SWTOR on it. Pretty sure both will handle it, but I need a tech person or gamer's 2nd opinion. Please and thank you.

Ok, so this is a real novice question, but. What are the approximate frequencies for band Instruments: Bass Guitar; Guitar; Piano; Vocals?

The install wiz won't even open correctly. I get an error message saying that it won't open. What to do? What to do?
