When I started playing golf I was under the impression that all golf balls were made the same and used for the same purpose, I of course, was wrong. I didn't really have anyone to tell me "Hey, your using the wrong ball for this shot!", I just wanted to get on the course and play. Shortly thereafter I began taking golf a little more serious.
In this article I discuss the 2 basic types of golf balls and I'll give ya examples of each one.
If you are going for maximum distance then you'll want to choose a hard 2-piece golf ball. These balls have a hard Surlyn cover and a solid core. The Surlyn cover makes this ball extremely resilient to scuffs and deep scratches. Hard golf balls travel much further than soft ones, however there isn't much workability since there is very little spin. These are the best types of golf balls for weekend hackers (and the driving range). An example of a 2-piece golf ball would be the - Maxfli Noodle.
If distance isn't a problem for you but controlling the ball is, then you need to choose a softer one. These balls provide workability via a higher rate of spin. Instead of the 2-piece construction these have a 3-piece construction:
1. A very soft or sometimes liquid core
2. An inner layer of rubber windings
3. An outer layer of urethane (much softer than Surlyn)
Spin rate (and launch height) can also be controlled by the amount of dimples and their shape. An example of a soft 3-piece golf ball would be the famous - Titleist Pro V1x

Online Fishing Games: The New Adrenalin Rush
Fishing is a sport that many enjoy for its thrill, suspense, and fulfilling experience whenever you land a big one. Tournaments and competitions for this sport would gather fishermen from all over the country who boast of their skills in being able to catch the biggest fish. Competitions concentrating especially on big mouth basses can get really exciting because of the rush it gives while waiting for the catch and the excitement in measuring how big it is once its reeled in.
Unfortunately with a busy society as what we have now, not everyone is interested in fishing anymore. Academics, full-time jobs, and other priorities have taken much of everyone's time, leaving the sport as a hobby instead. There are even people who have never tried fishing, especially for those who grew up in urban cities that are far away from any available fishing spots. But with that comes the alternative: with the Internet as the most accessed form of media in the world, many can actually make their first catch by playing online fishing games.
Fishing games are different from normal video games as they don't have features such as game navigation, leveling up, or character customization. The point of the game is to catch the biggest fish, beating the record, and unlocking rewards each time you win a certain level. Many video games have tried to pattern it to the actual techniques such as casting, luring, and reeling. Strength and speed count in the game since the fishes are meant to act and move like real fishes. Many game developers incorporate all these features into their games, using Flash or Shockwave for their graphics to make the game more realistic. With so many websites hosting these games either for free or by subscription, free fishing games are now available for everyone with or without any experience.
As mentioned in the previous paragraphs, fishing is a sport that gets the adrenalin flowing. To actually have to fight the fish in order to tire it down and reel it in gives a rewarding feeling that won't be forgotten. Big mouth basses are a personal favorite for most fishermen, which is why fishing games creators have tried to create fishing games that concentrate particularly on big mouth basses. Many successful ones can be searched online through major search engines. Free bass fishing games are stricter and have more technicalities than normal Flash fishing games, which go beyond waiting and catching to actually measuring the strength and speed of both the handler and the fish in order to reel it in.
Anyone and everyone can now fish with their own rods, using their own flies, and can do it even in the comforts of their own homes. With online fishing games, players of all ages can feel that same adrenalin rush without having to leave their homes, just to head over to the virtual lake to fish.

Free Bass Fishing Games
Free Bass Fishing Games
By Craig Petersen
If you love to fish but you just can't seem to get out enough to get some quality fishing time in with your buddies, some of the free bass fishing games on the internet could probably be truly entertaining to you. There is nothing like finding something that you like to do and developing other hobbies around it; just as avid bowlers love bowling games, avid fishers can easily fall in love with the free bass fishing games on the web. Depending on the style of game you choose, there is no doubt about the fact that these games are not too difficult to get into.
What to Look for in Free Bass Fishing Games
The free bass fishing games on the internet range from pretty basic to fairly advanced, but free is free and many times you get what you pay for. Free games do not usually allow for players to save their progress, but they do occasionally allow for players to easily interact with one another. If you are the type of computer gamer that likes to chat with other people as they play, some of these more interactive free bass fishing games may be a good idea for you.
Of course, not all of the bass fishing games on the Internet are free. Some of them are going to require payment and you do usually get just what you pay for. If you pay a few dollars for a game, you are going to get a better experience than you would if you were playing some of the free games on the web. It depends on what you want to do; it is not always a good idea to pay for a game as its luster could die for you and your money will have been wasted. Needless to say, free fishing games are always the desired action but if you are finding that you need more than the free games have to offer, you know what to do.
Playing free fishing games on the computer can be quite entertaining to say the least. Don't let it distract you from your work responsibilities or your home responsibilities, as that is an easy trap to fall into and certainly not something that you should want to be part of. They say that online gaming is addictive, and you probably never thought you would have a chance to be part of it. Well, find out for yourself this time!
You can find more information about free bass fishing games at our site. While you're there grab your copy of a free report to help you plan your next trip and then read the secret to finding free fishing games online.

Las Vegas Shows..Something for Everyone.
The next time your planning a trip to Las Vegas, be sure to set aside a little extra money and time to take in one of the fabulous Las Vegas Shows.
There are not many places where you can find such a large selection of shows and performances to watch. No matter when you plan on visiting Las Vegas, you will have top notch entertainment, such as the unbelievable Circue Du Soleil acrobatic shows and the popular Blue Man Group . Some of these shows have been around for many years, and finding tickets to them can be difficult at times. At any given time, you can expect to find popular headline artists playing concerts in Las Vegas, and these are sure to be a concert to remember.
In addition to the musical and theater shows, you can also find excellent magic shows and shows which are great for the children. There are also topless reviews and burlesque shows which are always 21 years of age and up. Needless to say, no matter what your taste, there's a show for you in Las Vegas.
The cost of single tickets for most shows will range from around $40 up to $500. Generally tickets are more than $100 for a major recording artist or performer. I've found that if you know the show you want to go to well in advance, you can shop online and find great discounts. Surprisingly, ebay is an excellent source for getting difficult to find tickets for most Las Vegas shows.
If you need more information on any of the shows playing in Las Vegas or want ticket information, please visit the link below:
