Sonic the Hedgehog, Long Live The Legend

sonic the hedgehog truely is a legendary video game icon. He smashed his way onto the gaming scene back in 1991 when sega first brought you the super fast, blue blur character.

Known for his rebellious attitude and signature speed, sonic has made a name for himself in the gaming world and has no plans of fading away anytime soon.

Not only can you find Sonic games on the original sega console, you can find Sonic games on next generation consoles including the Wii, PS3, PSP and xbox 360.

Sonic and the secret Rings was released for the Wii console on February 20, 2007. Sonic brought his trademark speed and rebellious attitude to the Wii in his first solo adventure since he was first introduced, back in 1991. The gameplay is simple, but challenging and sonic soars through the game at top speeds!

Sonic the hedgehog is the title for the xbox 360 and PS3 consoles. This video game was created in order to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Sonic the hedgehog franchise. It was released November 14, 2006 for the xbox 360 and January 30, 2007 for the xbox 360.

Sonic Rivals was released November 24, 2006 for the PSP handheld console. Custom built for the Playstation portable, Sonic Rivals is a unique head-to-head racing experience!

While these newer games are all the rage, you can also find great sonic games on other consoles as well, including the ps2, gamecube, Xbox, Gameboy Advance and nintendo DS. The sega mascot brings fun and excitement to all the video games and drags some friends along for the fun. Some friends included are Miles Tails Prower, Amy Rose hedgehog, Shadow the hedgehog, Knuckles Echidna and Cream the Rabbit. And, of course, Sonic's arch enemy, Dr. Eggman, shoves his way into games as well.

Odyssey Golf Putters - Black Series

The Odyssey company offers extensive lines of putters, and this article will describe one of their product lines, the Odyssey black Series of putters.

The Odyssey black Series consists of 3 putter head designs all of which take advantage of the design and technology features developed for this product line.

one feature used on all three models is a tungsten flange at the back of the putter head. This flange adds weight to the rear of the putter head and creates a low CG (center of gravity) which is deep in the club face. This feature helps to lift the ball slightly upon impact and get it rolling quicker. Since the golf ball actually is slightly nestled down into the grass of the putting green, hitting the putt initially with an upward angle helps get the ball rolling. In fact there is a short video on the Odyssey black Series web site that shows a comparison between these clubs and another allegedly typical putter. The black Series putter got the ball rolling about 1 inches before the other putter did. Working in conjunction with the placement of the CG is the loft of the putter face. Each of the putter heads in the line, which are simply called black Series no. 1, no. 2, and no. 3, have a different loft angle of the putter face which is optimized to get the quickest roll possible for the given CG location of each particular putter head. The theory is that the sooner the ball stops skidding after impact and begins a true roll, the more accurate the putt will be, and this certainly makes sense. It should also be noted that the weighted flange helps to create a higher MOI as well, and this provides some forgiveness for putts not hit exactly on the sweet spot of the putter face.

These putters are certainly top of the line and carry a retail price tag of $249 each. black Series no. 1 putter has a rounded heel-toe weighted putter blade with a so called crank-neck hosel and a one shaft offset. The crank neck simply means that the offset is achieved by moving the shaft forward at 90 degree angles instead of a gradual bending of the hosel or shaft. The black Series no. 2 putter has the same features but is more squared-off in appearance. black Series model no. 3 is a mallet style putter with a double bend shaft that gives the same full-shaft offset.

The putter head is made of 1025 carbon steel and features a mix-milled face design which indicates the proper impact area. In other words the face has two different mill patterns on it. There is also a urethane damping layer between the flange and the milled carbon steel head that dampens vibrations.

The three traditional shaped heads of the Odyssey Back Series golf putters offer an interesting alternative for the serious golfer who prefers a traditional type of look and who can afford to spend $249 on his putter. They are certainly worth a look.

Know Your Golf Courses - The Variations

golf courses do not come in one shape and form. There are plenty of variations and each offers benefits and negatives. The key is to know them and pick the perfect course for that day.

The Public golf course is open to everyone. There are no expensive memberships required and they are usually located nearby and have very regular hours of operation. Although they are not famous and, in most cases, as attractive and well maintained as their more glamorous private cousins, the Public golf course is an inexpensive and easy way to either learn the game or hone your skills. They are usually very crowded on weekends and holidays and you may feel rushed or have to wait awhile for your tee off time.

The municipal golf course is thought by many people to represent the best value of all. These courses are owned and maintained by a city or county and they are open primarily to residents. Non-residents may also play here, but are generally charged much high rates. They may also be a bit crowded on the weekends. It really depends more on the course and the popularity of golf in the area.

The Daily Fee golf course is a semi-private type of course that falls in between the public and private courses. There are also hotel and resort golf Courses that are often the very best maintained. They are usually expensive and play is generally restricted to guests of the hotel, but usually not guests can arrange to play on them. The Private golf Courses can be the very best that can be found anywhere, but they are expensive to play on and membership in the owning organization is required. only members and guests can play on the private courses.

There are other ways of classifying golf courses. There are some different types of golf courses based on size. The executive course, for example, tends to be a bit shorter than a regulation course. There is a higher percentage of par 3 holes and the overall length of holes is smaller than a regulation course. There are also some Par 3 golf Courses. These have only holes that average at least 100 feet in length.

Some people might have their own classification scale for the different types of golf courses they encounter. Ease of play or difficulty might be one basis for comparison. Some people actually look up from their shots long enough to notice the surroundings. They might classify courses based on the beauty of the surrounding scenery. Whatever method you use or whatever your level of interest or skill in playing, there are enough different types of golf courses available to satisfy anyone.
