2007 NBA Mock Draft

I'm going to do something fresh and original with these mocks. The last time, I did the ol' comment on why this selection makes sense format. Do I really need to explain myself? Nope! So now I'm doing my player comparisons. Some are too dead on to argue about, so I went with the 'general consensus' comparison, but for some... I went out on a limb. Next mock... only I know what I'm going to do!

3 Tips to Fix Unreliable Wireless Connections

Generally speaking, wireless computer connections are reliable. However, nothing is perfect, and sometimes you may lose your connection or experience a weak signal. There are many factors that impact the reliability of your wireless connection.

For example, if your wireless adapter is too close to a 2.4 GHz wireless telephone, you may notice a decrease in your computers wireless single strength. Why? Because the phone and the computer reside on the same frequency and can interfere with each others performance.

Handy repair Checklist for wireless Interruptions

1.First check to see if your cable or DSL is actually working. Usually located in your basement, most modems have four lights. You have a live internet connection if the data or status light is on. If its off, or flashing, your cable is out.

2.If your cable/DSL is working, then reboot your computer. Sometimes, if your cable/DSL goes out for even 10 seconds, your computer and the wireless router may no longer be able to talk to each other. By rebooting your computer, a new IP address is assigned, allowing them to once again communicate.

3.If your desktop is wireless and youve moved the wireless adapter [the box that sits next to the computer with antennas], then you may need to move the adapter until you find a stronger signal.

Make the Change Play With Hybrids

Over the past weeks, Ive highlighted how inefficient we all are with long irons. I hope that you have done your own analysis. I would expect that, if you have looked at the whole performance, not only will you find that there is little difference between your #5, #4 and 3-iron yardages, you will also find a diminishing level of accuracy as you get up to the 3-iron.

Hopefully youve picked up a Hybrid and found that it looks and feels solid and gives you the confidence that you can hit the ball much more consistently AND accurately.

Below are two of my recommended Hybrid alternatives:

There are four reasons why I like and recommend the mizuno CLK Fli-Hi hybrid:

The first is that it has a moderate offset and a heel weighted emphasis that encourages the face to close at impact. That reduces the chances of the ball going right (a fade or slice). Even if a club is easy to hit, the greatest weakness of most golfers is a shot that drifts right (right handers) and this club solves that problem.

If you pick up one of these clubs, look at the way that the heel and toe have been sculpted to make it much easier to play from the sand or the rough. Flexibility, from any lie, is a benefit that you want from any hybrid you play with

Finally, courtesy of Mizunos ability to work with many materials in club head design, the crown of this clubs takes up just 2.6% of the club heads total weight. That means the MOI can be increased, making this a very stable, solid, forgiving golf club.

callaway have been a leader in the Fairway Wood category and have now brought that expertise and innovation to the Hybrid category with the callaway X hybrids.

Callaways Variable Face Thickness (VFT) and S2H2 hosel technology both increase the amount of weight that can be re-positioned to the perimeters of the club head. That increases MOI and makes these hybrids very forgiving.

The VFT face also brings callaway high-COR rating to the club ensuring that you will get a longer distance to go with the higher ball trajectory.

The X sole design has been developed to make it easier to get the club head to pass through light and thick rough, while allowing the club head to slide over tight fairways.

When choosing a Hybrid Id like to talk to you about your swing speed, what woods do you carry, and how you might make use of the Hybrid off the tee. If you feel that you might want a little EXTRA distance, beyond where you hit your #4 and 3-iron today, then there are designs that have that priority. If you feel you achieve enough distance, but want additional accuracy and a higher ball flight, then there are solutions that will work best. And, if you want to deal with a nagging right to left shot shape, then there are hybrids designed just for you.

Let me help you improve your golf, enjoy your golf more and make the most out of your investment in hybrids.
