SteelFiber shafts provide superior performance through innovative composite engineering that combines a high-modulus graphite core with 59 miles of steel fiber lacing the shaft surface. The shaft’s graphite core provides vibration dampening, increased clubhead speed and maximum distance, while the steel fibers produce optimum weighting for a solid feel at impact and add stability and control for pinpoint accuracy.

  • Immersion Into Noise
    Immersion Into Noise Critical Climate Change Series Editors: Tom Cohen and Claire Colebrook The era of climate change involves the mutation of systems beyond 20th century anthropomorphic models and has stood, until recent- ly, outside representation or address. Understood in a broad and critical sense, climate change concerns material agencies that im- pact on biomass and energy, erased borders and microbial inven- tion, geological and nanographic time, and extinction events. The possibility of extinction has always been a latent figure in textual production and archives; but the current sense of depletion, decay, mutation and exhaustion calls for new modes of address, new styles of publishing and authoring, and new formats and speeds of distri- bution. As the pressures and re-alignments of this re-arrangement occur, so must the critical languages and conceptual templates, po- litical premises and definitions of ‘life.’ There is a particular need to publish in timely fashion experimental monographs that redefine the boundaries of disciplinary fields, rhetorical invasions, the in- terface of conceptual and scientific languages, and geomorphic and geopolitical interventions. Critical Climate Change is oriented, in this general manner, toward the epistemo-political mutations that correspond to the temporalities of terrestrial mutation.

  • Scripting and Consuming Black Bodies in Hip Hop Music and Pimp Movies
    SCRIPTING AND CONSUMING BLACK BODIES IN HIP HOP MUSIC AND PIMP MOVIES Ronald L Jackson II and Sakile K. Camara ... Much of the assault on the soulfulness of African American people has come from a White patriarchal, capitalist-dominated music industry, which essentially uses, with their consent and collusion, Black bodies and voices to be messengers of doom and death. Gangsta rap lets us know Black life is worth nothing, that love does not exist among us, that no education for critical consciousness can save us if we are marked for death, that women's bodies are objects, to be used and discard­ ed. The tragedy is not that this music exists, that it makes a lot of money, but that there is no countercultural message that is equally powerful, that can capture the hearts and imaginations of young Black folks who want to live, and live soulfully) Feminist film critics maintain that the dominant look in cinema is, historically, a gendered gaze. More precisely, this viewpoint argues that the dominant visual and narrative conventions of filmmaking generally fix "women as image" and "men as bearer of the image." I would like to suggest that Hollywood cinema also frames a highly particularized racial gaze-that is, a representational system that posi­ tions Blacks as image and Whites as bearer of the image.2 Black bodies have become commodities in the mass media marketplace, particu­ larly within Hip Hop music and Black film. Within the epigraph above, both hooks and Watkins explain the debilitating effects that accompany pathologized fixations on race and gender in Black popular culture.

    Thank You for purchasing the golf industry’s state-of-the-art TourGAUGE Putter Machine. You should find it simple to operate. Please follow the instructions in this manual. If you have any questions, please call 1-800-437-1314. Your TourGAUGE Putter Machine is a percision gauge. When measuring a particular golf club in your TourGAUGE Putter Machine, the angle readings are correct. When these angle readings are compared to the published standards for that putter and are found different, then that particular iron does not meet those standards. If you compare the loft/lie angles of a particular putter measured in other machines to a TourGAUGE Putter Machine, there may be a difference. That is because some machines do not adjust for offset, progressive offset, non-offset, or face progression hosel positions and therefore give inaccurate and inconsistent readings. You can measure any putter in a TourGAUGE Putter Machine accurately. All products manufactured by Mitchell Golf are guaranteed against defects and workmanship. Replacement or repair will be at the discretion of Mitchell Golf.

PICTURED: A set of s the distance debate rages, modern hickory clubs at the golf equipment and hitting distances Winter Park Hickory Classic have come under increased scrutiny. RIGHT: The U.S. Golf Association and the Richard Boggs R&A’s recent release of their Distance of Sanford, Florida Insights Report certainly put a spotlight on that discussion. BELOW: A But there is another way. A square-dimpled ball Bill Geisler, a past president of the Society of Hickory Golfers, sat down for a discussion about his passion for old golf clubs at Winter Park Golf Course, a short nine-holer that has drawn critical acclaim since its renovation in 2016 and proved an ideal setting for the hickory players. Geisler was there to run the Winter Park Hickory Classic, in which most of the two dozen competitors dressed in period clothes. As Geisler explains, the hickory mindset is not just about which clubs to play. It’s more of a lifestyle choice as an estimated 3,000 hickory aficionados in the U.S. embrace the gear and methodologies enjoyed by players before the introduction of steel shafts in the early 1900s. 60 GOLFWEEK ISSUE 1 . 2020 JAMES GILBERT/USA TODAY SPORTS TODAY GILBERT/USA JAMES + FOR MORE GOLF NEWS, VISIT GOLFWEEK.COM 61 LEFT: Natalie Wells of Winter Park, Florida, tees off in her hometown hickory tournament.
