I actually had it pegged as "Skem slang" but don't want to burn bridges, there's Cobras for sale :whoo:

Ok, this Skem thing is getting out of hand now... I don't know how it started, but I bet there's a scouser involved somewhere..:D

Oh. and there's no Cobras for sale.. they're just resting for the Summer.. Waiting to help me drag my handicap down to your level (or for those Proto's to drag your handicap up to mine);)

I could be using g20's and my handicap will pass yours on the way up mate :whoo: Along with Birchy, Qwerty, Junior.....

When it does you will take pity on me and sell me the Cobras at a knock down price :whistle:
 
Having seen some of the pics, some of these greens should not be played, and I've seen similar marks from other makes .... just the Tour Adizero makes some very distinctive marks so its easy to identify.

Anyway no way I'm not wearing mine for anybody ... although I'm wearing boots at the moment so they don't get dirty :)

I'll tell you what mate. If I bypass you this year, I'll sell you the Cobras at a knockdown price.. I'll be too busy using a new set of Titleist 714MB's and Nikon binoculars to watch the bacon flying overhead....:D

Sounds fair :cheers:

Then I'll finally accept my limitations and get the 2015 TM "Bobby Dazzler" irons with ultra speed cargo pant pockets.

And still my handicap will go up :mad:

Rubbish... Changing irons won't make a difference to your handicap.. Buying a great big mallet headed putter and practising with it might though.......:whistle:

Not got a big mallet putter, but do have a mallet one though :thup:

Had a lesson and practising has made a massive difference, my last 5 rounds I've only had one 3 putt. I do realise I've just given myself the kiss of death :whistle:

Lesson on the driving and short game practice for me this year... You're right, if I couldn't hit irons I'd be a 28 capper!! Lose most of my shots off the tee and on the greens.

Perhaps my putting would improve if people stopped leaving ruddy great marks all over the greens with their adizero shoes :whoo:

Quite possibly the best attempt to get a thread back on track I've ever seen..:thup:.. Hang on a mo while I get SILH to join this thread. That should guarantee another 30 pages at least..

Had to do something to tenuously link it back to the thread subject....... :whistle:

Although once SiLH and Phil get arguing over the finer points of something or other pedantic the original thread will be neither here nor there. :ears:

Very true.. I'll leave it then... Anyway, I don't even like the Adizeros.. I like the new Puma Monolites..:thup: They go better with the Cobras...
 
Typical TM/Adidas corporate response. I still believe had their been a problem the number of courses banning them in the conditions we've seen would have increased significantly which leads me to believe, in my own mind at least, that there is either an issue with the greens way back when in the OP or that the course shouldn't have been open.

I saw players at the Downshire (which shouldn't have been open really) in them by the 9th and 18th today I wandered across and while you could tell golfers had been there (including a guy definitely built for comfort and not speed), there was no damage. Hardly a scientific approach granted but I still don't think these shoes are causing universal damage. For any magazine to come out and say so without irrefutable proof is marketing suicide
 
Getting back to adidas I have some and they do leave big marks on greens but I think the design was meant to do that as they are more or less the same as the football boots only with cleats instead of studs . They have jumped to golf from football without testing on soft British greens the sole on the f/boots are the same!!! they are designed to stop footballers falling over on wet pitches so its not suprising that they leave these marks. as for Adidas admitting anything we have no chance ! just save them for summer.
