I guess Farewell to his Legacy Blacks.

Affectionately referred to on tour as the “Lance Armstrong”.

I like the look of those X Forged Star irons. 

[pjc]

Cannot believe that he is playing the Star version of the X forged irons.  Bigger head, stronger lofts, some of the LPGA players using these are using the standard X forged....weird.  Plus 110 gram Project X IO 6.0 shafts, not exactly tour sauce, but ok.

[RangeBaller]

Callaway nailed those visuals on the new X forged.  I've been eyeing them up for awhile.  Hope to see them in the US market

Sometimes people dont care about offset or topline and need stronger lofts. Nothing wrong with it.

One of these days, I will get this joke (I assume) but utterly clueless at the moment. 

 

And that's odd, because I'm a reasonable cycling fan - love Paris-Roubaix and the Spring Classics - but the Tours leave me cold anymore. With Lance and without Pantani, I have a hard time caring.

The joke?  The one-ball?

Oh right...

 

Surprisingly, that tends to be the last thing that comes to my mind when I think of that guy.

Speaking of - back in my racing days I was a huge Pantani fan.  My race bike was my beloved Bianchi XL EV2 which Il Pirata rode to many victories.  Here's a pic of the 'ole Bish in action racing in Death Valley during the Death Valley to Mt. Whitney stage race circa 1999.  Don't have it in digital form and this was taken by someone in my club supporting us during the race.  Note my saddle is even the Selle Italia "Il Pirata" model saddle which had a cartoon image of Pantani with a pirate bandana stitched in it.  Which I always thought was strange since I was then sitting on his face all the time.  But whatever.  I thought it was cool at the time.

Never stated anything wrong with it, just thought that it was odd, his whole bag is odd including the shafts and the putter....lol

Very cool pic and bike setup. I was able to visit the Pantani museum in Rimini in 2007 during my honeymoon. I loved that guy.
