Karaoke Works Now
I have an old JVC XL-SV22 CD/CDG karaoke player that was not compatable with my newer AV receiver. The receiver does not have enough RCA-type inputs but mostly HDMI ports, so while I could play CD's with the unit, the CDG's would not display on the TV. I decided to try this converter and it has worked perfectly. I am very happy with this product.

A driver you can hit off the deck of the fairway, but no techno-rocket.
This is an older Tommy Armour design from the late 1990's. It is basically a larger (250cc-ish) Titanium version of the 855s steel driver of the same period. The Ti 100 driver complimented the club set for the Ti 100 irons. It is a good driver, but otherwise, unremarkable. It's in my bag for the crummy but fun par 3 course I occasionally play. Probably intended to compete against the early Callaway Big Bertha, with increased forgiveness, size and light weight. The stock graphite shaft has a .75 inch butt end! Try putting a grip on that...which is why I reshafted my 11 degree head. Titanium drivers of this period had solid faces with no trampoline effect. It would not be long before thin-face technology took off. These Ti 100 drivers are fairly rare these days.
More noteworthy might be the irons of this series. Supposedly, these were the first all-titanium irons in mass production. I don't own those, but I saw some in a pawn shop once...absolutely HUGE heads. Think Ronald McDonald's clown shoes. Reviewers often state that the wedges were too large to hit and would resort to buying conventional-sized wedges. Armour only produced the Ti-100 series for about a year. The failure of the series (specifically, the irons) probably helped the demise of Tommy Armour as a upper-tier clubmaker.

Good Driver
I recently bought a used TA Ayrtime driver and reshafted it with a stiff Mamiya shaft. I suppose it's a 10 degree loft, since it says mid-launch on the side of it. Hitting it produces a ball flight consistant with 10 degrees, but, I'd prefer knowing for sure, and wish they'd just put the loft on it. At 430cc, it's a big head. It produces the aluminum baseball bat TOINK! sound at impact . . .a sound I find sort of annoying, but certainly not the worst(try hitting an Acer Mantera 460cc head...the sound is worse and the metal is so thin that you could smash the head like a coke can). The adjustable weights are set "neutral" for uncompensated ball flight. Hit correctly, the club produces good distance. Forgiveness is okay for a trampolene-effect face, but I find I get more drives on the fairway in regulation with my old Tommy Armour 845ti. I prefer accuracy to distance, so, usually the old 845ti stays in the bag. I'll keep working with the Ayrtime at the range and give it a chance.
