Nintendo Wii Brings The Gym to You With Wii-Fit

Nintendo has announced a new fitness game Wii Fit which is a full on exercise product set to give you more of a workout than Wii sports, while still retaining all the fun of gaming. Wii Fit will help to keep you physically fit via a dedicated peripheral, a wireless balance board which comes with the game. There are over 40 different activities, including hula hooping, ski jumping and heading soccer balls.

The hula hooping consists of, as youd expect, gyrating your hips with a virtual hoop onscreen and then as the game progresses, characters will throw more hoops for you to catch and rotate as many times as you can until the time runs out.

The skiing game gives you two chances to make the longest jump you can whilst keeping your balance when landing. Players can increase speed by leaning forward, the more you lean the faster youll go, and upon reaching the jump, you stand up straight ensuring your weight is evenly balanced for a good landing.

For the football game, you will need to balance on the board moving from side to side whilst balls are fired at you to hit back on to the field and avoiding other objects that are thrown at you at the same time.

training falls into 4 categories: Aerobics, muscle conditioning, yoga and balance games. Players can assign their height to a profile to measure body mass index and Wii fitness age as well as monitor progress and record performance statistics.

The calorie busting fun could appeal to couch potato kids as well a non gamers, perhaps using the Nintendo Wii as a slimming tool which would be a move into the lifestyle category rather than gaming, covering the market from another angle.

Nintendo has not given a release date yet for Wii Fit, although its thought to hit the highstreet in early 2008.

Where Are All the Used Titleist Pro V1 Golf Balls and Are They Worth It?

Golfers can not get enough used Pro V1 Golf Balls. As soon as we receive a shipment of used Pro V1s, they are gone within a couple of days. I will be the first to admit, I am not a golf ball expert. However, I am curious and motivated to find out why we cant keep a large supply of used Pro V1 golf balls and whether or not there are golf balls that are just as good. According to titleist, Pro V1s (MSRP $58) have:

New, staggered wave parting line - longer distance from enhanced ball flight

New, higher coverage 392 dimple design - penetrating trajectory for long, consistent distance

New, A.I.M. (Alignment Integrated Marking) sidestamp - integrated alignment guide for improved putting alignment

Longer driver distance

Soft compression for outstanding feel

drop-And-Stop control

The most durable of all titleist tour-played golf balls

So, what else have I found out about used Pro V1s? 1. Why are used Pro V1s in such demand at $24 to $29 a dozen?The answer to this one was easy if I thought about it. titleist Pro V1s are the #1 ball used on the pga tour. The Pro V1 is the most preferred ball by lower handicap players. It makes complete sense that these balls are found less often in water or lost in the woods. The pga Tour player and other experienced golfers are less likely to loose the ball. 2.

Are Pro V1s really THAT good?I am sure that this question will stir up a huge debate, but I thought it was important to cover. Bottom line, yes they are a fantastic high performance ball. It was very hard to find anyone that did not feel the Pro V1 was the best ball on the market. If you are looking for a ball with great feel and accuracy, the Pro V1 is it. However, I do need to add, there are other soft balls that are very good. I can not really say other balls are actually better because it is really based on personal preference. Some simply feel more confident using a titleist ball. This is where the titleist brand name comes into play. titleist is known to make some of the best golf balls. Golfers have been using titleist for years. brand loyalty and comfort using the same brand goes a long way. 3. If I can not find any used Titleist Pro V1s, what should I use?When this question was asked, most would add, but they are not as good as the Pro V1s. Keeping that in mind, feel free to try these performance balls around $10 to $20 used ($20 to $40 new):

Nike One black

Nike One Platinum

Callaway HX tour
