Obex release date: Mid to late June for Pinnacle Retailers. Mid to late July for all other retailers.
Vibram Birdie Bash: this year is a test year (yes, we test everything!) if all goes well, we will offer this as a event to TDs next year.
My putting was better in Minnesota. I picked a 173 Firm Ridge at both events and loved it. My VP is now only used for windy putts and upshots that cannot afford to turn. I also got my second Ibex ace in Winona, MN at the Pipe Dream Toys Vibram Birdie Mini. We played a nine hole version of the course twice. The first time around, on the fifth or sixth hole, I said to my group on a nice anny hole, "now I can show you why I love the Ibex". I parked it. The next time around, I aced it. Nice day!
And I highly recommend Rocco's pizza to any and all.
