Golf is a game of nearly infinite subtleties. A slight rotation during the swing of a degree or two can mean the difference between hitting the green or landing in the bunker. Those same subtleties are also apparent in a set of golf clubs. As President Woodrow Wilson once remarked, "Golf is a game in which one endeavors to control a ball with implements ill adapted for the purpose." With continued advances in golf club technology, it is possible to see a difference in your game as a result of new clubs, whether you are seeking increased power, accuracy, or...

The "fantasy" in fantasy baseball stands for what a team would be like with a collection of stars gathered together, not for an alternate universe where value has no relation to reality.

Runs, RBIs, battting average, home runs and stolen bases comprise the typical hitting categories, while ERA, strikeouts, wins, WHIP (walks and hits allowed per inning pitched), and saves are the usual pitching categories. At first...
