Well-Tempered Golf Ball?


In this month's TAS they describe the Well-Tempered Amadeus as follows: "tonearm is suspended from fishing line (which I've seen and understand) and damped with a golf ball."

Can someone explain this golf ball? Are we talking a Titleist here or merely something that reminds the author of a golf ball?

HI, Lewm, I totally agree. After having a reference myself, the Amadeus is much much easier to set up, I even did it myself. I haven't done that since the old AR/Premier MMT days, and I've had lots of tables in between.
I like to think Firebaugh thinks "outside the bun"--I hear he's a big fan of sushi.
Hope you get to hear one soon....I think you'll love it.
Such arrogance, such idiotic babble.
How can you comment on something you haven't experienced?
I would think if you hear it you'll be changing your depends! and the joke will be on you....
It's quite easy, Lewm, if you can understand it all. The arm isn't the least finicky, and in some ways is quite a departure from the old WT. Firebaugh has made it easier for you, not harder--that's the beauty of it, and it sounds better.

Take care
Yes, socoaste, the fluid viscosity should be what Firebaugh recommends--you wouldn't want to float your ball in just anything, now would you?

Could be a nice look, especially if you were Arnold Palmer, otherwise way too hard, I'm afraid. I'd go back to your squashed balls if I were you.
