This is it . Its made for younger folks that are still active . Don't let them do the ceramic golf ball your too young!!! If thats all they offer go someplace else. Also push your insurance company they might cave, you never know until you ask. Good luck see you on the beach in Sept.

If your fishing an open beach and feel good, go for it, but I'd stay off the rocks and stay inside in snotty weather this year.

I read an article this weekend (NY times???) about ceramic joints developing sweaks when people walk. Hope that doesn't happen to you as you'll never be able to sneak to one of your "secret" spots again.

An uncle got one about 1 year ago and other than the rehab being tough (which you know) all went pretty smoothly.

Good luck.
