Well, how do you fare compared to the Zeitgeist? Chat up your fellow wooters and let us know how lame this poll was or what obvious choices we missed. For example: Was this poll a) STUPID, b) DUMB, c) POINTLESS or d) ALL OF THE ABOVE?

Personally I like all the outdoorsie stuff, but I'm sure everyone would love to see a great variety!

Glad I wasn't seeing things and this is new! Can't wait to see what kind of deals we're gonna get!

when you say hunting gear, does it mean there will be gun deals as well like 10 and 12 ga shotguns and those of the same family.

I SCUBA dive and Rock Climb so I'm not expecting too much that I can use for the things I do.

That said, I do use soft goods like rain gear, bathing suits, wicking clothing and insulation.

Like the pole said, we will see how this goes.

I like the golf stuff. I'm just not ready to buy a new set. I'm pretty excited about the new site though. Just keep a good mix. I'm sure I'll see a deal I can't pass up.

I'll be curious where the line gets drawn as "sport":
bowling? probably
badminton? possibly (it's an olympic sport after all)
tiddly-winks?

That's it. I have to sleep if this is what I'm coming up with.

I am looking forward to sporting equipment and knives (which may also be considered sporting equipment...)

You can't sell guns over the internet to a private citizen. They need to be delivered to an authorized firearm retailer and then picked up. With that in mind, I doubt we'll see any firearms come up.

THAT SAID, I am really hoping this means the accessories we've seen pop up time to time (sights, lights, lasers, etc) will be a regular guest on sport.woot.

Some Wilson FG Tour blemish balls.. would be awesome to get at a good price. Actually any balls that arn't schwetty balls or recycled/refurbished would be cool.

I like the wedges.. would be very tempted if there was a 52 degree available.

Perhaps a good deal on some Miura blades .. ok that might be wishing too hard... ignore that one

Several of us here at Woot are scuba divers so we will be looking for great deals in that category. There's not many rocks to climb here in Dallas but we'll be focusing on a fair amount of technical products so rock climbing goodies will likely be in the mix as well.

I'm not sure of the logistics for that sort of thing (but I'm not involved in the logistics at all), but you can expect deals on sights and mounts and cases and stuff.

Fishing...cool! I love to fish!

And don't forget to include stuff for women too...golf clubs,tennis racquets,gut/string/handle wrap/bags, softball/fast pitch gloves, balls,corn hole replacement bags, etc. Women have fun playing sports too!

Where's the option of "seeing the discussion area fill up with pro-threads and beginner tips for all the sporty things our community likes to do"?

That said, if you have been involved in a particular sport (fishing, marathons, etc.) and want to share tips, talk shop with others, or even start something new sport-wise and don't know where to begin, feel free to start those threads!

I'm just hanging out, really.

Initially, I was scratching my head on sport.woot, but then I thought, "I would so totally buy Frisbees if there were some good deals on those."

For those with kids, or those with dogs, or those into Ultimate Frisbee or those that just want to toss around those giant hoola hoop flying discs, I want to see some frisbee / flying discs.



Pretty please.

Duct tape is like the force. It has a light side and a dark side, and binds the universe together.

On the whole variety will be good to cover all of the misc. sports needs that tend to crop up. And while I am in the demonstrable minority here, exercise equipment would be great, especially bike things, e.g. comfy seats etc, and other assorted goodies.

It would be particularly useful if sport.woot wanted to list some discounted and $5 shipping weight lifting equipment, like say a power cage and olympic bar & weight set, sometime in the summer, 2013 time frame where a certain commenter will finally move to a place large enough to accommodate them...

I'd love to see some deals on good running shoes, like the Asics Gel Kayano.

I thought I could vote for more than one thing when i clicked submit. I would have just gone with outdoorsy stuff. Great idea though! I cant wait to see what all comes up on here.

Disc-Golf sets might be something some watchers would be interested in. It's really a low-impact walking/sprinting sport.

Those HD mountable cameras are sport-win for people who are into sunny sports.

I'm looking forward to yoga stuff, maybe Zumba-related DVD's, and maybe some discounted Wii games to add to my meager collection.

Surprised KY Jelly stuff from last Woot-Off wasn't first item in Sport Woot.

Asics Kayanos seconded.

If I could score a deal, I'd consider adding an Aria scale to my Fitbit (which is just the best thing ever).

I'd love to see some baseball equipment offered. Bats and gloves in particular. The quality stuff, even for kids, is crazy expensive, so some deals on those would be super to see.

Cycling components! Woot Plus deals on any sport's individual components would be a big hit; usually people who want to buy are already invested in the main equipment. Make a Woot Plus deal with Shimano, please the fishing fanatics and the cycling junkies in one go!
