Dave, Yeah, I think Arnie suggested the pressure I probably got with the bicycle pump...about 40 pounds or slightly more. That's not very much. Some years ago, I used to pump up my "English bike" tires (the skinny ones) to almost 80 pounds with it. That took more effort. :-) The "fat bicycle tires" of that day only needed about 30 pounds. Don't think I ever pumped up any over 100 pounds...that would really be a hard tire.
Speaking of pumps...I occasionally play with a senior who winter's over in FL. While there, one of his friends gave him some clubs with "inflatable shafts." The friend claimed the flex could be stiffened by pumping up the shaft. Think he was using a 70 pound pressure in his fairway woods. He hit them quite well.
