The boost takes some fun off the game.. I enjoy the time the ball flies when I get a good shot and keep wondering for a couple of seconds where it will go when I miss the ding( I still have hopes after so many games that I was wrong in my wind calculations). Makes shots look ridiculous. I spent a few games trying to get rid of it the two times I have been gifted it... and now I have another. Like putter pal, I will turn it off.. Can't understand why some use it in alternate and less with a trail ball.
