Im seriously considering throwing in the towel where this games concerned...
Sammy, before doing anything so drastic, try this little "technique" I sometimes use...
Before an actual ranked stroke-play round - play a few practice, CTTH, or Blitz rounds using the free unlimited ball. The meter will be very, very fast. Then, when you go back to using your meter-slowing "feel" ball, the meter will seem to be that much slower, hence more manageable.
Keep in mind, however, that while using the free ball, the distance and spin attributes will be less, as well as the feel.
I find that using the free ball from time to time equates to using a weighted "donut" on a baseball bat while in the on-deck circle before stepping-up to the plate - the conditioned "muscle" (in this instance) being the one above the neck, as opposed to those below it. ;)
After using this reflex-sharpening technique, just be sure to let your first couple swings with the "feel ball" on the first tee swing through, so as to get the timing right and not to hit the ball too early.
Good Luck.
