  Can somebody from WGT please respond to this? In a nutshell, my game has gone to hell. Im hitting shots in low winds that are dropping way too short, by as much as 50-60 yrds,  and other shots over shooting by as much as 70 yrds. And its got nothing to do with landing on bumps and hills on the courses. I am checking every single shot im taking because of this, and know im using the correct clubs. My best for 18 holes is a 60, so im not a crap player. It has to be something wrong on your end. Im at the end of my rope here, so need you guys to look into it. Cheers.

  I watched your 2 replays and basically you are not hitting the right shots.

  Your 200 club shot, was wrong, you have 199 left and 4pm wind, hitting full bs, you obviously was 20 yards short, it landed into hill and came down. Normal reply.

  Next time hit that full bs shot with 210-215 power and it will be fine.

  The STA #2 shot, you were basically 3 yards short... Again, not enough club

  I know why too: you are using callaway balls which provide superior backspin, thus fly higher. So, wind interacts more with it (in comparison to wgt balls), so you are coming up short

  Adjust your play and add 5 yards for every 100 or so and you should be fine. Also pay attention to STA, it can have wicked winds, so aim accordingly

  good luck

  Thanks for replying Icon, but when you hit a full 50 wedge for a shot 48yrds away with little wind, you would expect that shot to travel nearly that distance, not 25yrds. Those replays are not what im talking about. True, I hear what your saying about the balls and the loft, but what im on about is so obviously wrong, its unbelievable. Im going to leave it at that, and when it happens again, i will save it to show you what im talking about. Thanks Icon.

  To be honest, I never seen 50 wedge go 25 in any wind. Only time that will happen if you miss ding by 1-2 boxes and into heavy wind.

  Next time this happens, please save replay and then right click on the window and submit detailed bug report (like what you hit/what u expected/did you wind, spin used, etc). Then comment on my profile and I'll check it out
