Re: Upgraded golf balls

  I'm a level 92 Tour Master and been playing for about 8 months, 95% of that time with the standard ball. I've purchased 2 different types of Callaway balls and although the meter is slower (which I don't need), it's impossible to stop the swing meter on the line. It delays and everything goes right, way right. Sometimes it doesn't even stop at all and I whiff. I have upgraded clubs and play on iPad Air. Every other player that I play stripes it right down the middle. Can somebody shed some light on why this is happening?

  Thanks

  I was having the same problem, but I use a laptop. I changed browsers and the meter behaves better. I don't know if the comparison works with your I-pad.

  I am very doubtful it's the balls. I've played Callaway most of my 4 years on here and never had a problem with them.

  I also play on an iPad Air 2. I've had very good success with the Callaways (L33+), which are very similar to the L43+. Every once in a while, I'll experience a small glitch with the meter. But it's very rare. 
  
  One of the things I've noticed is the the Air responds better to a light touch rather than a harder touch. Also, if you slide your finger any amount, it won't register immediately and will result in a miss well past the ding. I find that I have to touch the screen with my fingertip in a straight downward motion.
  
  I hope that makes sense. 
  
  By the way, the ball that works best for me are the Nike L71 or Nike L81 balls. But they're a bit pricey, and I don't score significantly better.
