Re: Green Moving Ball contact Line

  Ive been playing this game for years and have gotten no better. Not because Im no good but because the contact point on the club is so unbelievably hard to find. The moving green line is much harder than in real life. I really dont see much point in it and would submit that the release point is the last step for hitting the ball and just eliminate the green line and a need for a "click" and timing for release. Or maybe just slow it down. I see the option is there. Its almost  like admitting the meter is to fast. Sensitivities are hard to judge as well. When the meter rads 0-150, you draw the club back a third of the way for a 30 ft shot to the hole and it goes 52 ft before landing and rolling another 33 ft  feet right across the green into the weeds. How is that real life?

  You've played 24 ranked rounds since May of 2013.  Do you really expect to be any good with that little amount of practice?  You play an average of about 1 ranked round every 7 weeks..    

  You also made a comment that :

  I'm not sure what type of shot you are referring to with this comment.  But the specs on the starter equipment aren't very good.  You won't stop a starter ball with starter equipment just where you want  without PRACTICE.

  Actually, I think it represents real life perfectly, as I doubt you could do that well in real life, playing that often.  

  Either be willing to learn the game, and put in time to improve, or quit complaining about it.  Of course, you could always go play something else.

  Just a suggestion.

  Do you, really?!

   Try one of these, it's a good starting point in the learning process -

  Are you kidding ? You have an account that is 3 years old . Your post is longer than your activity page and you have only played 2 ranked rounds since July . You neither practice or play and have the nerve to complain about a game that you dont play .  Go back to doing whatever it is that you do outside of the game as its evident that you dont like it here . But dont blame WGT because you dont play the game enough to know how it plays .
