Re: Demo Days and Shot shaping

  I have been considering buying new clubs but would like to try them first. I think that Demo days would be a good idea where players can select from clubs in the pro shop and try them for a day or two and then have the option to buy them or not.

  The only other suggestion I had was shot shaping. I end up in alot of spots where I wish I could intentionally slice or hook and dont have this option.

  Also I'd love to see side betting for credits added to the multiplayer games.

   

  Thanks,

  love the idea.

  people have been clamoring for a practice area for a while, and being able to try/rent clubs.  why not set up a little practice area to demo clubs before you buy?  just so you can get used to the swing-speed/forgiveness/etc.?  same thing with putters.  i'm all nervous because i'm getting close to have earned enough credits for my first upgrade, and i don't want to blow it on a club i can't hit!

  There's no dilemma regarding putters, I think. Ping Redwood = hands-down best putter, get it. (Meter speed can be reduced with GI-D balls, if necessary.)

  Really? How? I did not know that.

  Automatically. GI-D balls slow down the meter for all clubs. However, the price is at around $0.50 per 3 balls, and they only last a few 18-hole rounds, so if you play a lot, this might prove costly. I don't play that often, and so using GI-D balls all the time is practicable.
