    What is "equipment benefits"? I saw this option on my equipment screen but couldn't figure out what it does.

    I thought it might have something to do with the Putter Pal, which I desperately want to turn off, but that did not help.

    Please find below immediate edit of flame post:

    Aha, now I see it just shows the specifications of the equipment in my bag. So I still don't know how to turn off the Putter Pal.

    I think Icon mentioned to email WGT and they removed it, but not refund credits.

    LOL-I'll bet there's a few that would pay to have it shut off.  :-D

    not at all. but I figured if you really hate it and must get it off, I could ask engineers to doit for you.

    but, as a fellow cynic, I approve of your train of thought :)

    Thanks, Icon. Don't bother. Thanks to Putter Pal I'm quickly jogging through the 100 putts needed to get rid of my 100-putt Putter Pal.

    When you are looking at buying new clubs or equipment, I understand the benefits chart for spin, distance, forgiveness etc.... but what does "precision" mean? Is it that you have to be more precise to hit the "ding"? Not sure what it is.... Anyone?

    More precise clubs will tend to spray the ball less. Your shot is more likely to go where you hit it.

    Precision basically means the ability to hit consistently close to the target you are aiming for. The higher the precision, the closer you can get, on average. WGT explains it as a kind of circle which forms around the spot where your shot would be expected to land, once you figure in the distance, wind, etc., whether you hit the ding or early or late, and so on. Within that imaginary circle, your ball will land somewhere, within random variations. The more precise clubs simply have a smaller circle, so the ball is more likely to land where you aimed, factoring in also your execution of the shot.

    The most precise irons, for example, can reliably be landed within about 2 yards of the hole on a typical approach shot, if the shot is planned and executed correctly = 1-putt range. Some of the less precise irons may land more consistently within 2-putt range.

    P.S. I see that while I was drafting my treatise Yankee Jim just went on and answered your question.

    Zag-There was a post a long while ago that had that circle illustrated. I gave up trying to find it. Do you remember it?

    Just the concept - not the location.
