WGT: Please explain something to me. About a week ago, I switched from purchased balls in the pro shop to using the free balls. My reason behind this is that I have been playing tons of matches by myself, getting near the green, making practice chips or pitches onto the green and knocking the ball back off again, just to do it over. I didn't see much sense in using extra distance / extra spin balls up at 52 cents a sleeve to do so.
Although my short game has gotten better by doing this, I noticed something last night that made me pretty unhappy.
Almost every evening, a friend of mine invites me to play a game or two with him and I do so for fun. My game this past week has gotten worse (when i play with him) than it's been in a long time. I haven't been able to control the meter at all. I had gotten to where hitting near the "excellent" mark was almost natural to me WITH the purchased balls. Now, i struggle even on the easiest 5' putt. Not to mention trying to hit a Master G10 driver.
It had never occurred to me until last night when I re-equipped my purchased balls what my problem had been.
As you imagine though, now my game has suffered even further, I have to get used to the new meter speed again of the purchased balls.
The balls I always purchase are:
3 Pack of WGT Tour-S Balls (Red)
52 credits
These balls will give you increased spin and distance (only for Pro+).
2 marks of spin.
1 mark of distance.
0 marks of feel.
1.5 marks of durability.
Where does that say ANYTHING about meter speed? It doesn't at all. Had I know it affected meter speed in the first place, I'd have have chosen another balls to purchase..
Now, I realize this could be a simple mistake on WGT's end.
1. Maybe they are marked wrong?
2. Maybe it's a programming error?
I know this will sound rude however I say it so, I'll just get it over with.
I also must ask myself if this was a money making ploy by WGT to make me feel like I "needed" those balls because it totally screwed me up all over the course without them.
WGT: If you don't think there's a difference in the meter speed, I challenge you to actually go,look and test. Trust me, there is. I have cleared caches, so on and so on.
Do i feel ripped off ? In a sense, yes I do. I got good use from the balls BUT they are not what was intended to be purchased from the desription.
Other members: Please don't make this a flame fest, let WGT answer/find their problem at will. There's no sense in arguing about anything here.
Thanks WGT!
