Romax:
WTG all the whiners who can't master the shot and don't think it's nice for those of us that have to actually use it. Now with all the bitching at WGT to fix something that wasn't even broken, they have the rest of the approach shots all screwed up too.Congratulations! In an effort to piss off a small minority of "chip masters" you now have a vast majority of the community upset. Well done---good job--keep up the good work ! Romax
A few observations on the above quote:
1) Why did you have to use the chip? No one is forcing you. But if you're using it for another reason, i.e. because you can't putt, then that's a different matter altogether.
2) I don't think I've ever seen a thread where someone has complained about spin when using wedges on greens or asked for it to be changed. I believe this is something WGT felt would make it more realistic and was their idea.
3) One or two people have said they felt their approach shots are now playing differently to before the update. I wouldn't call that the majority.
01Geezer: Tell Jack or Phil; what Club or the amount of spin they can use on a green
And to answer the above quote from an earlier post, as good as they may be, I don't think even they have total control of how much spin they put on the ball. But what they do is understand how the ball will react when hitting the ground and so know how hard to hit the ball.
