    I read the player suggestion list and this suggestion was not on there.

     

    AUTO DINGER BALL!

     

    Is it not enough that we already have countless other factors that determine the outcome of the shot?

     

    Such as:

     

    -Variable wind speed

    -Club consistency

    -Ball consistency

    -Lie consistency

    -Meter consistency

     

    The meter isn’t consistent. Plain and simple. Have you ever played a blitz game and on a certain hole everyone just happens to hook it in the same exact spot?

     

    And even if it were, there are plenty of complaints about connections, or computer hiccups that affect the meter.

     

    It is terrible to spend your time setting up a shot, only to miss the ding, or even worse hook it miserably and lose a ball during practice mode.

     

    My suggestion:

     

    Sell a ball that auto dings.

     

    This way it wears out and WGT continues to prosper.

    Perhaps different ball types and attributes:

     

    1.Auto dinger and no other attributes

    2.Auto dinger and spin

    3.Auto dinger, spin, and distance

     

    Food For Thought:

     

    There are programs for sale on the internet for auto dinging software.

     

    Why not put those people out of business and make SOME MORE cash of your own?

     

    Everyone I have talked with in game say they would buy into this idea.

     

    Best golf game I have ever played in my 25 year gaming life. But I have stopped playing as of this post. I will check periodically for an auto dinger ball.

     

    I feel like a monkey trying to ding the meter.

    I wouldn't be surprised if this was definitely not possible. Given the fact that WGT have to justify that the game is based on "skill" not "luck", by offering a ball that auto dings everytime, it would give rise to too many players complaining that the ball should've reacted in a different way. It may also infringe the law in certain states / countries as well.

    For instance, you play two rounds and get the same wind both times on the same par 3 tee; you use the auto-ding ball and one lands next to the pin and the other ends up 5yrds away. Everyone would cry foul that "luck" is against them and that WGT have programmed the ball not to work the same way twice (admittedly we get this already but it would become 100 times worse with this type of product).

    There has to be an good element of skill involved in the game and hitting the ding mark is one of the largest factors involved.

    I do sometimes feel that, with my slower reflexs,(a curse of the years), that my assessments of the shot, count for nought, with a missed ding. I do undrstand that in real golf it is very similiar, but wouldn,t i just love to play without the ding, & test my assessments of the shot. Anyone else???

    p.s. Won't stop me playing though, sort of, just for fun games or something...

    You only joined this site10 days ago and you are coming out with a statement about an 'auto ding'. Jeez.....go learn the game first...instead of looking for an easy way to play this.....wouldn't it be great IRL golf if you could have a robot to hit your shot perfectly each time.....no because then it would be boring as hell...if you feel like a monkey there are plenty of other places to hang out....!

    just saying
