I've only used the Tiger Woods one. I do think one of the reasons you get dart throwing on this game is that you can set the exact power rather than having to try and click in the right place on the way up and then hit the ding (if that makes sense!).
When I mentioned previous game-engines like the one you are mentioning, was in the sole purpose to debate on the motion-orientation from up dropping down. What you are saying here has nothing to do with my suggestion, since I also like the dynamics of "HAVING TO CLICK ON THE SWEET SPOT" and not an automated pre-dinged meter, which by the way the ezze-starter-clubs do very poorly. I am only suggesting change of position of the meter from horizontal to vertical ... with the same dynamics of our human reaction. Now, here I went further with the idea of the elliptical meter and it would be even better like this, and again ... keeping the releasing momentum at the power selected position and reaction-skilled click on the sweetspot ... But I have no idea if previous game-engine companies have rights over an elliptical presentation of a virtual swing ...
