I would sure hope they got this fixed, totally unrealistic.
Just in general i think this hitting of the Flagstick is not very accurate anyway.
there is a difference on bounce back depending of how high on the stick the ball hits.
a Low Hit should be more solid but a higher hit should allways have a dampening effect on the bounce back because the stick will flex much more as further away from its ancoring the contact is made.
WTG Flagstick hits do not reflect this well enough.
Oh well thats what the beta stans for.
Happy Golfing everyone
