Question on Ball Roll

  I'm using Callaway Tour iz L39+ so not top of the line by any standards, but still, I find it a bit annoying how on the fairway the ball will come to a sudden stop.  I realize you can't get 100% accuracy on a game, but it just seems like balls should be rolling a bit.  Even when rolling downhill, they stop rather quickly.  It's not effecting my long game too much, but it is a bit annoying.  Does anyone else find that the roll is pretty unrealistic?

  Thanks for the feedback, KentVadimony

  I haven't noticed anything too unrealistic as far as the ball roll goes, but I will make sure your feedback is heard by WGT :)

  The only time i've noticed that the ball keeps on rolling on the fairway is if it's heading towards the rough :)

  The roll of the ball is affected by many things. I play for carry rather than roll and use full B/S on most of my drives. But if I want more roll I will use top spin. And many of the undulating fairways makes the roll of the ball do some strange things. Strange but not unrealistic. Even in real life i have seen drives hit the fairway bounce one time and come to a sudden stop. It is just how and where they land.

  I think it's all psychological but I notice this too.  Still, some of the things that happen on WGT just seem a little too quirky.
