*** Meter Hold-time Update ***

  I'm clearly no expert, but I wonder as to the wisdom of placing another piece of timing code into the swing meter.

  But 15 seconds, People hold it there for more than 15 seconds?, and that somehow crashes your system, and you know this is happening? and that is the potential fix.

  I think my tin foil hat just started beeping.

  Kinda like driving on the rims to avoid a flat. But oh well nuff said.

  This anything to do with my cpu going crazy today...I pull straight back and hit normally, but today to try and stop all the meter skips and locks, I've been trying to hold it to calm it down and it just goes worse..

  Everything cleared this morning to no avail.

  Guessing there won't be a confirmation or denial to the question and will be left to try and fix it myself...

  Don't mind doing everything I can my end BUT after every damn update it takes 4/5 days to sort (or till I feel comfortable with meter) again, this games played in the mind as much as the math and reactions.

  Seems like we get 2 weeks of solid play till you start tinkering again..(sigh)

  Yup Andy, they did something for sure. My meter was smooth as butter, now the game is unplayable, very nice, thank you. Tried different flash versions, to no avail. Meter is jumping and freezing, crazy. Will for sure cost them some money from me, with this meter i'm not wasting balls, and i don't see them fixing this for a while. O well.......

  I have never had that much problem with the meter. It smooth more than it isn't for me. I don't do much to my computer either. I just don't get the way out of wack part.

  This is causing me some serious problems, wish I'd seen this thread before as I've been spitting feathers for some hours over this.

  When I've got a wedge approach shot that is less than 100% I use the count the backswing increments to measure distance, this happened a couple of times last night and the shot auto launched (and I cussed A LOT) so I let is swing through, 15 seconds is just not long enough for these shots. Also in those situations it actually slows the game down as I let it swing through and try again, (I think I let one of those shots last night auto swing through 7 or 8 times, luckily I was playing solo).

  Need much more time for wedge shots, suggest 30 seconds at least, or preferably unlimited if you are playing solo.

  Even with the using avatar movements with wedges is should't take over 8 to 10 seconds to complete the swing. Decide how many moves you are going to use before starting your swing and it only takes a few seconds to count those moves. Think ahead not while you are trying to make the swing.
