  You need to set the aim point, set the correct distance, and hit the ding (or nearly hit the ding). Then you live with the induced variation. If the meter keeps getting slowed down then the ding variable may as well be removed. 

       Ummm, if you're talking about the GI3-S balls, I have no issues with them having any more induced variation than other 500-600 credit balls if ding is missed. That's why I still use them. Well that and the fact I can't get the darn added distances they give the higher up balls and still after over a year of asking......I still can not get correct help in assessing those added distance balls nor figure it out lol.  If you're speaking of the MAX balls, then yeah, they do induce variation when ding is missed I agree and that's one reason I don't like them either. 

  P.S..  I'm only asking for a few dots more of slowness that WGT has already introduced to the game. Not more...just a fair shake to the WGT balls is all I'm asking for bud.

  Well if they do, I'll quit buying the Nike's

     LOL  would be nice, no doubt about it. I'd even pay the 450-500 credits for them. Any response from the powers that be?????????????????

       I would like to see the regular WGT balls ( like the GI3-S that I use) get some upgrading. No added distance or spin please....just add some feeling to slow the meter down for those of us who still use WGT balls. Like 4 even 5 dots would be just awesome WGT!

      A reply from WGT or its mods would be fantastic. Thanks

  You might have got a reply from Wgt and not know about it....lol

  Have you checked all the golf balls.....  I'm just saying,  the Max's I'm using have got the same specs as the Callaway (Z) balls but with the 5 dots for slow meter speed.... I should say they had a slow meter speed, they are just about the same speed as the Nikes I once used.....lol

  I think the Max  balls are on steroids at the moment, as are the "slow meter" callys so a 4 dot WGT ball will probably be only marginally slower then Usain Bolt anyway.

  Edit - I am not implying any inference between steriods and Usain Bolt for the record.

  Lots of editing going on....lol

  I agree and I've sent 2 in-game Bug reports to Wgt telling them this problem with the meter speeds.

  Maybe they can fix this Prob at the next Outage :)

  mavallarino:

  How about when in the middle of a round and you finish a type of premium ball the system allows you to choose another ball that you possess without automatically forcing you to use the default wgt ball? Furthermore having the ability to change balls when putting - like every golfer does. 

  Realistically a golfer has many balls of different types in his/her bag, so why not here?  

   

  You sir, are incorrect.

   

  In actual fact it is against the rules of golf to use two DIFFERENT TYPES OF BALL, in the same round, we golfers on WGT actually benefit from the fact they give us the 'unlimited' balls, in a real life tournament you would be disqualified! 

   

  (obviously social golfers can use whatever balls they like, but in official tournaments, na-uh!)

       Thanks for the reply but I'm after a ball with NO added distance as I am "extra distance ball challenged", a touch of spin (like the current GI3-s I use) but with slower meter (like the max balls you describe).  

       Heck, if  WGT could just do a 4 - 5 dot feel upgrade to their already existing choices of WGT brand balls, I think they'd have another money maker right there :)

           WGT??????

  Your coveted answer might be "We put it on the list" or "We notice our developpers", if any.

  You ARE actually allowed to change the ball in any form of golf if it is lost [obviously] or damaged/ cut provide you inform your opponent or a felow competitor. I think andrewmca has the same complaint as I do. Example I hve 2 Nike balls and 3 Srixon balls in my inventory. I lose the 2 Nikes and I'm switched by default to the stock/ standard ball, not my Srixon. Annoys the hell out of me!
