I see your point but hear me out, I probably wasn't as clear as I should've been. Something to consider is this idea proposes a reverse in swing meter speeds, but not an exact reversal. This would just be a progression from fastest to slowest, but not necessarily exactly the same as it is now. I also understand that the current system is intended to emulate real life swing speeds. I'm just throwin' out ideas that have been rather successful elsewhere. The main purpose behind this idea is to progress to a point where as a pro, you have a very precise swing. Real life Pros make good contact most of the time. Amateurs do not. A reverse would reflect that more accurately.
Pair the faster meters with the largest forgiveness zones and lowest precisions. True, this results in clubs that new players will find hard to hit the mark, but ultimately they won't suffer much due to the high forgiveness zones. In other words only the worst of the worst mishits would be severely penalized. You might not hit the mark a lot, but the ball would still be generally be going in the right direction otherwise.
Pair the slower meters with smallest forgiveness zones and highest precisions. Now you have clubs that may be easier to hit to the mark on, but even the slighest mishits will be off target. The challenge is still there for players like yourself because missing isn't really an option anymore due to the small forgiveness zone. I don't believe this would necessarily make the game any easier for us because of that. We all miss and when we do, we'll be penalized for it with an errant shot.
When you combine all these factors together, I think you'd end up with
similiar results to what we see now. We just get there a little
differently. I think it's practical, but you could surely make a case for either system.
Also, from a buyers standpoint I need to see more tangible enhancements with club upgrades than just a pretty graphic and a few dots on the chart. I don't think the average golfer will directly see the effects of precision or forgiveness. You can kind of see the effect on the spin, but you REALLY notice the swing speed. To some, this may appear as a downgrade because apart from a distance increase, meter speed is the most obvious change. The ability to buy a slower meter is a very tangible upgrade. When people get their new clubs they will clearly see the advantages to what they've bought over what they had previously. I think they'd move more units because upgrading clubs would appear quite appealing to any player looking to sharpen their game. You'd certainly have a lot less people scratching their heads, bagging their non-refundable Pings and coming to the forums to make their first ever post about how their new clubs suck.
