I have been aware of this cheat program/shot calculator for some time & now it seems quite a few players are using it now. I just played in an alt shot game where a player hit 4 consecutive Heartbeat shots from various trouble situations using all starter gear with a wgt free ball.
I've been on here a long time and I know the chances of that happening are like 1,000,000 to 1
I've also seen situations where its all good a fair game, when on hole 7 all square, a player starts using the calculator to hit heartbeat shots when he hasn't hit one HB shot all game previously using low level gear & often a wgt free ball).
What a shame. the game is enough of a challenge to beat very good honest players without having to suffer straight up cheaters.
I mean if a player has top level gear, a Titleist ball and tons of apparel bonus & skill . . you can pretty much forget about beating that player in a game. We all know the $10 balls and level 99 Irons have magical "powers" . . . that being said . .
I have really noticed a marked increase in the numbers of what I believe to be program runners in the last couple of months.
Even in players I have played with for years and know they were previously only mediocre players. but NOW they are WGT savants. Right.
I would also mention that apparel bonus affects in a negative way the play of players who have little or no apparel bonus in their bag. affecting length of approach shots and also especially the amount of break on greens when putting. i.e. the putt break does not even come close to what was shown by the dots on green.
I notice this especially when an opposing player has all or most) Level 10 apparel bonus items in his bag. (and usually high level gear as well.
Just my observations.
