Just played a game against a "lady", 30 second shot timer and she took 30 seconds on each shot no matter how difficult or easy it was. The clock also went down to 00 but yet she was never penalised, I let my clock run down and immediately got a warning. If people are going to use these programmes and you don't want to play them you should be allowed to end the game without penalty. I asked her to mutually end the game and she refused. I don't really care about the cheats on here as I am not good enough to compete with them but I also don't want to play with them and waste my time.
I don't think any programs allow people to shoot that quickly. From what I've read in the forums (and the vids that were posted), programs like the ones that slow down the meter work much slower than that. On that video it took 30+ secs just for the meter to reach ding from the time of release, now add the time to line up the shot, etc. and you'll get to 60+ secs.
I can tell you that you'd probably think the same if you played a round with me. All my shots take around 25 secs (if I don't chat with friends). That's basically the amount of time I need to zoom in my shot, move the marker, zoom back, pick the club, set the power and ding (on a good day ;-)). I take the same time on the green, load the reverse view, check it (quickly), go back to front view, set the power and click on the spot on the meter I estimate to be the correct one for the given severity of break. Of course, it would take me longer if I was moving the marker when I putt, but I almost never do (only on a very steep slope, but even then it only takes me around 5 secs more, cause I really don't know what I'm doing and it's just a guessing game on my part).
So I basically use the same amount of time on almost every shot. I would like to believe that wouldn't make people think I cheat ;-)
