  Chris any chance you might be playing to fast. I find more problems when I'm playing quick, almost like the game needs time to catch up, if you are try missing the ding more and slow it down. Move the aim er slowly, the spin slowly, hold the meter for a few seconds at the top of your swing as well.

  No, i thought thi smight be a reason as well at first thinking the shot calculator didn't register me changing aim ark because i might be too quick, so now i take my time before moving aim ark to let game catch up, same result.  But yesterday every time except once when i hit ding i got perfect result.  Coincidence today every ready go i enter i score brilliantly, & win every matchplay i enter, yet the last 2 days every dinged shot went astray and i couldn't win players i usualy beat due to strange shots.  Last 2 days seemed there was a losing streak in my game, where as yesterday every thing was normal, i even played a poor round wher i was mising ding on wind side and could do no wrong no matter what hole it was,  Just like the hindrance i was getting last 2 days to stop me scoring & winning and flipped to now giving me helping hand to win everything.  The more i see these happening , the more i'm convinced that rounds are manipulated. Either to be "hot or "cold"

  He has been advised to do that in over a million post ive read and i've yet to see a video just replays. And congressional has been pretty accurate for me the last few days havent had any issues there beside me lipping a few putts.

   

  I tried using Bandicam but meter was so erratic it was unplayable, Sam (bib) recommended to try a different software, which at present is giving me o.k results (apart from odd skip or 2), so before long i might have proof of the pudding

  I have seen so many posts here explaining the unexplainable that I find it hard to believe that you will be able prove anything. There will be an excuse for everything, even if you show a 9 iron going 482 yards, some a-hole will have an explanation.

  Just the same as when Lizard69 posted the video of his punched wedge backing up 14 feet for a 33 yard shot, then posted 3 more showing the usual result, a bunch of a-holes had an explanation.

  I even posted 3 replays using a higher spin ball with FBS applied and could not repeat the result he had.

  Good luck I will be watching and listening, if you have success I'll be next in line.

  Well, this mathcplay round I'm playing, its back to dinged shots flying astray, i even had 2 x easy 5 footputts on  st andy's greens with slight break (hole #3 as example), where i aimed left of cup, dinged both putts but the ball started off RIGHT of cup not left.  AMAZING.  next approach i puropselly missed ding by this much {...........} late, and gues what, 1 yard from hole!!!

  Another READY GO a St Andrews, more dinged shots making shot turn out WORSE not perfect.

  Dinged drive on #9 clearly gets aimed at pin not off the green left where i actually aimed

  Same with this putt, i aimed a cm left of pin, yet it clearly starts off right

  http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=da999ba3-4e05-4fde-ae21-a19e00e234ed

  O.k, here's a shot where my meter skipped yet i still pressed by mistake and was late by this much {..............} expecting a wtf shot, but instead i get a even better shot than i could have dreamed of, It seems when your on a "hot" round you cant do no wrong even when you try, so all we want is when we play GOOD shots to react normally not the other way round, please!

  http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=b958a92a-7a59-415c-a3bc-a19e00e833ed

  With all these goings on, and no reply from wgt, in my opinion just shows that some holes are manipulated to limit scoring or toughen it out for us because there's no excuse for this, YES if i MISS DING deviate shot just like that, but otherwise, stop selling balls at $5 & $6 for us to hit ding when its worthless hitting excellent (ding) either lower ball prices or give us back a perfect ding shot

  Chris, just wondering if you play any non- match play challenge or non ready go games and these same things happen or not? If it always is happening when you have credits on the line, have you tried playing a free Tourney or just picked a course and played a ranked round and see what happens? I would think for empirical evidence, you'd have to play other than credit games as well. If the game plays perfectly every time you play a non-credit round, then you're truly on to something about the credit games.

  I agree with Steve here, don't bother, all of the top players know this it happening. Getting them to admit it, is whole different story, lol. Although some have admitted it on accident,,,, hehe.

  Sure you have cleared you cache?? lmao,,, sorry had to, lol.

  Its not the admitting it part Gerald is what you dont get. Of course rounds are screwed up and shots act crazy. But at the same time after the 55 i hit yesterday on Beth i turned around and shot 54 there today with a par on one and 13 the par 5 2i91epu0pLZMax6VY3pb.htp my point is it happens. But we fight around it and move on to the next shot. There is no reason to complain about it. I dont have many things to complain about besides the 8 iron going 156 full bs in a head wind. So yeah we know its happening but the same names are on the leader boards even with all of the vem and other crap so seems to me something is being done correctly on our ends? Would you beg to differ?

  No sir, would not like to beg to differ. I think you are spot on with your post. BUT, this is a problem, reason same names are on the leader board is because most of the players are about the same skill level, so when WGT decides its your turn to win, then you shoot what you should have and score great. I am sure you can understand that. Not like your competing with hundreds of great players, see what i mean. All good though, i am starting to get the picture, and like you said must take it for what it is, or just leave it.
