    The new features that arrived with this update.


    Two New Meters - We’ve introduced 2 new Experimental WGT Swing Meter options for players to try out and provide early feedback.


    From the “Equip Clubs” screen, you can choose from the 3 available swing meters:


    • Original - the horizontal swing meter that players currently use
    • Vertical - a vertical design in the center of the screen that may be easier for newer players
    • 3-Click - a little nostalgia for long-time golf gamers, less power control but better swing tempo

    The new swing meters are experiments awaiting feedback on what players like and don’t like. Changing the WGT Swing Meter is purely optional and free. And note that like clubs and balls, swing meters must be selected before a round and cannot be changed during a round.


    We have been playing around with the new swing meters the past few of days and I am quite impressed.  They are quite a change from the original but we have come to find I like them a lot.  We recommend you play these in practice rounds exclusively until you are comfortable with them.  These are experimental, so any feedback that players have, is greatly appreciated.  As the feedback starts coming in some tweaks may be made. 


    Also,


    Limited Edition Black R1 Driver – The latest driver from Taylormade.  It looks as nice in person as it does online.  The new Black R1 Driver has a level requirement of L93, while the White version is L98.  The lower level version of the driver will still be the same with a requirement level of 11 and 48.


    Country club improvements - Merion full course and CTTH now available, Single Round CTTH tournaments, Tiered tournaments.  Players have been asking for these upgrades and they are finally here.


    New branded tournaments starting in July – More information to come about these tournaments in the coming days.  But from what I have seen so far they should be a lot of fun.

     

    I hope everyone enjoys the new changes and if you have any questions please feel free to contact us.

    Ok, some nice options here, however when I select either of the new meters I loose all my options on the game play screen, ie friends, options chat etc.

    Also when i tried to submit a bug report, i could select the type of issue but not type in either of the boxes. And yes i have cleared flash and browser etc.

    This is using Chrome btw. Ok just tried explorer and is good, so only with chrome there is a problem?

    Any one else?

    The notice "ORIGINAL" over the meter is disturbing and affects the gameplay. It's not original any more with it, so please remove it or put it somewhere else?

    The L93 Driver is the same as the L98 R1....  is the specs a typo or is it the way it is

     

    Edit.... If they are the same..... I don't think I like this idea....lol

    Taylormade put the Black R1 out as a limited edition so we are doing the same.  Because of this we lowered the level to 93 to give more players the ability to play the club.

    I just tried playing after switching meters and didn't see any of the issues you are.  I am using Firefox though so will check with chrome later today.
