    new meters review:
    tested the new meters.

    vertical - absolutely hated it, I don't think I could ever play it,
    it just wasn't for me.

    3click - kinda liked that one have to say,
    the extra eye hand coordination poses a nice challenge,
    the only thing I didn't like about it was the lack of avatar movements,
    but even more than that is the inability to momentarily hide putting grid
    by clicking the power bar. it's pretty useful to me to hide those dots
    for a second to take a clean look at the surface (a specially from the fringe),
    also when CPU gets chocked up, hiding it for a moment,
    gives it a breather for a smoother putt,
    so if you could make it so the putting grid is hidden while clicking the bar
    (not launching button) it would be great.

    more about 3clk meter, there's no improvement in
    meter, still unreliable , a specially at high speeds (R11+free ball),
    also has a tendency to 'hang' when dinged (could be a processing issue),
    but overall a nice twist, pretty interesting when combined w/ UEL mode
    (which I hope you finalize improvements on soon).

    I don't have any illusions of this killing the ding cheat,
    since programmers will have plenty of time to adapt
    while it's optional, but they will have to get creative lol,
    seems kinda hard to mimic human response on 3 click.

    pretty good update this time,
    still wishing for quality avatars like you used to make,
    with all the nifty little details, but the new features definitely trump that.

    I both the new meters. The new vertical one might be ok once you get used to following it downward. But the 3 click is awful. The meter starts out like it is rocket propelled even with a ball with 2 1/2 dots of feel and slows down about half way through making it very difficult to time it correctly. Both the original and vertical meters are smooth but the 3 click stutters quite a bit. Think I'll just stick with the original.

    Give them both a couple of rounds.  Best advice I can give you on them is to not switch back and forth every other round.  Realistically because of the way the 3 click works we envision more of the lower level players and new players to use the 3 click.  The vertical though I found a lot easier to ding and use after a round or two.  Because your not having to look down at the meter, it does play a little nicer.

       I would have 2 agree with everyone here ,it's like when your riding a bike 4 the 1st time . Hand &  Eye coordination on the swing meter on 3click would have to stay on the click button w/o even moving the meter when we r so use too from start .As for the vertical not in favor .IMHO.
