  Hi,, I've asked for money I have paid for equipment returned and informed WGT I intend to cancel my membership.

  With the new 3 click meter my game has become destroyed At the level of Master, i am worse than when I started.

  To attempt to learn the new meter it would require starting from the beginning, even than it would be tolerable. It is unfortunate but all the fun is gone, Probably for the best, I was spending too much time here, when it was fun. :) Thx WGT.

  I played LinksLS for many years with a 3 click meter.  When I started playing here this past June, I couldn't get used to the original meter, and I was on the verge of quitting after a couple of weeks because it just wasn't fun for me.  When one day by chance I saw the other meter choices in the equipment section.  Don't know when they started, but I tried them, and found the 3 click meter to be very similar to the one I had used for so many years.  I quickly became a much better player using it.  It was smooth, and traveled the same speed throughout, which is crucial for trying to hit the proper distance AND the ding in the same swing.  I have since invested quite a bit of money on equipment, clubs, and balls. Tried a couple of country clubs out.  For them to completly change the most important part of the game without any warning, is totally unbelievable to me.  I now feel like I totally wasted my money, and don't believe I want to give them anymore if this is going to be the norm.  I tried all day yesterday to get used to it, but it is almost impossible.  I feel for anybody that had an important tournament they needed to play in yesterday if they used the 3 click.  I only found out the meter had been changed after I wasted 100 credits getting in a tourney in my cc.  I gave up after 3 holes. It was ridicilous.  I've worked hard to get my average down to 64 as a Master, trying to move up to TM.  When there are so many problems in this game that need to be worked out, why in the world are they messing with something that was working fine?  I cannot play now without ruining my average.  If the old meter isn't returned within a couple of weeks, I'm done.  Trying to hit 2 critical impacts in the same swing while it changes speed twice DOES NOT WORK!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Thanks WGT!

  Hello WGT. This is my first post here, and sorry for my English.

  Very bad decision IMHO to change the 3-click meter with a worse variant than the default meter.

  Too drastic change. Please pay attention to this. Gameplay is substantially degraded for every player who chose that meter since the day of its modification.

  Please consider to roll back (temporally at least) to the previous version while you mind some better upgrade for it (if you think that it deserves someone).

  For me, you may keep the avatar animation.

  Besides the topic, thank you for these beautiful graphics and great game. I hope that you always look for excellence and continuous game enhancement and player/customer satisfaction.

  Regards,

  Rolando.

  Ditch the 3 click meter, WGT.  I hate it.  When I putt, I like to add or subtract a bit off the meter at the last second when putting.  Why?  Because experience tells me to do so.  Also, instead of manually pulling back to set the power on my meter when it comes to my approach shot, you guys are doing it for me.  I have to "hit the ding" again??  You want me to guess on the yardage?  With the 3 click meter, control is taken away from me. Couldn't stand it.  I will never try it again.  I need that feeling of control when I golf on WGT.  The 3 click meter takes that away from me.

  You dont have to use the 3 click meter, go to club inventory and select the original, nobodies forcing you, unless your playing in the Cabo 3 click tournament.

  +1 and thanks for being objective.

  Personally I don't like it, nor use it, so it is of no concern for me. Yes it excludes me from any tournys using it but I applaud WGT for trying to be innovative in new tournament formats.

  As for players like RTyler - do you actually have brains or do you just pretend to be an idiots? (yes I know this was a while back).

  It is called choice.

    Answer to all ,the best is remove it IMHO .Does not do justice at all being with all the updates that is being affecting all of us ,which I / don't see to our benefit within the game which is making it impossible ,just a P.O.V.

      So ,for all will agree ,but this is where when we ask for we pay 4 it & regret that we should deal with it ,again IMHO ,

                  Consider to E1 that ask be prepare to pay the piper .

  I like this 3 click meter..Having medical issues,that has severe shakes, this meter has made my game more,not easier but less  eventful..If you have no concept of a  nervous disorder,just  moving  mouse can be a trick alone some days.. RonCarr
