  WGTpete:

  Sorry everyone, a small power outage in San Francisco has some of us running behind tonight, but here are the release notes for the latest additions to the game...

  http://www.wgt.com/golfnews/archive/2013/09/26/gimme-putts-high-level-putters-and-game-sounds.aspx

  Jeez, 1st time our paths have crossed WGTPete...( for ME at least, Knowingly )

  Gimme putts,  it's a slippery slope imho ??

  What next  ? Pro + ( ranked )    Makes me think my investment into this Site was..????? Suspect @ best, and my investments generally show a return even though I didn't enter onto WGT with that expectation.

  Sorry, haven't got the words....( Well, obviously I have )

  Just completely wrong in every regard and respect !!

  Hi there,  It seems to me like the new pin positions are more accessible than the old ones and make #5 and 6 a bit easier if you re careful.  I don't think anything has changed other than that.

  Thank you for the effort WGT , but I'm afraid, nothing appeals to me, gimmes I feel should be allowed in all alt matches maybe at the hosts discretion and be allowed to be set by the host to whatever distance maybe discussed in the lobby.

  Putter wise, how you can justify the new prices I feel is ridiculous for what you actually gain in dots.

  Once again, Thanks but NO thanks.

  What's new apart from this horrible new surround?

  A ...  $40.00 putter......  :-)

  That's exactly like the Nike putter already out--please don't reply that it has more "precision"--that's just not affecting any putts.

  Its a money grab plain and simple. No way a half of a dot on anything is going to do anything.

  Must admit i was quite shocked at the price. Still really can't believe it,, lol.

  overtheedge:

  That says just one thing. WGT NEEDS money and they are sacrificing the "quality" of this game to get it. With all the new equipment and SUPERMAN golf balls WGT has cut soooooo deep into the bone that any skill it once took to become a good player is now GONE. 

  GONE !!   Wow, I didn't believe the conspiracy theorists....

  How WRONG can you be...I put pure hours in to try to master this game and now......

  Aah well, Live and Learn......1st game I got onto with new and 1st computer 18 months ago...didn't know sites just came and went...such a Pity, had a  great premise WGT !!

  Bee in the bonnet and realise harping on.  I would love to know exactly how accurate the advertised meter speeds are in actual play between these.  

  At these prices it will be a free rental weekend before I find out about the new Nike v my L70 Versa and at can't test the L96 Versa anyway.  Hopefully the advertised meter speeds are accurate.  If any one has taken the plunge please do comment.  $40 is amazing........

  You can rent the club for 600 credits, when u have done that then perhaps ur opinion will have more merit.

  Not going for them LOL....Just intrigued as to advertised meter speeds versus what they may really be.  In theory that L96 Versa should be faster than what I have .....

  EDIT Not intrigued enough to pay the rental charge..........Hopefully all exactly as would expect but versagate made me cynical.  Curiosity more than anything.
