Legend is difficult if you do not have good ball.

  Duffer,

  No one have problem with meter speed. So that is not the issue. What people have issue is jerky meter. My conclusion is that it is WGT induced random fault mechanism for lower quality balls.

  i hear ya alex - all i'm saying - and prob wrongly - is that two balls have 2 diff meter speeds, so your fighting the effects of going back and forth between ball speeds.  not you having problems - the computer/memory/whatnots

  Most people (99%) having meter problem have no issue with meter speed. Its stop and start before white line which make u click early or anticipate...

  We click by guessing speed ..anticipate when it is over white line. When it stop and start you can not guess correctly.

  I think nike ball owners(rich people) unaware and oblivious to poor people (cheaper ball owners)  meter problems. Hahaha

  ITS NOT METER SPEED.

  I hear exactly what your saying Alex m8, just the other day I was using my last level 70 nike ball and lost it in a water hazard, finished the round with a free rock, and yes, the rock had  a surprisingly very smooth meter, fast , I agree , but very smooth and was quite manageable.

  Whereas at times , even the high end nikes seem to stutter just before the ding line causing missed dings.

  I hear ya on the meter speed.  I do use Nikes and they can seem to dart late sometimes same as any ball though. I do not think it's a water thing, and I sometimes scratch my head wondering was that me or did it really.  I honestly do not think it happens just with lower / mid range balls........

  The Best Way to Settle all The Arguements about Ball Meter Speeds is To Just Scrap The Damn Meters For all Swings except Putting, and Introduce The TrueSwing System it Would be Like Real Life Ball Hitting, Play a Bad shot of the T, no Arguements its your own Fault,  

  And W.GT Could Still Sell The Same Balls as they do Now People Would Continue to Buy Their Favourite Ball.

  I normally play with rock in alt game as legend. Was managing pretty good. Not worky in stroke play. Mainly if you hit bad shot , tough to recover and you will get punished badly in stroke play for bad shot. You probably have to quit often or your avg balloon to 80

  I think all this solved by getting 3 dot feel ball and spin ball.

  So basically legend tier is more of WGT donation scheme.

  Also if you notice it , WGT always jerk your meter if they think you need to upgrade your ball. I think there is some scam scheme going on to increase the revenue of WGT.

  I think its always middle class (average legends) pay the bill. ( rich (top tier TL) escapes and people use rock escapes. Anyone work to improve has to pay the bill forever...never ends..

  Like everything is a lifeform. Software is a virtual lifeform. Once its created , it needs to be maintained or it gets bloated or become obsolete.

  Same way here ..once you buy the good ball , you always have to buy the ball , if you do not do WGT ensure you will not have fun anymore with INDUCED jerking .

  They do not jerk ROCK (starter ball) , they only jerking other balls so you upgrade. It was interesting that i noticed this behaviour. I played with rock in alt game with one browser instance for last 2 years no jerking. Now i started to get feel ball , it jerks then and there , random.

  Its WGT revenue scheme i think. 

  Anyways i am just sharing what i thought that is happening here. Have fun.

   

  Yeah, bummer for you. pfftt

  LOL, could you define "rich" players with the better balls....my nephew plays with $5.50 balls and his mother is always complaining that he won't keep his room clean or help around the house....he does have like 11,000 credits but his car is a piece of sh!t....
