Legend is difficult if you do not have good 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.

  One more thing i notice often is that water holes always had side wind and meter goes friggin fast when its towards water...its another scheme.

  So top end balls in the hands of top players, using top end equipment, with top end skill might perform better than really crap driving range balls in stroke play? Did you also write the book of revelation?

  EDIT: Not trying be rude to you so take it in that light, but sorry don't see your point as a good one!

  Its not about better is the issue. What i am saying is there is a scheme going on to make you upgrade the ball. Fast meter everyone can handle. What people can not handle is  stop and start jerky meter which is WGT induced fault to create revenue ...it only happens low quality balls. may be they try to duplicate real life cheap balls?

  Well aplogies I missed your overall point.  The few times I have played with Srixons (what you have now so assuming that area of quality) I have not see what you are referring to...

  I do not have jerky meter with rock. if i had jerky meter i normally close all browser and keep one instance and it go away. It did not happen with 2 dot feel ball i played with after srixon . Thats when i noticed there is a scheme to make you upgrade. They give you unpleasant experience when u downgrade and make you feel you will be better off with better ball.  People can play with super fast meter as long as it is consistent speed. What people can not handle is jerkey stop and start meter which is clearly not client side machine issue , it is 100% WGT induced random fault for low quality equipment.

   

  When it happens u normally try for 3 practice stroke and hope 4th one do not jerk. Most of the time it won't because its kinda random. It 100% happens first stroke ..best way to play the free or low quality ball is let the first stroke go and try to click second time. Its kinda patch up job.

  I think it is one way evil to introduce fault scheme but world is full of evils. Big always eat small. Its law of nature. 

  Speed meter is ok not jerking meter . it is evil. It is immoral. :) 

  Hahaha.

  Since I started spending a fortune on Balls, after discovering Zong, I have been thru many of them, especially expensive Balls. Recently, I could only buy cheap GIS something or another Balls. ( I far prefer 600Cr Nike. )  Anyway, with the cheap an' nasty stuff, the JERKING started. Millisecond stops. Always before the Ding.

  Recently, I moved back to expensive Nike. A generous gift and one purchase. Anyway, I am experiencing far less millisecond stops  etc.

  I clear cache all the time, ALL THE TIME.

  It's not a cache thing.

  Really only necessary to clear cache when you: have issues; rent or buy new equipment; a maintenance update has taken place.

  There are necessary items used in game loading that are stored in your cache. When you clear them, they will need to be replaced.  Causes me a bit of loading issues for the first period right after clearing.        

  right, and there have been 2 or 3 updates this month.  might be it.  when changing gear that effects meter speed, courtney's convinced me it's never a bad idea :)
