  Normally i start fresh browser. And i always control the meter speed. Today its twice fast and zig zagging as it moves...Nothing running i7 laptop 16gb ram.

  So basically i have feeling WGT constantly tinker meter speed irrespective of the course.

  Today my meter is twice speed of my starter ball. I use 2 dot Feel WGT ball , it is twice speed today

  First off , how do you control the meter speed ? Secondly , I have had this problem as well. I play the L33+ Cally balls , and  basically slow meter clubs . Even my putter is faster than it should be . I contacted WGT about it , and they claim that they have no control over the club speeds . So for those who want to say that you are crazy , I can assure you that you are not , nor am I . :-)

  They tinker with something. Today my meter was supersonic.  I control my meter zig zag by closing all browsers and not running any memory hog app and not browsing as i play. Just one browser opened from scratch .Play and close again. You can't just open a browser window when another window exists. You have to close all first. Then nothing opened then open new one for wgt. It works.

  The meter speed changes slightly with the tempo of the song that plays when we open the game client. That song doesn't play at the exact same tempo every day. I've clocked it with a stop watch. On the days it plays a little slower, the meter is a hair slower and smooth as glass. On the days the song is a little faster, the meter is faster and eratic or jumpy. Everybody tries to ignore the song but I take the time to really listen to it every time I play.

  Happens all the time.

  I use the Max balls and speed of them have been a bit quick.

  When this happens, I usually change golf balls to one of my fast speed balls...either Nike or the free game ball.  Then change back the Max's and speed is slow as usual....   saying that, it's heaps slower than the others....lol

  It was significantly faster today for some reason.  I know that the meter uses flash and something has to tell it what to do and how to function.  Just curious if WGT gameclient does that?  I have also noticed a difference in some green speeds especially in tournaments.

  I never paid any attention to the music, as a matter of fact, it is so annoying to listen to that I rarely ever hear it but you can bet I will be doing some timing on it.  

  Lots of things seem to change on a consistent and regular basis anymore, so hard to tell what the game is going to do.

  Speaking of the foil chapeau...        LOL              :-)

   

  Don't make fun. ;)

  I've played the drums for decades and it didn't take long before I noticed a difference in the song tempo from day to day. Simple check of the BPM ( beats per minute) proved it out. I really think WGT is offering up that information to all of us as to how the game will play during that session of the game client but everyone has just ignored it or didn't notice.

  Don't make fun. It's plausible. :)

  Sorry..... I'm not making fun :)      but I think this is a bit too far fetched
