"Shot-shaping"

  Why is this an attribute on clubs? Are there any clubs anywhere in this game that AREN'T a half-dot of shot shaping? If all of the clubs have the same amount of shot shaping, don't list it as an attribute. If they don't, make the dots representative of the club.
  
  Just a suggestion, helpfully ensconced in the suggestion forum.

  No one wants to chime in? No one else ever wondered about this?

  You can 'shot shape' to a certain extent, but from my own experiences it is easier with the woods than the irons. I have heard that this may be properly introduced in the future (don't quote me on that) but as it currently is, it certainly isn't easy to bend shots, for me at least.

  REPLAY.

  +1 Scott. I've only used shaping voluntarily with driver.

  Concerning the question, I regard this as one of the ideas/concepts which as not been elaborated. Another one is the "reputation" tab for the search of fellow MP players.

  And I don't waste any hope in future changes, developments and ameliorations. We have to play the game now(!)

  The SLDR has the best shot shaping although the stats don't show it.

  Would you like to give us a demonstration of its abilities Courteney?

  The SLDR does exactly what it says, it slides the ball into whatever direction you want. It's very forgiving and will allow the draw and fade of shots.

  I'm so confident with my drives since I've been using it.

  IRL I don't see even TM saying the sliding weight is aimed at any more shaping than keeping it on a consistent line, for the player it has been adjusted for.  Here I have never used  the SLDR, but getting the same half dot as others does not make me excited. The R1 shapes all you need on the very few holes you care about doing it.  All the top level drivers are adequate to see any Legend compete well and get to TL.

  Iron wise I can't see anything other than missing in to the wind to help hold the line is the way to go IMHO.  One day it might be different..Maybe.

  Nope,I'm afraid not. I sold it to afford the R1. Times are tough over here.

  That's rather abrupt Courteney, have you sold your manners too?
