    OK, so I am bored (really it's just that I'm having a crappy day playing) and since I try EVERYTHING to seek improvement or change for the better, I tried to play with a female avatar (to see if I could trick VEM into not knowing it was me) and after coming up short on a putt that had no elevation to cause it, I thought, "it just isn't my day". Well, 2nd hole I am putting and that's when I NOTICED THE BUG!!! It wasn't ME, it was the PUTTER!!!! This is not a precision or deviation factor, either. Anyone who uses the Level 35 Ghost Spider can try it for themselves (I have a video of both avatars showing the HUGE difference in pull-back increments). A male avatar using the Ghost putter will have the putter move at 6' on the 15ft scale and 10' on the 25ft scale. A female avatar, using same putter will have the putter move at 5' on the 15ft scale and 8' on the 25ft scale. Is this a bug or purposely done? I have been debating on two new putters (tried on free rental days) and one has 5' movement (Nike) and other has 6' movement (Versa) on the lowest scale. I am really used to the 6' increments and am leaning towards the Versa. Now I know I can "get used to 5' increments" using my same old putter. I looked for this in search and found nothing. It's no big deal to me, but it feels good to know I CAN blame WGT for my putting when I'm feeling pretty and want to be a female :)

    PS..I've never taken a "Walk on the wild side", and I don't have a problem with those who do. To each his/her own. I am off to change clothes. Cross-dressing just isn't for me, even though I did have a "baby got back" booty.

    It is all personal as far as putters go but I have the lvl 35 ghost spider and the Nike method 001.  I used the Nike putter for 3 days and i will never get it back out.  I play often and that putter just isn't made for my style.

    The difference in %% of the moves has been known for a long time. AFAIK, it's not limited to a certain putter brand, and it may or may not be present in more or all clubs.

    Ahhh, OK. I called myself doing a search before posting about it. I thought I had me one of them "eureka" moments, and might get rewarded with a sleeve of balls or something. Now I feel foolish for dressing as a female for nothing. :) Jay

    Right from the Putting Tips

    nivlac:

    BONUS TIP:  Male and Female avatars have different ranges and movement numbers on the same putters!  For example, Female avatars using the 30 foot starter putter actually have 6 movements with 5 feet per movement instead of 5 for 6 like the men.  Be sure to watch out for this ladies!
