  What if WGT were to offer " Better Clubs "  in the pro shop with the EZ swing option ?

  I understand that some players would look at this as a AutoDinger cheat and use it for profit .

  But I also think that there are more players like MPStrasser who just want to enjoy the Game and the Friendships that go with it .

  I am sure we would all be happy to help those with issues that there but for the grace of god go we.

  Assuming possible,  I would be happy to see reasonable standard clubs with huge forgiveness available only to people with registered dexterity issues.  

  Problem of course is that the sandbagging / multi scum that pollute our oxygen, would not think twice about stealing a childrens in need Cmas box.  Those slime balls would abuse this if they could.   

  With the latter in mind a compromise might be that the use of these clubs disallows any form of credit play, unless it's MPC / Skins credit against fellow users.

  Thanks for the suggestion but it isn't a question of mouse design, it's reaction time that a bigger sweet spot allows.

  What about thru the verification process, you make a ball available with a 4 or 4.5 meter speed.  We'd have to fax a form you designed by our Doctor after they signed it??

  And how does WGT verify the signature is the actual signature of a real doctor?

  "Hey, doc. Want to make an extra $50 today? Sign this form for me."

  " I know I'm not disabled doc. It's just for an free online golf game. No big deal."

  I have a relative with severe dementia. Her neurologist produced a note explaining her condition and limitations. The letter's on the doctors stationary with his office's phone number to contact him.

  There's  difference between someone with disabilities who enjoys playing the game and making friends versus someone taking advantage of the system. If a player requests the handicap option suddenly starts shooting sub 60 rounds and wins tourneys, wouldn't it be easy to track that person?

  i'VE GOT IT! Instead of getting into a programmatic nightmare, what about making a 5.5 ball? Then after verifying that they are indeed handicapped, with a form their doctor fills out, that even the DMV accepts for handicapped license plates, they would then be allowed to buy the balls which should be functionality that WGT already has!  Thoughts?
