Major Issues Putting on Green with Meter And sometimes other clubs

  In the last couple weeks, I have found that more than not, when I am on the green, I swing, and then I can't move the mouse cursor, it just jumps and hesitates. Usually just on the green. During other hits with irons and woods, sometimes I will click and it won't register the click until way after I clicked it. I don't mind getting beat in golf because of my own issues, but when the software is the culprit, it is very frustrating. Now really, you all are going to go, use this browser, or use this browser, or use this browser. I have used them all, and they all have issues. The main issue  being, FLASH has way to many issues to make this game consistently work well with all peoples, browsers, operating systems, etc.  FIX it people! I want to be the one who fails, not the software!

  You're right that Flash isn't very stable and consistent but most of the problems will be at your end. I'd advise trying a different browser and to keep your PC clean and smooth running. Regular cache clearing and use of a game booster can help too.

  The jumpy meter might become better after a few shots with a different ball.

  Delayed reaction points to the well-known "Chrome and Pepperflash" issue, maybe caused by a Chrome/Flash update. Search for solutions or change browser.

  Best of luck!

  Apparently  it's all our fault. We need to spend hours, days, and even months to get our computers working right with WGT.

  Good luck trying. If you get there, let us know how please!

  Lots of people have no meter problems. Some people just prefer to moan than ask advice.

  I have similar problems with my meter and it seems to be more on the green than anywhere else.  I get meter glitches every so often with other clubs.  But, my putter always seems to be a bit twitchy

  All my clubs are 3 - 3.5 meter speed except my putter and it is a 5

  I rented the lvl84 rossa ghost yesterday and I must say my meters ran way better.

  Maybe it is just me too.  But, it seemed to help a lot having all the meters in the 3 - 3.5 range.

  Everything was running smooth for me until about a week ago.  Then out of the blue I go to play and the meter is shuttering, the ball travel on the greens and in the air shutters and I can see a delay in the loading.  I checked my internet speed and it is normal 30mb.  I troubleshoot  with WGT and did and checked everything they said I should do.  nothing is working the problem has not gotten any better.  The only thing I think happened is WGT updated and now I and others I am sure are having problems.  I even tried playing on a new updated computer I just got and I still have the same problem.  Any advice?

  It's best to use a bigger scale for putts. If you have a putter where the first scale is 15 feet and you find that you need to hit the ball that hard, then don't pull the meter right across to the left and release. Move the scale up to 30ft and hit half way across.

  That way there is half the chance of a stutter and the meter will be slower moving.
