  On the downside:

  Grid freezes on putt downswing.

  Seriously annoying - did anyone ever ask for this "enhancement" ???

  Didn't think so..

  To me, it's most likely a programming fault, just another betterworsening.

  The options "grid on downswing" ON and OFF exist, "frozen grid" is of no use.

  Someone mentioned the accelerated grid before in this thread, and I care for this, too. Perhaps the freezing is the unsuccessful effort to fix this one?

  But feel like WGT gives me the finger @ every update.  

  Clicking on the news page they added a yellow vapour trail to a cally ball.  The picture however shows the ball to be yellow as well ???????.  Hmmmmm maybe some one dropped the paint on the way to the actual balls, and might be in the pipeline for ya???

  

  EDIT:

  SEE HERE:

  By popular request, the player-favorite Callaway HEX Chrome virtual golf balls are now available in yellow, with matching neon yellow vapor trail.

  Another niggle I've noticed is that my game client window always opens with sound enabled.  Before it used to remember that I like my wgt like I like my women, quiet.

  Not very useful when you are trying to get a sneaky round in at work.

  Now that is just plain mean.  Denying the guy his yellow balls is bad enough but to say Here you go, yellow balls and then not actually have them is way below the belt.

  Right in the balls in fact.

  Pinehurst in the CCs - nice!

  Smooth meter while trying it out.

  Any other good news?

  On the downside:

  Grid freezes on putt downswing.

  Game freezes on Gimmie at last hole.

  Clicking "back" in a CC tourney category still kicks me back to the main window - why not to the new intermediate CC window. Both is annoying - the latter hides the tournaments, the former is illogical and time consuming.

  RL tee times in USA, CDN and GB/IRL - more looking like a money maker for the company than of real use to the majority of users...

  X2------------ nothing of substance for we the customers- just more cha- ching in WGT's pockets.  Not that the company shouldn't make a profit, but how about giving some of it back to your customers?

  Finally!!!!!!!!!!!1 I pledged in some thread a while back I'll send 5 sleeves HP's way the day they finally take pity on him ;-). Mission accomplished and hopefully they won't make the water around Congo #18 turn a different colour ;-)

  Right in the balls in fact.

  And in a move that surprises literally no one, WGT 'drops the ball' yet again.  A quick Google Image Search for Callaway Hex Chrome yellow reveals the following:

  

  Thats not just yellow, its NEON YELLOW!!!!!!!!!  The balls WGT is currently offering are traffic light yellow or Buzz the Honey Nut Cheerios Bee yellow, but THEY ARE NOT NEON YELLOW!!!!!!! Disclaimer: This statement is based solely off the image posted by Jimbog; I haven't actually purchased a sleeve so I can't check the color in game.  To me it looks like all WGT has done is taken the yellow available in the WGT GI-__ series and applied it to the Callaways.  I was hoping to be among the first to gift Hazen a sleeve once/if WGT ever delivered, but now I'm just one of the many in line to give this new update, and WGT, the Finger.
