  After a recent OS install I developed a severe unpredictable swing meter along with interrupted ball flight meaning....driver, iron, or putter I cant see the shot from beginning to end. All this with 50Mbps wifi connection. Any suggestions how to smooth things out, settings?......Nothing like this ever happened before the new installations. I use ie and windows7 if that matters. Thank you

  One that I seldom see mentioned is to make sure your Vid drivers are up to date. This simple fix took me from stuttering like an earthquake to smooth as silk.

  Making sure all you device drivers, browser, flash player, and Java are up to date and cleared of trash (temp and un-needed) files is just part of routine personal computer maintenance.

  Don't forget to keep the computer's heat sinks (CPU, power supply, graphics card) and cooling fans physically clean too.

  A lot of players have meter stutter, and other game play issues in part because they don't do the required personal computer maintenance for 2 main reasons:

  1. They don't know how or what needs to be done.

  2. They can't be bothered.
