Putter Animation...

  Over the past several months, I've noticed that my Method putter will "fly" out of my hands when I make a short putt.  It literally leaves my hands as if coated with Vaseline and moves toward the hole.  Sometimes, it's the full putter...others, the grip stays in my hands with the shaft and head leaving the grip.  And I've noticed this also occurring with Control, Spyder and Versa putters my playing partners use.

  As it doesn't have a actual effect on game play, I'm just wondering if this has been reported by others and if so, is there a fix in the works?  I personally don't care one way or the other, but it does promote a "shabby" attention to detail I should think WGT would like to avoid.

  And just for the record, I've tried to capture it with the "Report A Problem" option during play but I'm not allowed the time to do so before that screen shot is gone.  So you either know what I'm talking about or recreate to understand the issue. 

  Other members wish to chime in?

  It is a game of funk my friend...

  What are the odds that Tiger plays a nine hole match against a hacker,,, and though he doesn't have his Tour game going,,, how bad can Tiger play... Bad enough that he only wins the match one up...

  Now WGT. will swear that individual gaming skills,,, money equipment,,, money balls,,, etc.,, are the factors in shot outcome,,, and WGT. does not format matches,,, each score independent of outside factors...

  Though not Tiger,,, I have a better scoring average here then he does on tour... I played a match vs a friend rather new to the game,,, still a 150 hack... Yes, I did not have my total concentration,,, but I only won,,, one up...

  Do you believe that is even a possibility in the real world of golf... No outside influence??? And no need trying to find an explanation from WGT.,,, they do one thing good... Take your credit card...

  update: looks like it's a hard fix and may end up being worse, so we have to be careful and it may take time to fix.

  A I said in my OP, it doesn't interfere with game play so I've no interest in a fix or not.  I do appreciate your time investigating this tho.
