PaulTon:The sudden overnight change has come as a bit of a shock to most players and the loss of this ability will be a game changer for some.
Still not tested it all properly to see personally how realistic or not I think it is, and frankly no great rush.
Some time to think it through though cheats will be falling over laughing at this. I will probably still do the odd RG, but this increase in the cheats arsenal will likely mean a huge cut back in my play.
I am not some top player or someone who plays loads like some top players, but RGs I found fun. Simple fact is I am not prepared to give this one away as well at most places I an think of. Therefore just talking about what I like I think they went too far with wedges as it's beyond what the game can support in a fair way. They could easily tone down the spin on some balls, but that's ball sales so I doubt they need it that realistic.
WGTs choice but if I were in a market place where wagering was offered, and another place was more secure it's a no brainer. No serious competition currently exists beyond hot air promises though.....
Not being a rule for all makes it a poor change from my POV.
