Not tested 60 / 70% brush etc yer and no rush to. If that is easier then you have made a mistake. A few kids who can't work out that brush is a hazard, and take it on the chin should not have been listened to in these Emails you get.
The usual up to 40 / 50 rough around the greens I am cautiously optimistic. Stiffing everything from up to 40/50 from any range inside 70 yards or more was never particularly realistic say the least.
Not tried it enough to agree whether it's realistic enough entirely but early signs are a good job. I would be fine if you also rolled back ball spin attributes with irons, and also 3 woods too in all honesty.
Negatives are that the person playing with this should show a few of their favourite shots. IMO just saying it's changed is not very good.
CC upgrades etc were and remain way more important too - just a harsh fact.
EDIT: Obviously if this change to rough play around the greens turns out to be a prelude for higher spin more expensive wedges to get back to near square 1, well, goes without saying that will go down like a bag of wet sick:)
And for the love of god don't bring them in at L100 if you do - we won't have any genuine players left to make CC upgrades worth bothering with.
EDIT 2: The immediate downside to all this of course is that the cheat gets in the rough less. Maybe those new wedges, at a sensible level, will have a special discount to those trading in their faster meter set..............
The other issue thinking it through is of course cheats don't miss greens with their iron play. See how it plays out but without at least toning down the spin on balls (3 irons sticking like velcro darts) this is putting the cart before the horse for any credit based comp.
I think cheats will be clapping this one.
