   could we have an option to switch putters?

  give u an example: i just had a shot on #5 28ft, it was downhill 12inches and i was given 60ft putter.

  totally useless to use it, i'd much rather have 30ft putter as i can estimate my shot much easier:)

   

  thanx!

   I think that is a really good idea to have a choice of putters and have ran into that example a few times. 

  While we are tallking about putting it would be great if at some point there was a practice green to putt and chip on.

  And how about a 10ft putter. Its deeply frustrating to try to hit a 5.5ft putt with the 30ft scale and find that the ball only went 4.5ft

  I agree, I had a 48 foot putt and it gave me a 150 foot putter. What the heck?

  i would have to agree with everyone on this putting is the one big downfall in this game the greens are hard to read with the info givin different putters probably would help allso i would like to see alittle more info on the rise and fall of the greens rather than just a number huvering over the cup how about some kind of gratuated scale  or line showing the rise and fall of the green    oh and guys keep up the great work thanx     jtb45

   I agree to all. I would also love to have a practice green to try to get the putting stroke down.

  Some hash marks on the power bar could help, but then maybe it would be too easy? Maybe for beginners.

  The green gridlines are a nice representation of the slope/speed, but I expect the red to be higher and blue to be lower which I think is intuitive - so that throws me off a tad in the current setup.

  also what would be really nice would be to actually see the shot from behind the ball!

  what is with this off-line view? it is very offputting and as i am sure realism is the goal...very unrealistic. otherwise a pretty good game

   Also i have noticed that with the 30ft putter 50% does not seem to hit the ball 15ft. Has anyone else had this happen?

  i have only ben playing for a day and a halfe and i have to agree with everything said on this post.

  i would also like to suggest that the "slice" or direction of the put should not be a factor on the green, if a player wishes to hit the ball to the left or right than he/she should just be able to move the target in the direction in wich they want to hit the ball.

  you should be able to just set the power and let it go without clicking for the "perfect shot".
