  Real idiocy to have that meter slower boost available in stroke play tournaments ... and even in the VUSO qualifier. Practice rounds, ranked rounds, or CTTH sweeps I could see ... but this is beyond the pale.

  Please WGT, take away that new cheat .... people will be "buying" wins ... 

  WGT sink to a new low.  Almost as low as the VUSO cut will no doubt now reach.

   

  Well they've inadvertently saved me trying to improve on 56 and burning balls to do so.

  No telling how low the cut will go now and no sense in chasing it for me...others mileage may vary.

  Well if there is a sudden unusual pattern of scores dropping (some stats people around here may be all over that) that would show v clearly what is going on, and that the scam actually does contribute to generally lower scoring.  No way would I play that game either.

  My goodness, is this for real?

  Come on MB you knew this day would come:) the meter has got slower and slower over last 3 years.The best clubs used to be the fastest meters!  thats using G10's and I 15's as examples. Then WGT did a U-Turn and and now the day has come where you can buy a slow meter on a crucial shot:)

   

  Totally disappointing.

  Well apparently that Focus Boost was not an April Fools joke. Are they serious? They are basically selling a cheat program...really weak.
  
  Why can't they fix the Invitation Alert for receiving a game invite, so that you actually get the alert when the invite is extended, NOT when it is REMOVED! A lot of good it does getting an audio alert THEN!

  15,30,60,100,150,300 on the new Nike putter,,REALLY?????...dumb idea WGT,,i use the older version with the 10,20,50,100 increments and love it,once a player gets certain increments dialed in we really don't want to change,,most of us who are used to those increments won't be buying this putter, a shame too if you hadn't messed with the increments and left them at 10,20,50,100 etc etc. this new putter would already be in my bag but i wont be trying to adjust to something different when i've been used to the 10,20,50,100 increments for years and have them fairly dialed in now......a better idea would be to make all putters universal and let the buyer decide which increments they want but i guess that would be to difficult to program "NOT"..

  Can you tell if an opponent is using Focus Boost?

  You can try it once and see if it shows in your activity, like when you buy anything else.

  Nice job WGT ! I found it of special interest to notice the C-Storm level listing of May 4 that indicates only 253 players open to buy the new L103 R1 driver and 491 in position to obtain the L101 Nike putter....we see, from time to time, accusations of WGT greed, but this release would  hardly qualify. Also, great work with the new L90 irons....you will sell a bundle of them !   ~ SP ~

  I think that might just be you. I've never heard of that problem before.

  Rather ingenious, I'd say. The change to those scales gets the attention of the 96 Versa owners as it has the same increments. As a Versa user I wouldn't have even considered it had the scales been different. Now, that + .2 in Precision and Balance looks attractive. (You can have the forgiveness, I'm a ding putter and that's where that small increase will show up.)
