  That putt was 47 ft  + 17 up, so basic calc about 64.  On tournament greens that's 64/1.35 = 47.4.  The putt was hit at very near that percentage of the 100 ft scale.  It traveled 70+ feet including at least a yard into 30-40 rough. Or, roughly, the distance the 150 ft scale would have gone.

  This is where avatar moves are empirical. 1 move on the 100 scale for tournament 12.0 greens goes 20 feet. That putt was 4 moves near as I can tell.  :-)

  Note...the 47.4 isn't the percentage, I use it as "Fast" greens in feet, so with your calcs ...Dave...I would have hit three  av's on my 150 scale and a scooch more

  in his calculation 47.4 IS the percentage on the 100 scale

  being lvl 98 fred is using the versa lvl 96 too so it must be affecting other putters too...

   

  Not seen a problem with my L96 Versa, well, apart from me LOL

  Fred needs to send them a screen shot of his WD / score at least from that 1000 credit RG when it pops up ?  Might be a tough one but hope it resolves favourably for all.....

  It didn't happen to me, a lot of other strange things on greens like not being able to move my aimer, quantity of lip outs or balls that stop all of a sudden at 2" of the hole as opposed to a gradual loss of speed. This when they don't go through the center of the cup so slowly that they could take a picture of the bottom of the hole when they pass it like this one:

  replay.aspx?ID=df2c9137 d3f4 470c a704 a431000c92d8

  I've sent a message to WGT about these issues and my thoughts as well. BTW it usually happens when credits are involved.

  No, my post to Dave earlier meant that if this happens during a 1,000 cdts Ready go, to me or to him or to anybody, big chance that the screen in front of us would fly through the window and so finishes out of order for awhile lol

  I hope you'll have the refund Davo or I can start a petition in the forum...so many angry people that we should be able to get enough signatures to put pressure lol

  BTW, you don't need to improve too much your bag to improve your game. You're good buddy, items won't bring much to your game at this point :-)

  ----------------------------------------------

  The thread is about the frigged up putter not this one putt, BUT just to make it clear I went back in practice mode and had a go with my old putter from nearly the same spot.

  Original setup: (It says 48% power, actually measured in pixels on the original screenshot it is 48.684% (Should have gone maybe 3ft past the hole))

  Original result: 71ft

  

  These replays/screenshots are all from 47ft and 17up as near as I could get to the original video.

  100ft scale 47% power (I have 5% increments on a piece of scrap paper)

  result of 100ft scale approx.47% power:

  

  100ft scale 100%

  result of 100ft scale @ 100% power:

  

  150ft scale 47%

  result of 150ft scale approx. 47% power:

   

  I don't know how many avatar movements were involved as I do not even look at them.

  I do know that if I hit a 47ft 17up putt on tournament 12 greens with 48% power on a 100ft scale it should stop very near the hole.  Sheesh

  The putter was screwy.

   

  happy days,

  DaveD

  This is very disturbing news.

  Is it only affecting the M2 Nike putter, or is there evidence of other putters having this affliction.

  Haven't experienced it with the M1.

  Somthing is definietly wrong here.  I also have the M2 and all green speeds seem to be defaulted to ultra slow, regardless of the listed speed.

  Definitely a M2 issue.  I switched to one of the starter putters and all was normal again with the green speeds.   Wish I wouldn't have hastily sold away my other nike putter....
