  Ok, cool updates. But why did my average jump from 59.89 to 61.98 just now? I think it is very messed up to change our averages without any explanation of why after the hard work us TL's have put in to get to where we are in this game.

  As Alosso has mentioned elsewhere this is likely to be because the number of rounds needed for saturation at TL has increased.  Now higher scores, that were discarded, are included.  Fair enough but for  new tiers with, seemingly, nobody in them?

On top of that, you gave us no explanation on how we are to achieve the new tiers that has been presented. How many more ranked rounds do we need now to reach Champion tier?

  Refrerring to Icon's original post, he said tiering up will be the result of play and posted scores ...

  Posted scores is pretty clear, but "play" is a little vague ... we'll see if number of ranked rounds has anything to do with it. 

  Actually I think it's good news that the new tiers will be based on ability, as that deters sandbagging. If someone is thinking of holding back, shooting only big tournaments, posting low scores and hoping to do so repeatedly for a long period of time, they may find themselves suddenly moved up the food chain.

  Hey, I completely understand. New tier, new requirements. WGT could have at least specified what those requirements are instead of leaving us in the dark and guessing what they might be. Do I feel like grinding again like I did the last few months to get below 60 again? NO! But obviously I have to do what's needed as well as others on WGT who has reached TL status. I just want more concrete info on the matter instead of playing everyday, every round guessing or assuming you know.

  Different name, my Hex balls have same stats as these NEW soft balls

  As per camera, yes i know putting for dough BUT the second shot really is an important shot so to take you back to tee to set your shot is pure stupidity

  If i am working out where to try and land ball then why do i have to ask the blokes on the tee behind to give me their view of it!!!!!

  Bollox and big ones at that

  1) Notice that on the new Calloway balls the ball life dropped from 2.5 to 2.0.

  2) Zoom on approach shot is useless.  Where it used to zoom in on the green so you could move arrow to play the wind, now it zooms backwards like from behind your avatar. Almost like an aerial view from the tee or just in front of the tee.

  3) Is there some reason why WGT won't tell us what the requirements are to get to the next tier ?  I, for one, would like to know what I have to do to get from TL to Champion

  Just played CB alt shot, confirm camera issues between shots. There's a brief view of empty tee box before 2nd shot with player appearing, and a brief view of empty fwy before player appears on green.

  Also, clicking camera icon from fwy no longer shows putting grid but a fwy view to green.  Need to now click the 'view to green' camera to see putting grid.
