  Hi everyone,

  Here is a list of new additions:

  • Callaway Chrome Soft with Truvis Technology. 
  • The new Chrome Soft from Callaway featuring Truvis Technology gives you more visibility with new red and white pattern, plus more control, distance and a slower WGT swing meter. 
  • Better follow the path of your shot, even on your putts.

  Available now in the WGT Pro Shop, unlocking at Level 18 and Level 67.

  Additional changes:

  • Post-Rental Equipment Discounts
  • Rent a virtual club that you love? For equipment that you’re currently renting or rented within the last 24 hours, get 10% off if you decide to buy and make it yours. Rent Clubs Now
  • Now you have the ability to lock and unlock the putting grid when you’re on the green or the fringe.
  • Unlock the grid to move it around the surfaces and better read lies.
  • Lock the grid to keep it in one place, but still have the ability to move the aimer.

  Other Fixes and Improvements

  • Voice Commentary Sounds – Control the volume and turn on/off voice commentary in your Settings, plus listen for new phrases!
  • Avatar Display – Fixed issue displaying a “frozen” avatar at the top of backswing in some games
  • Practice Swing Meter – Fixed issue where the WGT swing meter doesn’t reach the end of the swing meter during practice swings
  • Flashing Ball – Fixed a display issue showing a “flashing” golf ball while players tried to reconnect during a multiplayer game

  Musta caught you folks in testing earlier, my putt read were acting like chip/pitch reads.

   

  Good thing you're testing them!

  Away from hopefully a couple of fixes I see only faffing with trivia, but thanks for the list.

  Any news on say the generally dreadful state of multiplayer ?

  So to get a chrome "soft" ball that used to act like the old chrome "hex" ball, we have now got to pay an extra 200 creds per sleeve.

  Nor wonder you messed with them, but i aint touching toes for ya!

  Callaway Chrome Soft with Truvis Technology. 

  I don't see them.

  Now you have the ability to lock and unlock the putting grid when you’re on the green or the fringe.
  Unlock the grid to move it around the surfaces and better read lies.
  Lock the grid to keep it in one place, but still have the ability to move the aimer.

  Just tried it and it didn't work. Is this not available on mobile?

  The new ball has a speed of 3. So its different. But except for the fancy color sheme which you can only notice when the ball is rolling on the green it is just an too expensive middle class ball.

  It did not take me long to find the first bug introduced with the new release.

  An slightly rising green area on Bethpage hole 8 which is correctly shown in blue by the old grid is shown in red or falling by the new moving grid.

  They also have 2 dotsof durabilty only. So the price is increased by 10% at least.
