Even with the best equipment you can never truly expect a shot to turn out the same way every time.
Exactly. And, in my opinion, this is how it should be. This is a computer game and can therefore be broken down into numbers: % of power, exact amount of spin applied, direction and strength of wind and so on. But, it's representing a game with so many more variables that they have to build some variation into each shot. You cannot hit a ball with a 5 iron using 95% power, full back spin, into a 5mph wind and expect it to turn out exactly the same every time. Personally I'd stop playing here if every shot worked exactly as I thought it should, it would just be boring.
In real golf you have so many ways to make club head to ball contact slightly different, anyone who has ever played a round of real golf knows it's damn near impossible to make exactly the same shot twice.
WGT have tried to make a computer game have an element of feel, something that really isn't possible. I think they've done a pretty good job of it though.
