    Sorry for the non-professional video. I haven't been feeling great in a few days, and I'm a little tipsy from the meds ;-)

    The meter is super smooth. It looks as though it's choppy/stuttering, but it's not. I think it's because of using .wmv as the video format. 

    Better Privacy is only available for Firefox browsers. I use Comodo IceDragon. To create a shortcut folder for the adobe flash player cache/cookies, go to "run" in the start menu, type %appdata% (there is a video on my channel showing how to do this) and right clicking on the folder for appdat, and clicking create shortcut. It will put the shortcut in the same folder. You can then copy, or drag it to your desktop, as I did. I think Scott Hope made a video showing how to do it, step by step.

    I mentioned I had my settings set to 20%, but they are on 40%. Doesn't really matter. It does not need to be set any higher.

    The memory cleaner I used is called "smart ram" and it's a part of ASC (Advanced System Care).

    Also, although I didn't do it in the video, I have started to hold the meter at my desired power for a few seconds (especially on tee shots, and longer irons) to let the CPU settle down. Using Flash will cause some PC's CPU usage to go very high. Mine doesn't get too high, but the lower it is when the meter is moving, the better.

    I use Chrome instead of IceDragon, but I do use Comodo's Secure DNS  Servers

    Jay,

    Great video.

    Do you normally play as a tab in the browser, or do you play using the pop-up game client? (I am wondering if you were playing on a browser tab or purposes of the video)

    Thanks for sharing, 

     - Mark

    They are so secure they block harmless stuff. Like CD overdosed on paranoia.

    Do game sounds if turned on affect the meter?

    They happen after you shoot so how could they?

    Well was not real clear with my question, the wind, birds, and all the other sounds that you hear before and while you hit the ball

    good question, maybe no because they're all on volume sliders and the sounds are processed anyway with sliders at zero.  

    Would be intersting for someone with significant metering problems to mute all sounds using the check box and see if meter improves.  Then, if so, play with the sliders in case sliding to zero is actually an on/off switch.

    I disabled mine and it made no difference.
