  For me everything seems to be back to 'normal' now. Been through and checked virtually all my distances on my Punch, Pitch and Flop sheet and all's good again.

  I agree. Is it coincidence that they ran an update last night?

  I noticed that too - been leaving everything a yard or two short since the update.  Thought it was just me. :-/

  a bit of a bump but came across this over the weekend.

  New Cleveland wedges with a tighter dispersion circle.  Wonder if they're coming..... actually when they'll be here?  LOL  

   

  Me being the sucker for new stuff.  If the new ones get closer to the new 4.2 meter speed of the Callaway stuff, I'd definitely switch, just because.   

  

   

  Hell,  I'd probably switch anyway lol.

  So....you think they already programmed the specs and did a "test trial" on us? 

  Now...my 100 yard Cleveland has been hitting up to 108 yards with 1-2mph wind in my face.  And a 1-2mph tailwind on a 98 yard shot...that shot if I hit 96% it's dead on...if I hit 95% it's 4 yards short...if I hit 97-98% it sails well past 100 yards.  Confusing as hell.  It's become a crap shoot.

  I think something is wrong with the game, and or wgts end. I been getting a grey box in the Play Now box area, and a  player  is unable to continue finishing the VT ,keeps getting a blue box when hitting the continue game .

  So something is going on, I am going to go try the Cleveland 100 yard and see if I get 108

  Nope 104  with a 0-2 tail thats hit flat with the NIke 90 ball

  Yeah bring on the new stuff , me like new toys

  my best so far with the Cleveland 56 100y wedge has been 121y with a 29-31 tailwind on that short bandon dunes hole.

  left me scratching my head for a while....

  Well, if the game played like real golf, that would be more than possible and pretty easy to hit. But seeing as it doesn't, who knows. 

  Kinda funny really, where in a 'golf' game people are trying to range and spec clubs to pinpoint accuracy in an effort to hole out every approach... Sort of easy to tell who actually plays golf in real life, cuz that sh*t don't exist.  LoL

  One thing to sit at the pitching area hitting balls into a cup, quite another to do it on the course, just never quite plays the same.  ;)

  Not what I was thinking but I guess they could do it?   But looking at the dispersion image for the wedge we have in game now, it looks like it could be up to 8 yards long or short.  The new version of the wedge has a tighter circle.

  I have only had the high level Clevelands a short time. They are fantastic, and this is not even meant as a complaint, but... Here are a couple "WTH" moments from the past two days.

  1) Bandon Dunes and the pin is 116Y. I hit 56 (100Y) Cleveland w/ full top spin with a 19-21 mph wind behind me. I think it is a great shot, especially after the carry is 117Y. It hops back and then rolls all the way back to 12 yards short off of that hill. (I saved the video) The next one is the opposite.

  2) Pinehurst and the pin is 91Y with 2' elevation gain. There is a 4-6 breeze coming straight back at me. Knowing that the 56 Cleveland tends to defy gravity, wind, and everything else, I only give it 92% (exactly). There is zero spin on it. The carry ends up being 93Y, and then it rolls another 2 yards, leaving me 12' past the pin. I don't think I ever had that club roll out like that. 

  It's all good though. Love this game.
