Clubs act differently on PC versus Phone

  I have been playing for quite some time on my android phone. I just got an internet connection at home and have started playing on my PC. I like it, but I'm quite disappointed, in that, my clubs seem to act entirely different. What I really use to enjoy has become a disappointing experience.

  For example:

  I have a Callaway X2 Hot 9.0 Driver. On the phone app, it is a rare occasion that anyone out drives me. It's a real cannon. On the PC, however, I can't keep up. I just don't get the kind of distances I used to.

  I also have a MAX Spin 56 degree wedge. on the phone it has a wicked spin. On the PC, I can hardly notice it.

  I have a considerable investment at this point and I really want to continue playing, but if I can't enjoy it, there is no sense in continuing

  Any ideas? I'm bummed

  There`s nothing wrong with either the game or your clubs . You got promoted 29 March and with the tier up you were moved back a tee . That changed everything that you were used too . The distances changed and your green speed changed also along with the way the game will now play for you .

  Everytime you tier up the game will change and those shots you used to nail become far and few . You have to relearn shots and distances all over its part of the game . So dont give up just adapt to the changes . Also take the time to plan out your club upgrades because there`s another set of tees coming up .

  After Tour Master comes Legend and with that comes your last move back on the tees . It will be the last tee move but not the last tier up . So start looking at the clubs with high trajectory as you will need them . You will have awhile before the final move but dont wait for it to make the needed upgrades .

  Cograts on the tier up play well have fun and just enjoy the game .

  Lonnie nailed it and this can be explain by the greens being firmer at the next level. They change with the tee, too, each time getting firmer and faster.  :-)

  Thanks guys, I appreciate your responses. I went back to the phone and low and behold, I suck there too! LOL. So, I guess I'll just have to play on and hope I get the hang of it soon. I guess time will tell. I'll try new batteries for my putter and maybe a Viagra or two for the driver! Thanks again for taking the time. If I see you on the course, Please go easy on me!

  I have no idea how you're able to do that!
