  Power bar and screen keep skipping and studdering, making it impossible to play. It already cost me 2 balls.

  Same here -- I restarted computer, browser, etc. Its a total wreck and my bandwidth is huge.

  Had it happen twice last night. Meter jumped hard right just as I was hitting (I thought) the ding.

  The good news: I got to play two shots from areas I'd never been before.

  The better news: I saved par both times.

  The best news: I played three more games after that, and it didn't happen again.

  I lost two ball from that. I guess I'll have to go back to a test run first before actually hitting my shot.

  I’m not sure why but I have had nothing but 2 or 3 slight hiccups in months. Of course I use 2 or 3 very old Chrome based browsers that use NPAPI  flash instead of PPAPI (pepper flash). YJ uses older version of Comodo Dragon and an older version of flash where I keep my flash updated. But we both have smooth meters.

  My meter for the most part is smooth, but every now and then I swear it speeds up slightly before the ding. Probably just me though.

  I run on an old Vista OS, with Firefox and Adobe Flash with hardly any malfunctions if anyone is interested. My laptop, which I hardly ever play on is a Win 10 OS, Firefox and Adobe Flash also.

  I have had great luck with Vivaldi browser, never a problem for months. However, yesterday I tried Slimjet. I had never heard of it before, but someone in my country club mentioned how it killed ALL ads. I have only played about 10 rounds on it so far, but it is the best meter I have had, and I have not seen a single ad, not even the videos before games and at the turn. It is definitely my new favorite if it continues to perform this way.
