  This game would be even better and more realistic with the ability to draw and fade.

  Aparently it was planned to introduce it at some stage. If not there's absolutely no reason to have the shot shaping stat in club stats.

  Until it arrives you can always deliberately miss the ding to curve the shot a bit, not ideal but it helps to hold a ball against the wind.

  I hope they introduce it soon because missing the ding just doesn't work for me.

  From what I have heard they introduced shot shaping early on and were not pleased with the way it worked and removed it. We are all hoping that they finally get it right and reintroduce it.

  Watch what you wish for .... Personally I hope it doesn't come for many years.    If you think people complain about their shots not going where they think they should be today ... just wait.   Shot shaping will increase complaints 100 times what they are today as it will introduce several more variables that people don't understand .. and will blame on WGT "having it in for them" or VEM.

  That's OK, Lou, let them. It will be worth it just to play with those that will be able to handle it. Then the competition really starts. Can you imagine totally random pins for each round and lie factoring on top of that? New game.  They wouldn't even need deviation then. :-)

  I agree totally.

  I concur with Lou here. However, I think that it will be the next game improvement lure for us, with new clubs that will provide such flexibility, and it is already there and waiting for the launch.

  After all what else could they implement now apart from the full set of Cleveland irons that would perform better than Pings and TM's, with the possible disgruntlement of the major club manufacturers that sponsor the game? Or is it that the Clevelands will offer no better performance but more flexibility with draw and fade? After all they are now the king of spins as it stands.
