  no backspin, 77 yd wedge only goes 50 feet from the fairway, 50 yd wedge goes only 3 feet, nominal wind 3-5 callaway ball, it has been this way for 3 or 4 days now. Is anyone else have this problem?

  Hey sarge read my post Complete set of clubs found. It is unreal, my R9 8.5 driver with 18 mph tail wind going 160 yrds, my 115 Cleveland 15-20% rough ding shot going 32 yrds.  My daytona on an 8 ft putt 0 elevation, vf greens, hit 7 ft goes 4 then hits a wall. Been like this all day. I have tried 4 different courses and the same results. No explanation my friend, not meters, winds or anything. Just totally unreal.

  Wow that's very strange... I guess you have tried the usual "trick" to clear the cache etc.

  On my side, everything is normal.

  Regards.

  What trick to clear the cache.  I am having trouble with the new putting barometer.

  Since I was switch to the single touch barometer for putting my putting strokes have doubled.  I am very curious if the techies on this game have ever held a golf club.

  they need to make it more like real golf.  Even lowering the dot on the ball has never given any backspin. Especially at St. Andrews.  I think I going to move on.  57 to qualify is not golf it is video hookery.

  Hmm, you have been a member since June 8th, 2009!!! The putter (EZ Swing) you are using is crap. Try using the "beginner" or "Starter" putter and I think you will see an improvement. (Maybe) Or you can upgrade your putter like you have done with the rest of your equip.

  And for the record, a 57 on most other video golf games (can you say TWO?) wouldn't even have you within sight of the leaders.

  Took me three weeks of TWO to shoot below 60.  Been here nearly 4 months, haven't done it yet, though I have had a few sub-30 9s, especially when playing 18 LOL.  Took me three months to shoot my first 29.  I have shot 29 or below 6 times this week on the front side of RSG.  If I could shoot better than a 31 on the back, I might actually qualify.

  I haven't had any issues until last night playing in the Oakmont RG. 90 yrd wedge shot with 8mph tail wind out of the fairway went 38 yrds. I thought maybe I had switched my shot selection to pitch by mistake. No so. Same thing happened about 4 holes later and everything was set up perfectly. Cost me a few spots in the RG that's for sure. Really strange.
