another thing that not many people notice is that the hole shrinks in size as you tier up.I don't know if it still does after legend.
what you see is the same but not the effect. a hack or amateur doesn't even have to hit the hole that you and i see in order for it to go in. it's probably around 20% wider.
also myself and some others believe they tightened the hole up slightly 4-6 weeks ago.
It's a variable they can program and adjust at their whim.
