  Haven't been a fan of WGT of late. I think you guys have made some really dumb decisions and it has greatly affected the way many of my gaming friends play. But the new swing meter is fantastic. 

  I play the mobile version on Nox because the Nox window can be sized like a window should be able too and the meter is smoother. But after a couple of rounds with this new swing meter and now I have to adjust my game to actually hit the ding. Might actually be time to switch over to Early Access.

  The mini-map never really bothered me like it did others. But I really couldn't make out any difference but. Bigger is better but, especially the wind direction which in my opinion is more important than a mini-map.

  Looking forward to future updates now.

  Definately playing smoother now, looking forward to some of the flash games like 

  Match/play, A/S, Skins being added in the new year when that happens it will go from a good game to a great game   

                                                 in my opinion :)

  Thoughts about the latest update.

  Meter is better. Much closer too what we are use to in flash.  Thanks.

  Maps are larger on some holes and not on others.  Few kinks but over time would expect errors could be corrected to make all maps larger and same no matter the course or hole.

  Did notice a difference on greens.  Played back 9 of weekly at Pinehurst with green speed 13.  Ball was traveling a lot farther than normal.  Might want to check this one out.  

  Also on putting it is difficult to read and it's way too precise.  You have to be exactly on it or it will miss as if there is not enough forgiveness in putting.  Should be looked into as we all miss putts but not this many.  I have been playing the WGT PC app version since it became available so I have had time to adjust and you can't adjust when you feeling like you have to land a helicopter on a telephone line just to get a putt to drop.  

  Please get the green speed and putting forgiveness another look and adjust so it's more manageable.

  Thanks for the updates and keep them coming.
