Spin Error on Drives

  Well, for those who said spin error just happen in MP or alternate... here is my third replay in a solo game. first 2 are on one of the first posts of this thread..

  I noticed because, after seen the good wind, I was expecting to have long drive to have a chance for an eagle. This was suppose to go somewhere around 315 and 330... but just take a look at the trajectory and where the ball lands (270yrd as no Bs applied)

  BS Error Replay # 3

  You did apply full BS to that shot jvr?  That sure looks like a no backspin trajectory.  There's one for your devs WGTIcon.

  Yep Andy... full Bs, like in my first 2 replays... that is why I noticed the the short drive for that kind of wind. 

  I was playing one of the qualify rounds for the ROTW Rider Cup team... and after a bad VEM on the  first holes (+2 on #2 lol )... I was really paying attention to my game.

  I've just had another glich in challenge match at R.St.G #2, i won first hole, tee off with 20 mph tailwind, give full back spin, my ball fly's low, straight into the brush.  Now you can clear the brush easily with tailwind usually, and i had it later on congressional #4, straight for middle of trees rather than above them.

  Hi guys,

  No, I am not ignoring you...

  I want to request 2 specific things.

  1. If you get a ns glitch in single player, please right click and immediately submit report and put to let wgticon know about it.

  2. if you get ns glitch after NOT conceding anything in the previous hole, please right click and immediately submit report and put to let wgticon know about it.

  right now, we don't need any more replays; just those 2 specific cases. when you file these reports, after, please post on my wall, so I can follow up on them.

   thanks

  Does the glitch happen only when using backspin off the tee or does the spin not make a difference?

  no doc your not i have been getting this for a month or 2 now. but just recently the past week has it been happening 9 out of 10 times after a concession in alternate play. its to the point where we ask for no concessions in all our matches. theory is that it lies in the concession mainly so tip for all who are having the nasty spin glitch try not conceding next time we have found that the game plays much smoother this way.....

  This. Plus I answered my own question-it only affects the drive if you use backspin. If your ops didn't get the message, use no spin or top spin if in doubt.

  It is not a 'bug', it is a feature not yet documented.

  this is the only step you need start a alternate game. make sure there are concessions on every green, after that pay close attention to the first mans ball flight of the tee opposed to the second man, this is most dreadful on par 3 and drives where you need the height to carry  certain objects bunkers ect ect,,,,,, but if you will do this over the course of 9 holes i gurantee that you will experience at least 4 spin glitches..........
