YOTADOG: ^YJ, where did I say anything about a club changing?
You didn't. Reread the post and note the introduction of an entirely different bug that I referenced, one that I have seen and reported that does exactly what happened to you.
*Edit-I just read a post in our CC about this bug. The poster claims you can see when the error is going to happen by looking at how far the spin dot goes down. When the glitch is going to happen, the dot actually goes lower than the ball.
