jvr86:
I use Google Chrome.
Any way, the spin error is not something that happens every day. May be we didnt notice it when we have a lot of fairway to work with because the ball will travel by roll instead of air, so we have decent distances and no complains and we didnt paid attention.... Been a random bug (if it is a bug) and that shows up only in specific holes that we want the ball to travel more... It's a little hard to find a lot of evidence.
I use also google chrome.
Good point Javier. Indeed, one notice (or care) really this problem when you have to clear nasty stuff like the bunker on Bethpage #4 or using the shortcut between trees and bunker on Bethpage #9 for example.
I remember that on Bethpage #9, with R11 driver, Callaway Iz (non legend) and 6mph wind tailwind, I couldn't reach the fairway through the shortcut during an alt shot game. But it happened also on some par 5 on RSG for example (the one with the bridge, don't remember the number of the hole), where you care less because the ball rolls and the distance covered is still OK.
I understand very well the position of Icon. This is indeed a very strange issue. First of all it looks like it happens only when you play against one or several opponent(s) (Match Play or alt shot) and even in that case, it doesn't happen all the time...
I do not know how the game is coded. I understand that when you play it shouldn't matter if you play alone or with someone. The shots are encoded the same way I guess. But when you start a match or an alt shot, there are additional parameters compared to single stroke game no? Perhaps those additional parameters interfere somehow with the spin registration. Perhaps when the spin is set with the cursor, it is not registered for some reason in some cases...
Once again, strange issue and because it's not systematic (at least no one up to now can give a systematic procedure to reproduce it with 100% success), it will be hard to fix... Good luck to the engineer :) .
