    WGTicon:

    Nothing happened to me, I am here  and reading. I passed up the replays to our team and they are checking it out. But, as you know, our #1 goal right now is skins, so once that is done, the other issues will be prioritized.

    No one received balls yet since I only seen 1 person post 2 replays up. The rest are something else? Or I am I wrong?

    Also, just because I am not replying it does not mean I am not reading.

    -wgticon

    WGTicon... that was 18 days ago..... since then 3-4 more pages of complaints and discussion from members of this site... And NOTHING from you on this topic.

    Meanwhile we see you actively responding to other links.

    1. I will ask again... Has anyone received the balls that were promised for posting replays???  

    Its such a silly thing to harp on about i know, but they were offered as an incentive to get replays and havent been delivered which is just typical of the attitude shown by WGT towards this thread.

    2. After telling us that EVERYONE was aware of the issue, that it was being worked on, which would be over 3 months now, WGT then tells us that the Skins format is the #1 goal and then all other issues will be prioritised (as quoted above). 

    So.... WHATS GOIN ON????  There are many people, including BolloxinBruges that have posted issues, have stopped playing for credits, have lost money due to this problem and YOU sit their quietly as a mouse not saying a word for 18days!

    3. Its now a day shy of 3 weeks that i posted a replay of a WGT flatline drive that cost me dearly in a 1000C Ready Go.  You asked me to PM you WGTicon... I havent as all you need is in this thread dated 11-1-2011.  Its YOUR company that has the fault, I have posted a replay of it, it is for you to sort it out and if need be get in contact with me, with some form of compensation offer or refund.

    If I dont hear back back after this I will be emailing directly to WGT to express the contempt of which you have treated this thread along with myself over this issue.

    You may not like me WGTicon, but the poor poor treatment of this issue, the lack of feedback to members, the money and results  it has cost people is annoying the c r a p out of everyone that plays this game to a competitive high standard.  

    Even if you dont like what i write, as a representative of WGT in here, you still need to deal with issues like mine in a timely and professional manner.... something we are certainly not seeing.

    I await a response from you and think that the players deserve a response from upper levels of WGT over how this issue is being treated, what is being done and what steps should be followed if this BUG is costing people money, like it did to me.

    Stu

    Watch your replay again... have a close look Andy, then watch mine again... my replay is an aggressive dust cloud and a lot of it, indicating the club is making contact with the ground.

    They are very very different in their appearance in the replays bud,  but the best bit is they are on the same hole.  A very visible difference.... and outcome.

    Hold on a second Mr. Briggs before dismissing my last replay!  LOL!

    Your observation, very good btw, indeed shows my last replay on Oak 17 kicking up a few blades of grass while your shot looks like you hit an exploding golf ball!!  You kicked up a ton of dirt sir!! (The fact the dirt is well to the right of where the ball was might be relevant or irrelevant.  IDK could be just graphics and not affect the shot.)

    I took your advice and took a close look.  In fact I took a long, hard, close look at not just our two replays but all 5 replays posted here.  Way back to Allen's replay on page 6 from the 24th.  I compare all the "divots" from all 5 shots below.

    Its important to note that both drives with low ball flight, #2 & #5 below, have quite different divots.

    The divot from Allen's drive (#5) is identical to the divots from my normal flight drives (#3 & #4)

    I'm still not sold on the "cloud of dust" divot being the answer.  How can it be?  When Allen's low drive showed a normal divot?

    Briggs, can you post the links of the other flat drives you used for comparison?


    Links to above replays:

    1. Andy's tee shot on Oakmont 17 - Normal Flight

    2. Briggs tee shot on Oakmont 17 - Low Flight

    3. Andy's tee shot bumped off the tee at BPB 4 - Normal Flight

    4. Andy's tee shot on BPB 4 - Normal Flight

    5. Allen's tee shot on BPB 4 - Low Flight

    I have not been playing this game long but have reached Master Tier on Level 88. If I may make a small comment. On the shots shown above it seems as if its only the Calloway Legend balls that have the low trajectory. Has any-one followed up on this to see if there is a problem with the balls. Just a thought.    MEL1950

    What a classic.....

    Maybe i shouldnt have said anything.... WGT got me again on first game after making last post.... LOL

    11th at Andys... 180yrds... 15mph wind blowing left to right at angle of 8o'clock to 2'oclock.

    I hit 175 3/4 backspin... slightest miss of ding to left (should take distance off as we know) , it bounces at back of green and 17yards long!!!

    My mate steps up... he hits 175 1/4 backspin... slightest pull also, bounces couple of yards short of the pin to the left and finishes 2.5ft from pin... pin high.

    Now tell me that is not weird when we have same clubs and balls.

     

    Not weird - I reckon this is happening to more players than we know about

    I was on 8th at Kiawah 197 slight headwind champ greens, touch of bs hit about 192 (thought at the time I'd under hit it) but figured I'd roll close

    Dinged it perfect - flies 208 yards and into the rough - yes I did have the right club displayed

    I've had other shots coming up short rather than long but this one really made me wonder whats happened to my clubs

    Already checked and posted in this thread. It is NOT the difference between Legend/regular Callaway balls creating this NSG (no-spin-glitch).

    Thx for the input though.

    I've been paying attention and I still haven't seen the NSG with non-Legend Callaway balls.  And I'm still waiting for someone to post a replay of a NSG using regular Callaways or any other ball except Legend Callaways.  IMO, MEL1950 has a valid point, it could be related to the Legend Callaway.  In fact, until seen otherwise, it appears to be related to Legend Callaways.

    Would be tough to get a replay since as far as I know, the NSG is only an issue in multiplayer.  I can't say I've ever had the NSG happen to me playing solo.  I'm def not positive about this, but I there there may be a correlation between a conceded putt and the NSG, can't recall it happening in skins, whereas in MPC it happens all the fkkn time!!

    yes, that is exactly it, as I have reported. Grab a bud and test it out on RSG front. Halve the hole, have player 1 concede  the putt to player 2 - making sure this is the last action on the hole. When player 1 tees off on 2 - it's going in that bunker almost assuredly.

     

    thread is here.

    Bollox... you only have to go back to my replay posted in 1st of November while playing a 1000C Ready Go on back of Oakmont to see that this occurs in single play as well.

    17th hole... straight into bunkers with big puff of sand as i tee off.

    WGTicon.... is this now 20 days that you have avoided this topic... still see you posting.
