  Yep, finally see what you guys are talking about, CC MP round yesterday at RSG, playing the par 5 on the front 9, tee shot 18mph behind me, full BS R11 with is ball, came off the tee like I played topspin, (dinged shot) drive was about 280 yard..didn't think much about it till my opponent teed 35 yards farther than me.

  Icon, I have played a few Stroke Rounds since you asked, all hitting drives with full backspin, and not a single glitch. Asking around, it seems to happen rarely (if ever) in  Stroke Rounds.  Hence the lack of responses to your request for replays.

  Yet, the glitch keeps happening in Match Play and Alt. Shot games.

  Cheers.

   

  hi

  there is no difference for modes of play. they are just that, there is nothing different for them as far as shots.

  i suspect that many folks just playing a/s more than other rounds.

  hence comes my point why it's hard to find, it's been 2+ days and I have yet to see 1 replay.

  Hello Icon!

  I have 2 replays for you both with good kind of tail wind.

   

  • Numer 1. 

   

   http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=10cc599c-f626-478d-8201-9f85000bba8c

  275yrd, in a down hill and with that wind was a very poor shot... the full shot went 285 with full power, normally it goes 300-305.

   

   

  • Number 2

   

   http://www.wgt.com/replay.aspx?ID=dbc2bffe-86e1-4021-b7e8-9f850007955a

  The principal view start from the green I don't know why but if you move around the other 6 views you can see that the wind was a 14mph straight tail wind. The problem is that the replay doesn't have any view from the player, but I perfectly saw hay the ball traveled on air during my shot, and after I put the "replay last shot" botton. Any way you can see how the ball just went on air like a no BS shot, and this downhill was biger than the first shot. in the view number 5 you can see the wind and the shot arch. This shot should had gone 330yrd.

   

  Hope this help you.

   

  Javier.

  I can't think of it happening for me outside of mpc/multiplayer,  may explain the lack of replays.

  Me either, I purposely used full BS in all DW shots in RG's today (normally do not) and didn't have an issue.

  hi

  thanks for the replays.

  as far as drive on #8, i don't know if it was ts bug  because that drive is uphill and yours landed into the uphill as well.

  others who drove there can check and judge but I think it's fine.

  as far as drive on #2, i have bad angle so not sure.

  what do you guys think>

  Icon,

  On #8 the problem is not how the ball roll after it hits the ground... Take a look at the shot elevation after hiting the ball. it went like if there where no loft on my club. And the ball should had landed further because of the extra loft that Back Spin gives. Yes, the ball land in a Uphill, but the tee was higher than the place the ball landed; indeed higher that the fairway itself... so the ball should had been more time on the air, specially with back spin. when I use backspin I dont expect the ball to roll, but to fly more...and that is our point. If we are trying to fly over a bunker and the spin gave us a bug we are gonna land in that bunker. In a flat fairway like St andrews #1 with no wind or low wind my ball goes on air 295 - 300 yrds with full backspin. more with tail wind.

  On #2 the problem is the same, too bad we cant see the avatar and the shot to really apreciate the poor ball trayectory like #8 replay shows. 

  Anyway thanks for showing interest on this subject. 

  Javier.

  This 'non-application' of back spin needs to resloved and quick ... unless this is an intentional part of the programming of course ?

  Played back 9 at Congress ...birdied first 8 holes , then dinged the approach to 18 with an R11 3wd with full back spin ... flatlines straight into the water as if the backspin was never applied ! 

  You guys need to sort this chit out before it drives guys away from the game !
