Putting is Killing Me

  Loving all the recent mods like the avatars, the shuffling feet before a putt, the head movement before a shot, even the sun glinting off the putter after a stroke...

  But it seems that these mods have come at the cost of putting being absolutely awful. Zero consistency in the game now, in the last week I've had numerous putts roll right over/through the hole and it's not about pace because they're finishing inches past. Or similarly, playing over pace on what I would expect, only for the ball to stop dead, right on the lip.

  Please WGT, sort this because it's incredibly frustrating.

  the amount of rolling right over the top edge of the cup is 100% annoying.  It seems like everything is playing about 1/2 cup too much.  If you do the math and it's say 3.4 half cups, i'm finding that if you hit 3 half cups, with 1% more power, it's going center cup.
  
  I'm also having issues with the wind.  7-9 cross wind moves the ball more than 11-13, and if I figure out 2.5 grids, it's really 3.5.  But it's not consistent, so it's frustrating at times.

  For those who don't know,  WGT from time to time (randomly) changes the speed of the greens. Not by much. I estimate between +0,5 or -0,5. Since the speed of the putt is the most crucial factor to sink the ball, that change, makes aiming points useless. So, just a tip. Whenever all of a sudden your putts are going long or short (and you are 100% certain that you hit the correct number), try to adjust the factor. Instead of playing 13 for 13 speed, play 13,5 or 12,5 according to balls's behavior. As you can understand, changing the speed factor to the putt in order for our ball to reach the cup and not being short or long, makes a difference to the aiming point as well.

   

  Adjustement is the holly grail word to play well wgt.

   

  Same thing happens with the winds. You see an 11 oclock wind and after your stroke you find out it was 10 or a bit less than 10. That changes almost everything on your calculations and naturally on the outcome. Winds are a bit of a guess, but putt speed is adjustable not 100% but close enough.

  This is not true.  WGT has already said, multiple times, that they do not do this.  Please do not spread misinformation.  God, you're worse than Paul.

  This is absolutely true and i have tested it hundrends of times. I don't care what WGT says.

  Keep waiting me in the corner everytime i post...either way, you don't have anything else to do in here.
