  Has the player chat under country clubs been wiped for everyone else after the downtime ?

  New high level equipment, thank you !!

  Just in case anyone is still unaware of this: This is not "new" equipment, it's the exact same clubs (as the previous high end clubs) with a new picture and name. If that's worth your money, go for it, but don't expext any improvement in your play because of it ;) 

   

   

                         "NEW" APEX         "MY ROUGES"       BTW Mavericks were identical as well

  AVG DISTANCE	225-120	225-120
  TRAJECTORY	High	High
  PRECISION	5.0	5.0
  FORGIVENESS	3.0	3.0
  SHOT SHAPING	0.5	0.5
  SPIN	4.5	4.5
  METER SPEED	4.4	4.4

  Woo Hoo! If the WGT Version of the Epic Speed are anything like My real one's that I use, we will be golden!

  HOOOOOAHHHHH!

  The driver has exactly the same specs as the sub zero had, it's just a few credits more expensive.  If you were to use it instead of the one you currently have equipped you'd lose 4yds, 0.5 in precision and have a 0.1 faster meter. The 3wd and the irons are exactly the same as the one you have.  Everything is just about small price hikes (30c).

  I'm going to slot a little bit of my knowledge in here. When the game was played in a browser, I could look under the hood and see a little bit more than the average punter.

  One of the things I could see was the fact that there were a lot more attributes for the items in this game than were made visible in the shop. So what you see, is not all there is. Clubs and balls that have the same attributes, may not play exactly the same because of other attributes that you don't know about.

  That is really interesting. There have been a few occasions when I "thought" I noticed a huge difference between clubs with very similar specs. I had assumed it was just my imagination. I personally think that is a cool thing, adding a little more nuance to the game, and giving players a reason to get a little superstitious about what's in the bag. 😂

  Okay, let me ask the obvious question then.  What are (or were) the other attributes?

  The perfect example of this is (was) Callaway Apex Iron Set that was sold in the pro shop about 3-4 years ago. Had the same attribute numbers on the surface in comparison with Nike Vapor Iron Set, but behaved nothing like it! Long, short, short, long... flying all over the place! It was a bronco impossible to tame, I had to give up on it at the end of the day. Since this new one carries the name "Apex" again, I'm kinda hesitant to go for it although the look and design of it is so tempting. The experience with Apex was that traumatic for me.

  I can't remember exactly because they had odd names, the kind of names that are used for variables in programming. But they were informative enough to say to me that the values attached to them were used in calculations specific to that particular club or ball.

  We all know that the clubs we use accelerate as the meter progresses towards the ding, that rate of acceleration has to be calculated and that value isn't known to us, it's not listed in the pro shop. Different clubs accelerate at different rates.

  Many people have posted about how clubs and balls with the same attributes, feel different. And it's those attributes that are not known to us that make these slight differences.
