  Here is 1 for someone to explain to me please...

  Zoom in on the cup in camera 1 and see it wide right of the hole, Camera 2 shows it going through a cup that wasn't really there.  I call it a "Phantom Pin" and its due to a mis calculation by WGT when projecting the pin on reverse views.  Something they need to look into.

  This has been going on quite a while for me. I just figured it had something to do with the graphics being off slightly and gave up asking why.

  Here's one thread on the subject.

  This shot was definitely the strangest replay of all. I watched the replay a couple times after hitting the shot. The replay showed the shot from the other side of the cup with the ball going directly over the cup and through the pin. After I posted it and had the comments that the ball missed the hole by at least 2 inches I went and watched it again. Totally different replay that what I watched immediately after the shot. do do dodo do do dodo you have entered the twilight zone.

  Based on this observation, and it's not the only one you've pointed out, would you say aiming from the front view is more likely to be correct than from the reverse view?

  Maybe for someone starting out new?  But for you with 25,000 putts, and me with 17,000,  I think the adjustments have already been made through repetition and notes and what nots.  Changing would, IMO, just mess us up.  Besides, I'm never close enough to the pin to see the dots down by the cup from the player view.    Please feel free to give it a try in our next match though. ;o)

  I don't know how hard it is to get the graphics 100% .But I have noticed that some of the holes are up to 1 1/2 " off mark.I've noted the holes and made the adjustments.

   

  Ps no spell checks please.don't care
