Apparel Abilities Not Working

  I noticed in the past couple of days that my apparel abilities are not working is coin games. I have added distance abilities for most of my clubs & that shows in game but every shot was coming up way short. I removed those abilities & am playing with original club distances now & everything is fine. Also had ability to slow wedge meters & that obviously isn't working anymore either. Anyone else having this issue?

  Very strange, seems like they are working again.

  You also have the L5 Foxwind Shoes equipped, which add +38 iron spin.  That extra spin, to some extent, will counteract the +28 extra iron distance that your L4 C&M Vest gives you.

  Your L5 Foxwind Glove gives you +38 slow wedge meter speed, but your Ping Tour W wedges all have a meter speed of 3.0 (which is fairly fast).  I'm not sure how noticeable the +38 would be with those wedges.  You might consider looking at the high-level Titleist Vokey wedges (3.5 meter speed) or the mid-level Callaway Jaws wedges (4.0 meter speed) as an upgrade.

  Never thought of that. Makes sense, thank you so much!

  Just curious, how did you know what abilities I have?

  OK, so I was just testing distances with my irons. Now I always assumed club distance was how far the ball would travel in the air before it hit the ground. I tested my club distances with 2-4 mile an hour wind & adjusted expectation for slight elevation where the ball would land. The wedges through about the 8 or 9 iron all travel in the air about the exact distance that the club shows. When I get into the lower irons, the air travel difference in much less but when you figure in the ball roll they are all fairly close to club distances. Is this the was it's supposed to work? Obviously the lower irons have a lower trajectory so they aren't going to stick like wedges or a 9 iron would but I just thought club distance was air travel time. Also, when I do full back spin I only lose about 3 yards which is what I always calculated for. That extra spin ability doesn't seem to change distance.

  In the game, you can pull up a player's Profile and see what equipment and apparel they are using.

  I had no idea it would tell you the apparel level and what % increases each individual apparel item has by player.  Now I have to go check that out.
