All you have to check is the drive off the first tee if you are suspecting someone of cheating.
Players Driver 265yds Tour Driver 279yds.

Wow are people actually complaining about PGA and European tour players being aloud to use any club set they want now? Really?!! I personally think it's a great decision. I can use the tour clubs, but my consistency with them is just not good enough. When using tour clubs about 30% (40% at best) of my rounds will be decent. But with player clubs, it's more 75-80%. I do still get the odd few bad rounds with them. I worked hard to get myself up to the European tour during tgc1....and even after all the hard work, when tgc2 came out and tgct started back up I didn't want to stay where I had worked hard to get to because of the mandatory tour club use. But now that I can use player clubs I feel I can stand a better chance of competing. Someone earlier in the thread said that people using player clubs will be "left in the dust"....this is not true at all. The only ones on the PGA and European tour who would now (possibly) be "left in the dust" are those who decide to use the standard clubs for obvious reasons.
Some people really do just have to complain about everything these days!!! smh.

Thanks for all the hard work that's gone into getting us going again. Not sure I agree with the club malarkey, but I have to say that if the API was able to spot it then I'm sure it'd be different. Anyhow, let's see how it all works out. Looking forward to getting back up and running  |

Would've been nice if you let the community discuss this club selection rule before you came to this rash decision.

So essentially, you want to play at a high level but you want the game to be easier for you than it is for some of your competitors? No offence meant, but is competing with someone who is playing a more difficult version of the game to you really an achievement? If i was missing cuts in whatever tour i was on because i wanted to improve playing the game on Tour, and there were people making cuts just because they took the easy way out and used Players, i simply wouldn't bother. All this has done is turn every PGA/Euro thread into a new "Which Clubs" debate. I feel like Doyley is trolling us lately  |

Wow. What a terrible decision (clubs) to follow a knee jerk reaction (world tour) with such a small sample size. Tgc1 I would understand but not for 2.
That being said, I will still play because after all, it's just a fake game.
Maybe HB can add replays in a patch showing the particular club? Idk, there has to be a way to police it at random even if nothing currently exists now.

All this has done is turn every PGA/Euro thread into a new "Which Clubs" debate. I feel like Doyley is trolling us lately The game can be just as difficult with player clubs as it can be with tour clubs. That's the wonderful thing about golf, nothing is guaranteed. I don't care what clubs a player uses. If I were to be on excellent form with the tour clubs (which I was for a while) and somebody beat me using standard, I'd actually say well done. You've beaten me with the lowest club set, giving yourself a severe disadvantage in regards to distance especially. We could both play on a course, you on tour and me on player....tee shot over water splitting the fairway, tour clubs can carry but player won't. Depending on the size of the body of water I could possibly have to club down 2 or 3 clubs. This straight away gives me the disadvantage as you have a shorter approach than me. You have a much better chance at sticking the green than I do as I couldn't carry the water off the tee. That's one example of how player clubs don't guarantee an easier time out on the course. As I said, I can use the tour clubs. But lately with not being able to play as often as I'd like, my consistency has greatly dropped with them. Why should I HAVE to use the tour clubs and be that miserable playing my rounds that I don't want to play anymore? I worked hard to get to the European tour as I said, so why should I, which is basically what you're saying, go back to the Web tour if I want to use player clubs? I don't get to play as often as I'd like due to real life commitments, and I'm therefore not as consistent with the tour clubs now and would prefer to use the player instead....so I'm no longer welcome in the European tour? If I want to play on tgct using player clubs I've to go back to the Web where I started back in season 1? |
