I'd be in the sometimes category. I'll use it deliberately off the tee to counteract a crosswind depending on the layout of the fairway, or to curl around a curved fairway. Short pitches and splashes from bunkers are other instances when I'll use it, because it is predictable and it avoids the slow. I always go for perfects otherwise or at least a grey fast just to avoid the dreaded slow. "I'll use it sometimes, but mostly when it's more advantageous to me"

"I'll use it sometimes, but mostly when it's more advantageous to me" Yeah, although I rarely do it off the tee. The other shots half the time I'm jamming it forward quickly to avoid taking it back too far, it's just kinda become habit now. I still manage to hit slows on all of them at times though. Either way it doesn't help much with moving up leaderboards, I still stuff up more putts than I should and don't land it close often enough to easily make 10 or 12 birdies every round.

CrazyCanuck's Twitter poll has come to an end...58.6% of the 162 respondents admit to using red fasts at least sometimes - 15.4% say they always use red fasts, and 43.2% say they use them sometimes. Therefore, 41.4% said they always play for perfects.

Anyone try to hit a red fast in the last 20 mins or so? Just curious.

Hope those 60-ish percent of people who play red fasts will be open to change...
Also, doesn't this kind of make the devs initial reaction to all this look a bit silly? Why did it take eight months to change their mind? I don't know, I'm just a bit curious why this change all of a sudden happened, after there being almost an indifference toward red fasts since launch.
Anyway, glad to hear the red fasts have been nerfed. Now they can move their attention to the glitchy and random career mode leaderboards!!! :-)

If it's now random I'm out. Random in golf games is an atrocity. It always randoms towards bunkers and water.

I legit went to red fats this past 6 days just got experimenting and seeing how I would do with them. Results were definitely solid. But I was around the same skill as perfect, maybe slightly more consistent though.
This change makes me ecstatic. I really hated fasts gave more distance on irons and wedges. It was infuriating but I decided to embrace it. Now that 2 way misses are both short makes me much happier to miss grey fast or slow.
