    Unofficial opinion on 5% alteration

    Please vote yes or no on should we be allowed 5% alteration to ball carry/ spin etc.....in tournaments.
    this is unofficial and wizard is just curious what people think. Just your opinion and i'm totally cool with voting either way. No hate here. Wiz loves almost everybody. 99.9% love he is far from perfect 0.1% anyway. Lol

    Wiz vote
    No

    #1 reason he uses it is cause he competes against it

    Let's go with no adjustment

    is there a poll option?

    I'm gonna also add, if everyone doesn't have the same chance to use boost, like Uneekor owners, is it fair to everyone?

        I use 5% on driver only because many people have said that skytrak high ball speeds are on the low side, but I've never simultaneously used a skytrak and another launch monitor to confirm.

        ​​​​​​If this is true, then I vote yes, since I'm a skytrak owner

        But really it's a video game tournament worth $0 to me. If you cheat on here I'd hate to play with you IRL.

            I vote no boost. Wish there were a poll on wind and gimmies too. For what it's worth : yes wind. 3ft gimmies.

              Question was about adjustments. mthunt pointed out to me there is no boost rule.

              If you want extra carry hit the weight room like Bryson. No boost.

                I just want to boost my clubs occasionally based on the shot I’m faced with. Did I miss that option?

                I vote no changed settings. Play it as it lies, as they say. That said, I use the boost for my Driver. My room is small and even after 3 years I still suffer from "indoor swing syndrome" with the big stick. (I've hit my ceiling a few times with the driver). I'm not a big hitter to start with (no 300+ yd drives for me!) and the boost gets me more IRL distance. But if it was outlawed, I'd still play.

                    No boost. I understand why it's there and makes sense, but in tournaments no way. People that don't need it to match outside yardage will use it and take advantage counteracting the purpose of the function.


                    That said, is there a way to police boost? If its outlawed can you see if someone is? Even right now if someone is using 15% boost is there a way to determine that?

                      There are definitely people using way more than 5% .. people who show up in the top 10 of tournzments the last few weeks... hitting drives 200 yards on 500 yard holes and having 200 in on their second shots. And similar on all the par 4's as well..
