JDGHOST:Seeing that putting is maybe 90% of the ability to score low AND the putting is MUCH easier on the mobile who has the advantage??
first. ADP is a better stat to go by assuming it's not screwed up by playing red tee tourneys. Close ADPs result in higher first putts made stats. Sure there are people that can make a higher number of long distance putts but even they will tell you they'd prefer not to have to try many of those.
secondly: Even though i've backed way off in the last year. I've been one of the few that for the last 4 years has consistently played both mobile and flash versions. Often playing both types in the same day.
I've had times where I thought mobile was easier and played Ready Gos exclusively on mobile and other times where i went the other way and thought it was easier on PC and played RGs exclusively that way.
Here's the reality. Forgiveness in regards to timing approach shots is easier on mobile. slight misses are still ok. Putting on PC is usually flatter and has less break in comparison so is "usually" easier. However I've had nights where i wasn't quite reading breaks right on either platform so switched platforms to the other and it helped. No matter which way i switched.
So it really depends on which areas you are "on" that night.
Thirdly: no matter whether trying to hit a ding or specifically trying to hit specific off ding spots a mouse is significantly easier to time than tapping a screen. PC players will always have this advantage.
Also when it comes to tournaments any tournament that has a round in which you can have unlimited plays, the PC crowd currently dominates.
My guess as to why this is has to do with patience. Most mobile players play much faster in comparison. Constantly having one on one matches provides constant challenges. Credits are nice but really do many of us play to make a profit? for me it's about the competition. mobile players tend to look at unlimited play as a waste of their enjoyment.
Whereas in order to win a VT tourney you have to be willing to restart rounds over and over to get the start that you want. The PC players seem to be much more willing to do this. Me? I hate it. I think it's created by WGT just to get more ball hits. there is simply no reason other than that to not have each round be just one attempt.
I've watched RGs quite a bit in the last few months in several tiers and the people that i know are mobile players are doing quite well. I dont think there is much difference any more between PC and mobile when only get one try.
and lastly in showdowns there are 50-100 mobile players in expert competing and often coming out ahead of some of the best PC players. And it's not an apparel based advantage because the ones i'm talking about have gotten the apparel they wanted a while ago in preparation for the downfall of flash. So it's not as if they don't have it. However final judgment is difficult because "expert" is being played off of master/TM tees. And that's a complete joke for people in this skill bracket.
The problem is most of you are making conclusions when have really not put any significant time into whatever the other method is of playing.
a few rounds isn't enough.
