Well, that's a new way to blow up a round! Anyone seen this before?

    So this happened to me in the clash on CB 12. I'm still perplexed hours later. Any ideas?

    Playing on mobile phone. CB 12, the short par 4. I have a fantastic wind, absolutely perfect for full backspin 3W @ 100% power and aiming slightly left. Ridge behind hole will act as a backstop. Eagle territory.

    So I take the REVERSE view behind the green, move the aimer to the fringe of the green, switch to 3W, apply full backspin. I don't even bother to go back to the view from the tee. I just hit the shot right there from the reverse camera angle.

    OK, I didn't quite hit the ding, but I never do. It was close enough and I'm happy. A bit disappointed not to receive the vibration you get on mobile when it's a heartbeat and going close though.. But then I see why...

    The view flips to to view from the tee, and the avatar who is initially aiming at the green turns to my horror through a full 90 degrees to the left and smashes a DRIVER (yes, not the 3W I just selected on reverse view) 298 yards WAAAAAY into the sea. It had to be a driver because a 3W wouldn't go that far into what would have been a partial headwind that direction.

    Now, it is of course possible that I'm an idiot and did something wrong, but it's kinda hard to believe as I could see where the aimer was when I hit (so it wasn't like I somehow moved it into the sea) and I know I dropped down to the 3w too.

    Of course it was a new ball too. It always is when this type of thing happens!

    Anyone else seen this? I've hit shots from the reverse view many times before and never had a problem. And generally prefer it because the caddy can't go doing something wacky to you when you change view. Or so I thought....

    Am I going mad or is this a "new feature" of WGT?
