Hi,
I've been here just over a month now and really like the game. Once I'd got the hang of the basics I made pro quite quickly, and then just when I thought I was getting to the stage where I could compete I shot a 30 and got moved to master. I know the 30 wasn't the only reason, but that was the last game I played as a pro.
I was going to carry on with the clubs I had (Raptures) because each time I'd bought equipment with a faster meter I suck really bad with them and go back to the slow ones after a couple of bad scores.
That was the theory anyway. My trouble is I'm not the sort of person who can be just ok at something... I have to try to be the best I can, and if my best is only ok then I get frustrated. When it goes well, I can get lowish 30's or mid 60's with my pro raptures, but as you'll know that isn't good enough to compete with the best on here, which isn't good enough to make me want to keep coming back for more.
With that in mind I've bought better (longer driver and more accurate irons) clubs in the hope that I'll eventually be able to compete in the master tier, but once again with the faster meter I can't stop the bar anywhere near the 'excellent' line to save my life (most of the time) and I'm scoring worse than before... again!
So sorry for the really long post, but the question to all those that have risen through the ranks and would quite easily hand me my butt on a plate is.....
Did you struggle getting used to a faster meter, and will it get better with time?
I've got no problem with putting the hours in if it'll get there in time, but I just don't want to be chasing an impossible dream if struggling with the meter now means I'll pretty much always struggle with it.
Thanks for reading, and for any advice that anyone can offer.
