While ago I hinted about the new EzCaddy Pro 4.x generation with what I've been working for quite some time now. The day to show results has arrived.
As trivial information for new people I must remind that excel is required. I don't hand out any fully configured setting files either, but you may trade them with your friends freely. This program is there to help you with your own level of skill and knowledge. It is not a thing which makes you win by click of a button.
What comes to technical functionality this software doesn't communicate with shot-online client any way. You have to manually input all the data while you play or while you configure the client. EzC 3.x has been cleared by SO-staff long time ago and as 4.x works exactly same way than 3.x there is no conflicts with the Eula. However I must clarify that SO-staff do NOT encourage you to use programs like this either. Using this is your personal choice and your personal choice only.
Unlike early 3.x versions EzCaddy 4.x is 100% freeware with 0% adverts or annoying popups. You may donate something in game if you like but I don't expect you to do so. I've continued the EzCaddy project during my free days mainly for my own pleasure and if few other guys/gals think that it is worth using - I'm more than happy to that already :)
You may also join the official support guild in game, which is called "EzCaddy_association".So... what is new in EzC4 ?
Better questions probably would be what is not... pretty much everything under the hood has been rewritten. You have to remember that what you see in EzC client and what is really there are 2 different things. I've tried to keep the visible part as clear as possible so usability would not suffer from all the boring calculations.
Here is the changelog from EzC3 -> EzC4 (hopefully I didn't forget anything major .)
- Very limited backspin chart was totally removed and replaced with adjustable spin settings = top, back and side spin buttons.
- Added additional wind directions between each existing direction. This will fine tune the accuracy to the max.
- Due to changes in spin and wind calculations parts of the charts and settings were rewritten.
--> Charting is now easier and there is much less of it to obtain all previous functionality (and about same if you include the new toys).
--> There is new setting for tuning spins effect to side correction.
--> Landing angles now contain their own bending values for above and below the "ground" level. Makes configuration much easier as you can tune them separately.
--> Spin related settings were added to bounce correction settings.
- Added shot log feature, which allows player to easily store notes about shots to database which can then be examined and used to correct problems.
--> Shotlog will be exported and imported with the related clubs so you may even change some clubs in the fly and always keep the data current.
--> Shotlog database can be sorted with various keys to find the repeated problems from almost any aspect.
--> Any logged entry from Shotlog can be restored to "EzC sheet current shot" by press of a button to help settings management and tuning.
- Added some new course slots to course notes.
- Increased max allowed range of elevation correction.
- Updated help entries to match current changes.
- Updated export/import feature to ezc4 standard and added support to shotlog.

...and because you won by spamming my email:
This packet now includes basic settings file which is very general, but good starting point for your own tweaking.It will add default functionality to EzC so that it matches with "other" calculators out there. It also sets things needed for
basic lie, elevation, green bounce, rough and sand calculations. Import the included settings file by following the instructions below.
Settings import HOWTO:
- Go to "file"-sheet.
- Click "select settings".
- Add "general settings" to selection.
- Click "import selected entries from configuration file".SOURCE CODE of the product was opened 30th of july 2018. Be aware that some versions with malware may appear. Download link above is the only one I can guarantee to be clean. If someone offers you other version or other download location, make sure you trust the person who is offering them.Have fun and please send all bugreports, comments and wishes to sakari.aura at gmail.com
(and even I already mentioned that I don't send/sell/give/hand out/donate any fully configured settings files - I say it again. Do not request them. Only settings file you will get from me is the one which is now included in .zip packet. It is good starting point.)
-----
known bugs in this build (so far):- None
-----
expected release date of next build- At end of summer 2018 I came to conclusion that I won't be having more time for this project, so 4.0432 was my final official build.
- However at same time I decided that time to unlock the source has arrived.
----
