Please Help an Old Man

I am old & not very bright & I get confused easily, so I seek your help.


English is my first language, but I do get confused by big words. Can someone please explain the definition of the word "Random".


I asked Alexa & she said "occurring without uniformity" but I questioned her because that can't be right, I pleaded with her that there must be another definition but she is sure that there isn't.


I turn to you for help to ease my confusion. The word random must have another meaning or Alexa needs to be put out to pasture.


My confusion over the word "random" is caused by it's use in relation to Meteor clubs drops in game.  I have received from Epic Boxes 34, 3*  Vixens in a row, but two very fortunate South Korean players got 5 Meteors in a row & 3 Meteors in a row respectively. Hence why I questioned Alexa's definition of random as occurring without uniformity.


I did ask the very nice lady in support & she said don't worry everything is fine, but I do like to understand what words mean, so, please help so I can tell Alexa there is another explanation & get her reprogrammed.

It’s nice to see I’m not alone or crazy in acknowledging  this very issue. I’m not sure what is more demoralizing, never pulling a decent Driver, etc. or the fact that those “lucky/random” players who have pulled nice clubs have absolutely no empathy for us unfortunate ones. I’ve been playing about 9 months and the game is becoming boring due to being stuck in the same place for a good while now. Also, thinking you worked your way to some tiny improvement only to find it was a lateral move at best and sometimes it feels like my previous setup was better. I’m really getting to the point of moving on to time better spent. 

131 rubbish clubs in a row now including 11 three star Vixens from Crystal Craft. It is now a total joke. Support, you win, I give up, I will play with what I have, I am not wasting time or coins buying anymore boxes. It is ridiculous it is not any version of the word random. 43 four star clubs & nothing to evolve.
Thanks Joe really helpful & informative comments. Much appreciated. I have 309/92 atm. Support - take a leaf
I can relate to your frustrations...up until maybe 3 weeks ago I had never been given a blue strength or better driver. That being said I haven't done a single thing with it because I already had a better alternative, a green prickle driver. Reason why is this one has dual limitless fittings and with it being grn str & orang acc it is equivalent to blue str but far more accuracy. So make sure and see what enhancements are on all drivers, especially prickles! Who knows you might even get a limitless + forgiveness then you are good to go don't need to worry about anything but getting components. Just for some data on my green prickle it's dual limitless (orange/green) so it's level 40+6....with a change of just one component I can have it set for either distance or accuracy...I know it's not the best but gets me by and I can keep up with most players as far as distance....2 settings are (dist/gauge) 323/99 or 337/124.....good luck
The top 15 in the 1 Gold Star Matchplay list today all have Meteors with Blue strength or better. I can't compete with someone who can outdrive me by 40 yards. Where is the even playing field? Support - You asked me to post my concerns here, I have done so & you have not replied, very Disappointed.
103 useless rubbish in a row, I now have evolved 39 4* clubs with 3*s from boxes I have just dropped 200k on 2 matchplay. Both purely because the opposition can drive the 2 par 4s & I can't. Both of them Eagled the par 4's & I can't so it's a pointless contest. Does PS want me as a level 50 to play 1k matches where I can Drive par 4s but would ruin the game for noobs? KD you don't need a better Driver my friend you beat me every time with your current one
Your concerns are shared by many of us I'm sure. The luck and chance aspect while absolutely sucks.. is also kinda what keeps us all playing.. for that chance that the next box has that beast you need inside.
KD, I wait patiently, but I frustrated by how much of this game is down to pure luck. In real life, if Rory McIlroy and I go onto a golf shop, we both have the opportunity to buy the same golf clubs. He will then beat me because he is better. No luck, his skill. But in this game it is the equivalent of us going into the shop, him coming out with a Gold plated super Driver & me coming out with a piece of 2 by 4. My question remains why is distribution of quality clubs down to pure luck meaning that players of the same level can't compete on an even playing. I am not asking for the world, just asking the game to be made fair. It's not difficult, you just put meteors in the shop, make them mind numbingly expensive. It gives players something to save for, makes the game fair. It would mean players would play more to get coins to save for them & many would spend more money. I see that as a win win win situation.
You do what all of us 'unlucky' folks do in the same boat.. try again tomorrow
Alexa, support said I could raise any further concerns here, can you tell me why they didn't reply? Alexa's reply "sorry Idon't know that one" 91 totally useless clubs from the last 91 boxes including a 4* from 4/5* box having saved for 2 months. I have evolved all the 3* & I now have 27, 4*. I will limit it to 1 easy question this time. As you won't give me the same opportunity as others to get a better Driver that will enable me to compete on an even footing. How do I progress in the game?

Hi Diddydave101! Thank you very much for posting your concern here at Forums. We are very sorry for the inconvenience and for the confusion about our random drops from crafting club Boxes. We can say, Alexa is right, however, the situation you have experienced from crafting club boxes can be told as random. You will be receiving a Club that has a star rating of either 3-stars, 4-stars, or 5-stars (which is a Meteor Club). Any of these can be obtained anytime and anyhow many times you craft club boxes. Please also be informed that there is no specific level of a player to avoid or stop the Random drops.
