I'm very glad to hear that :) My old system had an AMD 3000+ (2GHz), so if it 
now works with ok with an 1.4Ghz chip then something must have changed in Qt 
4 to improve things. (I now have new system, on which Kolf is silky smooth, 
but I didn't know if that was just because the new system is faster or if Qt 
had improved.)

So the balls didn't touch each other and were not interacting with anything 
else at the time? Very strange, I've not seen anything like that. Is it 
something that you can reproduce? Maybe I should just add some code at the 
start of every shot to put the putter back in the right place.
