I was getting alot of fast downswings yesterday. I don't believe the game or servers are stable. The day before, I was hitting p/p about 90% or better of my shots with tour clubs.

It's strange, I'm still getting the odd fast one but 90% of my bad shots are now coming from slow downswings. I'm wondering if it's technique or the game? Perhaps the backswing speed is affecting the downswing? It's the one bit no one seems to focus on but is maybe more important than we think? My personal experience is that I'm finding the game is working pretty well, it's me that isn't always! I would add I have very good internet speed which could also make a difference.

In my experience, every bad swing is down to me. I don't really take seriously the people who say "I did it EXACTLY the same every time, the game is bugged", because you didn't, unless you are cheating. The swing is affected to the tiniest degree in Tour settings, you can't possibly know you were doing it precisely the same.
And the people who complain but still generally hit -50 or better can go bury their heads.
Anyway, barring the odd crash before this latest patch, I've never really had any issues. If the swing stuttered, I just stop and start again - always fine the 2nd time.

If the swing stuttered, I just stop and start again - always fine the 2nd time. Best post I've seen in months. It's always easier to blame something other than yourself. I agree this game is varied to the highest degree. It isn't possible to replicate the same swing every time. We are humans and we error. This game has been pretty good since last patch. I'm in same boat. If I hit it fast. I don't always feel it but I know it must have been me. This game is built for mistakes in the swing. That's the whole purpose of a tempo swing. It's not TGC1. It's a golf simulator. And it's still the best one ever made. If people want to hit it perfect every time. Head back to TGC1. Watch pros they have fast and slow swings and hook and slice it. It's part of golf. Except in real golf. 1mm off on your Club head at impact can lead to a 20 yd miss left or right. So it's a very realistic game. Our thumbs may indeed feel the same every time. But just remember this game is intended to be tough and allow miss Awesome post Congo. Glad to see your back playing well bud

But just remember this game is intended to be tough and allow miss Awesome post Congo. Glad to see your back playing well bud In general I completely agree, I think it's very easy to blame the game when it's almost impossible to replicate the exact same swing time and again. My personal experience is the game is working very well and I also agree it's the best golf game I've ever played, mainly because I love how hard it is to get it right all the time. BUT, it is possible that others aren't having the same experience, especially (it seems) on PS4, and also I have had two or three sessions where I was all over the place no matter what I did, even practice swings, so it does seem there can be issues with the servers. It's one of the good things with this society though, very little b%&ing!

I am sorry to say I will be leaving this society due to the 5 max rule the brain trusts at HB have instituted. I have truly enjoyed the competition and friendly rivals and banter here even though I was never very competitive but still had fun. I want to thank firstblitzer for all his efforts and the great job he did running this society. Heres hoping that I run across some of you players in other formats here. Thanks again and good luck to all!

Nice win in the last one firstblitzer. That's twice I've been pipped at the last minute! You git! Just played the first round of the current event, was all over the shop to start with, bogied the first 2 and was still +1 after 6 so I was quite pleased to recover for a -7. Nice round from Clint Kelso at the top.

Just checked the leaderboard after 2 and was surprised to see myself still at the top. That clearly won't last!
