Never tried it, nor would I.
This game isn’t real golf. If you don’t see a problem with using an exploit that’s established gives you an unfair advantage over everyone else playing, don’t know what else to say except I’m glad the API weeds you out. I couldn’t imagine competing knowing I have an unfair advantage, which is why I was so vocal in explaining why 3rd party controllers like Power A controllers are also an exploit when I was the first to fail the API when TGC2 came out. I didn’t use the dodgy controller and make sure I swung a bit crooked, I did the right thing and stopped using it.
Same situation here. You can either continue using the exploit you have, or you can change and compete with everyone fairly.

Such an old argument. You got a problem with the mouse swing take it up with HB. Same with PS4 vs Xbox 1, take it up with them. I play with what is offered. Probably would have made the PGA long ago if I were on a PS4 and knew which end of the controller to use. I'm perfectly content using a mouse with all our advantageous and disadvantages. In fact I think I'm one of 2 or 3 mouse users on the PGA so we are rarer than an Xbox player who can have a 100% p/p round! So if we have some magical advantage I obviously have no clue how to use it, else I would have been playing in the Masters. In fact if we had SUCH the advantage, you'd think there would be many more PGA players playing with the mouse. I wonder why that isn't the case? I mean you hear of players moving from PC to PS4 but never from controller to mouse. Course I know how much you love baiting people so peace to you, you jealous busy body. How you do in your tour? That being said, it would be so wonderful if I didn't par two of the par 5s and the two super short par 4s. Putted like ****. Almost got second albatross tho, skipped over the hole on 15.

You can either continue using the exploit you have, or you can change and compete with everyone fairly. Again... Did you read what I said in my original post as far as being DQ'd this week? I said that it was my fault, didn't blame anybody else, didn't even send an email to the API support because I saw with my own eyes that my swing lines were a little short... I just said that I got tense/tight playing for whatever reason, tried to play my 2 rounds in time for the deadline without much warmup didn't help I guess, and when that happens for me my old swing comes back resulting in a shorter swing motion/line. Good for you that your natural swing produces a fully completed swing line in the HUD. I do wished that mine did that but it doesn't, so everytime that I take swing I have to really think about it and obviously without success this week! Not saying that I'm not trying to adapt and fix that on my part, it just some weeks are better that others for me in that department!

Proposal. To stop everyone from complaining about API and advantages/disadvantages, Admin requires only scores acceptable in the next month will be via Mouse input for one month. After that anyone that complains their scores will only be accepted with mouse input. Yes there are add-ons that will allow mouse/keyboard on xbox/ps4!! Theorized-outcome. 96.9% will hate it and will realize that they have it so much better where they are at now. Ergo no more complaining and Tim, Doyley & SmilingGoats will be happy again and will be able to stop drinking heavily to drown their sorrows and drink to celebrate good times!!

Would be cool if the actual tournament we all just played 4 rounds in was talked about for once week in and week out. Lol

Watched the front 9 of cyclerob's vid and he had several full swing lines, I counted 5 on drives & approaches in the first 9 holes, so he's clearly not the relentless short swinger that I expected. The problem is, even those full lines were extremely straight. So he clearly doesn't *need* to short swing to give him an advantage in that respect, he's somehow already unusually straight regardless. In which case, the short swing is only hurting him by risking an API pull.
So, at the very least, I do believe him when he says he's trying not to short swing, because I can't see how short swinging can give him even any noticeable dispersion advantage, maybe it's a foot closer to the hole on average at best compared to his full lines, yet it brings a very high risk of DQ for him. How he swings that straight in the first place is the real head-scratcher in my view.

For what I've highlighted, the short answer because it's past 1:30am here, too many hours on the range! lol But seriously... tomorrow I'll run down exactly what I do... many comes from holding my DS4 straight up in front on my eyes and found a way to hold it that it becomes very stable... going to bed now!

How he swings that straight in the first place is the real head-scratcher in my view. It’s the flicky swing that does it Larry. This game will allow a flicky swing to come up consistently short or it will show VERY straight on the ones that are JUST long enough to trigger a full line. If Dom was to play a round with all full swings, they wouldn’t be that straight, in fact, he wouldn’t be able to do it with his swing I’ll bet. It’ll be almost impossible without changing the swing somewhat. I’m not calling out for Dom to change his swing here, that’s up to him, but he’ll continue to walk the tightrope if he continues this swing. Worryingly, HB seem to think there’s nothing wrong with the swing in 2019.

Faded a bit in Rounds 3+4- missed too many fairways to mount a serious challenge. Still very pleased with -41 though and a possible top 10 finish. Had a great week as champ- told loads of people who absolutely didn't give a sh%$. Don't care, I have to listen to enough Fifa and C.O.D. stories!

Lmao started cold, not warmed up, and not relaxed enough leads to hitting it to straight thats a gd 1, also im sure the people failing api non stop are just as frustrated as the people watching them either finish top ten or fail api, so much so they try the same swing the following week to see if they can gain some more info on how to stop failing api. made cut again so great game great course again You clearly don't know how the API interprets a short swing... IF you short swing, the data collected by HB now and that is sent to TGCTours is a big fat "0" and the API interprets as a inhuman dead straight swing... It wasn't like that in the previous games. So as I said since I've been swinging that way since my PS3 days, must be over 10 years, sometimes when I thighten up that short swing creeps back up in my game. That's what happened this week and I could see it myself so I wasn't to supprised about the outcome. Maybe for you when you get "tense" you start swinging all over the place, I don't know, but for me my swing gets shorter! And for those who don't think that I'm trying to fix that... ask pro golfers that have the "yips" if they're not trying to fix it and how much sucess they have doing so? Here are my 2 rounds if you care to watch, it's not like I'm hidding something here! Wells Fargo Rounds 1 & 2Starting cold, not warmed up, not relaxed, getting tense and it shortens up, we are talking about the same thing here your golf swing and not something else

I'm going to chalk this woeful finish to first tourney jitters. I'm not sure how else I can explain paring 6 of the 9 par fives and going 81% from Medium distance in putting over the last two rounds. Horrendous. Long distance putting was awesome, I drained 3 putts in round 4 from 35, 48 and 50 feet. Missed 4 or 5 from under 10 feet.:/
Ah well moving on!
