I was immediately hitting 100% after the update, my swing must have been "correct" from the beginning. It requires a faster downswing than you are probably used to. And try pausing at the top of the backswing for a half-second.

lucky you mate.
I have always hit 100%....since the update like I say its been 95% bang on 90% of my shots. Im on XB1 (in case its a console specific problem) and always played right stick (thankfully as that seems a whole other ooft-up)
I have always held for a split second at the top of the swing...I will give it another blast tonight with a faster downswing, but I tried that last night to no avail.

Right, and 100% was easier to get before the update because it was tied to framerate, so since XB1 framerates are awful, we could get 100% easier. Now the swing is not tied to the framerate, which I think is actually better. Keep practicing, you'll get it.

If this is "you doing something wrong" rather than it being a bug, what's the trick now? I've tried slamming the stick forward as quickly as possible, but I just watch my character do a partial freeze at the top as the swing goes down to 95%. It seems like the character isn't reacting with my swing - very frustrating. If anyone has a tip on the Xbox with the right stick on what you need to do differently, that'd be great -- as I'm in the camp that there is a legitimate issue with the swing on XB1. Though, I would love to be proven wrong so I can keep playing this game Nate

Nate, I am using right-stick on Xbox One. I used left-stick before the bug from this last update. I sometimes get 95%, but that's only about 2-5% of the swings I make. All others are 100%. I can't explain the motion, but one thing I try to do is "flick" the downswing. Don't actually force the stick all the way to the top like you are trying to break it.

There's nothing wrong with the game, you must practice what it takes to get full swings again. Dont agree, its happening on certain shots on certain holes whether that means its a lag issue i duno but its ruining my game.If im swinging wrong then why is it exactly 95% every time? that aint right. So its the games fault, not mine

All I know is that HB has said they changed the swing mechanic to be independent of the framerate... EDIT: Was this sarcasm? Or are you having these same problems that others are describing?

I will try different swings at some point tho.

This is probably a subject people will have to agree to disagree on. I can't believe that this is something HB intended. If it is then so be it and I guess those, like me, that are hitting exactly 95% as much as they are 100% will just have to deal with it and somehow try and find a solution but I cannot understand why it's only either a 95% swing or 100%. I'd also add that I've played dozens of golf games over the past 25 years and in none of those have I ever encountered any issues hitting 100% swings. As far as I'm concerned, bearing in mind we're talking about a video game (I've not played enough real golf to know the mechanics sadly but I do know how to take a full swing!), if you fully pull back and fully push forward your stick in a realistic manner then it should be a 100% swing and nothing less.

They changed the swing mechanic. Keep practicing what it takes to get 100%. I get some 95% shots when I don't swing right, but 98% of my shots are 100% if I mean to. There's nothing wrong with the game, you must practice what it takes to get full swings again. This isn't really the best idea or thought line. sure for an overall great player of the game it may not seem like a big deal but for those of us that have had the game for a year and are competing here on this site still in the lower levels(CC levels), it becomes an increasingly frustrating adjustment to the mechanic that there was no mention of. if they said "here's the deal, if you are off line with these set of 'guidelines' then you can expect your drive to be lowered by 5% power despite still hitting your intended shot shape" it'd be one thing. I can't even tell you what the difference is between my shots that were 100% and are now 95% or now when I hit a drive and it's 95% and then the next hole it's 100% for some odd reason. can you tell me what it takes to get a 100% swing rather than a constant 95% swing on the XB1? as I've read enough places, the PS4 suffered from this in the previous update but it was patched out if I'm to believe what I've read. I used to get the occassional sub-100% shots and I could usually tell right away that it was my fault(I'd say everytime I knew but whatever). whether I paused too long at the top of my backswing or didn't make a smooth back-forth motion or just overall muffed the swing mechanic. however the mechanic was changed drastically enough where people here and on the TGC forums are finding it frustratingly different. ***edit*** if it is true that the swing mechanic is now removed from the actual animation and framerate, that would explain some of it. at least I'd know and have a guideline on what I need to focus on or ignore for the desired 100% swing. I missed that post above, guess it got lost in my readings.

Played a full 18th holes with another TGCT member, I couldnget get more than 4 or 5 full power shots!! My only way to play it was to club up 1 or 2 clubs. Something that couldn't quite do with chipping and all that, it was even worse as there u need to be really accurate with the power.
FRUSTRATING

Did they actually change the swing mechanics or is just on a particular system? The reason I'm asking is I seem to get more 100% than ever I had before. The current tournament I only had 1 tee shot that was less than 100%. And I never do that. Yet I'm swinging the same as I usually do.
Edit: Never-mind, I see that it's XB1 only.

I'm playing on a PS4 and experienced the less than 100% issue the first day of the update. It was horrendous and within a few hours HB said they fixed a server error. Now, I am getting 95 to 99%, but mostly 100%. A couple observations. It only seems to be happening with tee shots with a driver. I've had no problems achieving 100% with irons. I do think the mechanics are now more sensitive to any slight reduction or variance in the forward click. And for me, I tend to be more cautious off the tee, so is it me? While it is frustrating, It does add some randomness to the game. I'm a low handicapper in real life and can tell you very few swings are ever identical. So for those that wanted added difficulty into the game, perhaps you are enjoying this? Most other golf games I played required a 3 click method and had some variance if you didn't click at the precise moments. If the 100% power was meant to be a sure thing 100% of the time, wouldn't there just be a button to push once for swing with nothing else required?
