I've been playing the last few weeks with a brand new stock xb1 controller rather than my day one edition and I can feel the difference. I have bought an Elite controller mainly for other games and I have tried it with the golf club but the sticks are different lengths so it would take some getting used too, I know you can tweak the axis on them but that's not something I would do but I am aware you can do that on Horie's that you can use on PS4 and PC anyway. If people want to cheat they will find a way but to me there is no point as your only cheating yourself in the long run, I might try using my Elite for the next couple of tournaments so if the committee want to check my API results feel free to do so. DoyleyIt will be used just as it came straight out the box.

OK, here's the deal:
The crew at TGC can check the API to see if you're hitting shots so perfect that it's inhuman. If they find that, you're gonzo. No human being an hit it as perfectly as someone who tunes their axis to hit it straight each time.
Bottom line: don't tune the axis for TGC, you'll be fine.

In my opinion the XBox elite shud be banned as it allows players to adjust thumbstick sensitivity...that alone shud be enough for it to be banned. I do not really play games on PC, but I am pretty sure you can adjust mouse sensitivity as well, should we ban PC gamers from using a mouse to play the game?

U raise a very fair point, but iv decided im not gonna take part in these discussions anymore. Im pissing into the wind unfortunately.

Not really sure why this is even a big issue. It is not hard to hit it straight. The challenge is doing the math and calculations hitting into the green to get it close.

A guaranteed straight shot player will perform better than a player who is usually a couple of pixels off in either direction. Straighter lines equal lower scores unfortunately.

The next tournament I'm going to play the first round with my stock XB1 controller and then play the next three rounds with my elite controller using the three different length left stick starting with the shortest to the longest and see how I score, it would be interesting to see if any differences show up on the API. I will not be altering anything to do with the axis so I won't be straight shooting. I would be interested if the different lengths changed my putting stats. DoyleyI'm on the Euro tour if anyone is interested.

No worries les, I get reports after every event - you'll hear from me if you are on it

I do not own an elite controller. That being said after researching this controller the sensitivity of the sticks can be adjusted, however I don't think these adjustments would be significant enough to promote straight shooting. The controller can always be reset to default, which would probably be the same sensitivity as a standard controller. If someone were using this controller and thought the sensitivity settings would cause them problems with TGCT, they could set it back to default. You can change the configuration as many times as you like. You can have 2 configurations saved on the controller and have (I believe from reading reviews) 256 other configurations saved either on the hard drive or cloud. The price has deterred me from purchasing one.

So you're saying you can adjust (lessen) the sensitivity of the stick, but you don't see how this would be a problem? And how is the fact that you have the option to reset the controller back to default relevant at all?

For the guys that have mastered the math it can be that one shot with a couple of pixels deviation over 72 holes that leaves a 20 footer and makes the difference. Is it anything like golf - no, but this negative birdie race golf is unfortunately how the game plays.

That means nothing and does nothing to assuage the concerns about the controller.
I don't know much about the controller, but if it can indeed reduce the sensitivity of the analog stick such that shot line deviation is lessened, as you seem to be suggesting is the case, then that is a huge problem and if the controller can be detected it should be banned.

Then this opens up a huge can of worms for all the people who bought the controller, being told by the people that actually run this thing, that it was okay to use and then suddenly being told, sorry, we changed our mind. Will the folks who run this little shindig refund the purchases of all the players who bought that controller being told that it was okay to buy? Um, yeah, I didn't think so.
