I've been fiddling with my settings and I normally run about 2600DPI for my every day tasks but there is no way I can use this for golf. It quickly turns swings into shanks. Lowering it to 800DPI or so usually gives me the best results.
I have also found that the heaver Corsair M95 is better for my game instead of using the lighter Corsair Sabre which is under 100grams. Both of these mice are great but the heavier one seems to make the swing flow better, whereas the lighter one will stray from time to time. What is also nice is while angle swapping is nice to have, it doesn't make every shot of mine 100% straight. I still find that I have a tendency to pull my putts to the left if I'm being lazy. That is what I love about this game, is you still have to concentrate with each shot and take nothing for granted. Just today I was playing and thought i had an easy 3 foot tap in only to move my mouse too quickly forward in my putt and have it zoom 20 yards across the green. Heh.

I think for games where there is a high importance on drawing a straight line, using software assistance such as 'angle snapping' is definitely on the dubious side of fair play.
I use a mouse to play, but I stick to using the stock windows drivers, and don't even bother installing the software that comes with it. I keep the sensitivity at my normal everyday use setting.

I would agree with you if this angle swapping allowed me to hit a straight shot every time without fail. When we first started the tour I asked about it and did some testing. I can tell you (and you can look at my games) I'm no where near 100%. |

If I'm not mistaken, what angle snapping does is if you move the mouse in a horizontal or vertical motion, it will draw a straight line if you are within a couple of degrees. So you're never going to be able to shoot 100% straight 100% of the time, but it will allow you to shoot 100% straight when instead you are a couple of degrees out. I don't know how much of a difference in-game that will make to your shot, and obviously you will still have to be somewhat accurate for the angle snapping to kick in.
I imagine that if you turned that function off, you wouldn't notice much of a difference. Just trying to inform what that software does.
EDIT: Perhaps a good way to see the effect is to open up good ol' Paint and draw a few lines (as if you were taking a shot).

I understand what it is supposed to do, but I can tell you that it isn't doing it for me with any success  Just played around and double bogeyed a hole from putting for par 2 feet away cause mouse shanked way left. I am thinkign the game turns it off or something cause I see no help from it. |

If this is the case then it is unfortunate because this should OBVIOUSLY not be allowed in the tournaments however would be hard to police. If we on PS4 swing a couple of degrees out, we get a couple of degrees out... it goes without saying this should be the same for PC users and anyone using angle snapping is therefore using an unfair advantage |

If someone has a mouse that can use angle swapping all the time, the administrators would be able to see that with playing their ghost i'm assuming because they wouldn't miss.. ever. I did a little testing with four separate mice, logitech g710, g602, Corsair m95 and Sabre and at least on my system it doesn't look like it does much good on or off, so i'm assuming the game itself turns it off or disables it somehow.
That was never the point of this post, what i do find that does help is turning the DPI down. Gotta be careful, too low and it is a problem. Still gotta find that sweet spot, but I can't imagine DPI tuning would be deemed illegal.

I wish mouse wasn't an option, it just opens the doors tooooo wide.

I wish mouse wasn't an option, it just opens the doors tooooo wide. I use a microsoft xbox 360 controller,but i have got a razer naga and with the razer synapse software i can up my dpi to 5600 and can enable x-y sensitivity which has a slider and can reduce the sensitivity,to me that is a big no no.Nothing should be used to help keep you straight if you can't hit straight with you're mouse then tough you should still not be using anything to help you keep it straighter than default settings.To me this is unfair advantage and should be deemed as such and with that should come the penalties that straight shooters have.Just my opinion of course  |

i agree jimgem, i use a roccat kone pure color edition, dpi can go up to 8200, with a fully adjustable x and y axis functions, if i really wanted to, i could use my mouse over my controller and join the strait shooters club, or just make it look like im just that much better at hitting straighter shots all the time. but none of thats no fun, playing strait up with the wired xbox 360 is much more satisfying
