Downhill/ uphill doesn't effect wind. You add the wind on if its in your face, & take it off if it's with u

so its the wind times 1.5 does this apply for downhill also just minus yds The answer to this thread is read the post with the link to the Google spreadsheet and that will tell you everything you need to know. |

i also found that the shorter the iron the more the wind affects it.

i also found that the shorter the iron the more the wind affects it. Not so much for distance but in compensating for crosswinds this is definitely true |

I most of the time guess. Club up/down for any elevation more than 20ft and loft how I feel is good. Nothing mathematical I put into it. Probably why I shoot over par always..

I did some tests. So basically 1.5 x w for headwind. . 75 for helping. If it is 45* try. 75 for head and .5 for helping.
Also it even affects on pitches and flops as well.
As for the roll. Slow to med greens. I remove 2-6 yards depending on club. Med fast 6-8. Fast 10-13. Now I am closer then I was but there is some fine tuning to do.

Does anyone alter distance for a 90 degree crosswind?
I don't but I'm beginning to wonder if I should - can't seem to get the aiming consistent on full crosswinds either. Sometimes I overcompensate and end up wide, other times the ball seems to fly sideways and I haven't allowed enough (usually this happens with a lakeside hole and I end up swimiming)
So team, best method for crosswinds? Alter aim or shape shot and what to do about distance?

Alter aim or shape shot and what to do about distance? I've tried two different methods. 1) use draw/fade to to count act the wind. 2) click method. Both, to me, end up around the same distance that I think the shot is going to go. I would even say with the drawing/fading into the wind the distance is a little more consistent then "riding" the wind. Like I mentioned above, I still am tweaking it bit by bit to see what works best. Problem of course is power and straightness of the shot makes it difficult to replicate over and over to concrete numbers. So it really is a "feel" type shot into cross winds. Though I do not like how the wind makes the ball move vs real life. Makes it difficult to tell my self how to play the shot when real life brain says to aim one way and the VG says a little more! |

Would love to try the fade/draw technique when playing a crosswind. I notice there are two bars(the third being the end). Has anyone found what mph wind the first bar would correspond to (assuming its a true 90% cross wind). This technique seems to have a couple of advantages to me and would be great for anyone to try. I'm wondering can it be used always, or is it more situational ie. narrow tree lined fairway, dogleg wind blowing wrong way, etc. Thanks in advance to any that reply.

A lot of it comes with practice. I've learnt the different elevations just by trying different clubs, changing the loft on the club etc. I'm getting better as i play each round
