-24. I can feel something different with the tempo after the last patch. I'm not practicing anymore so maybe I'm wrong.

I find the swing results less random since the patch tempo wise but I'm hitting it everywhere but putting it down to lack of practice
It seems different but better since the patch IMO

I used to look at the controller and use the backswing audio for my tempo cue (only way I could keep the tours straight) and this generally results in slow backswings now. Might be me. I can p-p it 90% of the time if I watch the screen, but can't keep the damn thing straight!!

Well rounds 1-3 shot -1 Round 4 I figured out how to play and had a -7 or -8. Maybe there's hope for me yet Better than me Moe. Played my first rounds in the society last night. First 2 at Magnolia. Whopping +1 so far. This being the technical course that it is for approaches, and me being about as accurate as a guy wizzing off a roof into a coffee cup on the ground...its a lesson in scrambling for me.
How do you guys deal with the tempo thing on PS4 (new patch) right now? Especially those shooting -8 or better per round?
Seems like if I pull back and push forward faster, I can keep it in the cone most of the time, but hitting like 85% shots. This method of swing was working for me before the latest patch.
If I pause at top of swing then push forward, I spray the ball every where. Like the game becomes hyper sensitive.
On PC, you can pull the swing back slower and more deliberately, slight pause, then flick it forward. In the cone 90+% of the time. Tried that several times during my rounds on me PS4 pro and got very fast downswing, or fast, or slow up fast down...
I will figure it out. Until then, I am the sacrificial lamb...Take my money.....please!
Regards tempo on PS4, I just try to make the backswing tempo to downswing transition as fluid as possible. Forgive me if I'm teaching my Gran to suck eggs here, but you need to pull the stick all the way back, wait for the animation / timing to suit a P-P and then flick the stick forward. If you let go of the stick, at all, you're stuffed. I find that downswings are best flicked forward positively, but gently, if that makes sense? If I really whack the stick forward, even on P-P swings, left she carves. If I just to say tickle the forward stop, it's all good. Problem is, that deft touch on the downswing is tricky to replicate and I often find my greasy thumb slipping off the stick!

fadgewacker - thanks for that. Reading what you wrote, had to check the website I was in. Thinking I was gonna get busted by the porn police or sumpin.
But yeah, I am having issues with the whole "flicking" thing now. If I don't flick hard enough I get a banana slice/hook. If I flick too hard I get a fast downswing. Whereas before patch I could flick the hell outta the thing and get pretty straight shots. During my rounds last night I found some limited success with a sort of follow through motion. Moving the stick forward fast and holding it at the forward motion. I would love to look at the screen instead of the controller, but the only way I could do that and stay in the cone at all would be with some device that I am sure would get me exiled (LOL)...

I use a claw grip and flick her back and forward releasing her in the middle can't be constantly flicking her she'd be screaming for a break.
But yes your flicks must be gentle but not to soft or your actions won't even register.
To hard and your thumb goes all over the place and you could end up in the wrong hole .
So yes gentle consistent flicking is the way to get standing ovations .
Ok back to golf season 2 will start Friday

I can only apologise to you all for unintentionally derailing the thread...
Once the wife clears off to bed I'll settle down to some rhythmic stick flicking while she sorts herself out.

Played the current event last night. Sorry do not remember much as it was all a haze... I do know I shot -5 in it though. Still major suckage. But at least I am under par...unlike at Magnolia. Progress...progress. Well until the next 'Firmware update"
