Why does chipping from heavy rough yield more backspin than light rough, fairway and fringe? We should be getting the most run out on chips from heavy rough, but that doesn’t seem to ever be the case.

The chipping on this game is not ideal. There is no consistency with how the ball reacts.
It's very frustrating, but we all have to deal with it

It's a dead horse rotting on the HB forums. Feel free to beat it over there. I have given up.

It probably the biggest problem with new game for me. I have no clue what's going to happen with the ball and as I am still finding my feet with the swing I am missing a lot of green. So frustrating.

Why does chipping from heavy rough yield more backspin than light rough, fairway and fringe? We should be getting the most run out on chips from heavy rough, but that doesn’t seem to ever be the case. One of my biggest frustrations in this game. Just had a 20 yard pitch from heavy rough onto quite a steep downhill section of green. Hit perfect, perfect inside the cone and the ball stopped dead. That just can,t happen. Another time, even into an upslope the ball may run on forever with the same green firmness. Unless I'm missing something vital here, there is just no consistency at all. How can you learn or improve when this is the case. Still players are shooting ever more ridiculously low scores every week. Totally disillusioned with the game at the moment. |

Im finding chipping on this game from under 10 yards almost as easy as the famed 9 iron chip on TGC1.
Anything 6 yards or less im holing or missing my an inch or so.
Yeah theres some quirks with it, stopping far quicker out of the rough than fringe or fairway but once you get used to it, it can be deadly.
Playing for chips on occasion is definitely still an option for me.

But for some longer chips or pitches, or from the rough, how can you get used to something when you've no idea how the ball will react from one shot to the next, even when you execute the shot well. |

I am getting an idea how the ball will react though simply through trial and error, and in those cases im adding yardage on the shot or taking it off, learning from past experiences.
Its in no way an exact science and is harder to predict than the easier lie shots yes but its do-able.

You can learn all you want but a chip shot should not check on a dime out of the rough.
That is my only problem with it minus the horrible animation with the wrist all jack up looking.

The point is that the ball shouldn’t react the way it does from heavy rough. |

I never played the first version, but I have seen a few references on the forums to the lofted 9 shot in TGC1, and always wondered what it was. |
