I've now played the game for about 2 months and i've made noticeable improvements to my entire game playing both on PC and Ps4. I've ran into some mouse issues in a few of the events which flag me for some events so I am considering the switch back to ps4. My only issue with Ps4 is i feel as if i don't hit the ball straight enough, with my mouse I feel more in control.
I was wondering if you guys had some tips for keep the shots straight on the ps4 end as I use player clubs on there but am a tour club guy over on PC.
Thanks guys as always.

I'm not on PS4 I'm on Xbox but I'm guessing the swing would be the same. I always take a couple of practice swings just a couple of swing backs and count each time I hit the top of the swing. I'll have a look at the pad and couple of times during each shot. The practice swings can also give you a tempo as well. I hardly hit straight or perfect but I get a bit of consistency then tailor my game to suit that.

The tempo isn't the issue i can get perfect perfect on the tempo but I just can't seem to consistently hit straight shots, I don't mean 100% perfect but it's usually pushing towards either side of the cone, i'd like to get it a few notches in more. |

Look only at your controller....holding it in front of your screen, so you have the game in the background. Perform the swing while visually focussing in the 12 - 6 spots on the controller. You can use the sound/background visual of the game to give you additional swing feedback.
Just like real golf....keep your head down, complete the swing, then look up. Some have gone so far to mark the 12 -6 spots on their controller stick.
Different people have different experiences, but I find that I usually get a perfect/perfect if there’s like a quarter second pause at the top of the swing, and if my backswing is marginally fast for a real life swing, and the downswing is marginally slower than what you’d think it should be. Good tempo’s really hard to explain...just have to get there on your own....

Have you tried your controller on PC?
I used mouse for ages, then went to (XB1) controller in April, and the controller is FAR easier to use than the mouse was.

“I don't look at it but i know what feels right.” Sounds like a middle-aged guy looking for his wife’s g-spot.... |

Perfect/perfect is not always perfect. Sounds to me your tempo is a touch off. The perfect/fast/slow have ranges. If you on the edge of perfect you won’t hit a straight shot. When you hit a true perfect it will sound much more distinct and that means you hit the the square.

You can use your PS4 controller on PC - so no need to buy anything new. You might find it (the controller) plays differently on PC than it does on PS4 |

You might find it (the controller) plays differently on PC than it does on PS4 Yeah I actually got just the software working to connect the ps4 and use it on my PC. I feel it plays more accurate on PC than Ps4 |

When you hit a true perfect it will sound much more distinct and that means you hit the the square. Yep! You can here that “ smack” when you hit the sweet spot. I personally use the “look only at the controller , finger on top, thumb on the bottom “ method and it’s been pretty good to me. Mind you, I use players clubs only. Tried the same method with tour clubs and it just didn’t feel the same. This game is all about feel. |
