I' not going to make you a chart cause it's pointless for me to do that for you as we all swing differently. What I will do is tell you how to make your own.
1st create a hole one the designer of a tee box surrounded by water make sure there is very little elevation difference from tee to water. Then create a patch of flat fairway in the middle of the water or close to the tee box just not on the tee box.
Now that you have that set up. Play the hole with the clubset and clubs you want to chart.
When figuring out different lofts you need points of reference that you can consistently use. Alot of people use the letters in draw and fade as well as fully lofting. But this game gives you better points of reference than before. Whenever you lift a club at a certain point your sweetspot meter (the blue space in your shot feedback meter) will shrink. These are the best points you' want to use. It does 2 things. 1st lets you know the exact spot you can lift to for the distance you need and it lets you know the risk you are facing to complete said shot (full loft has a very small sweet pot so accuracy will be bad ).
A couple things to note. Your sweet spot meter is different from tee to fairway to rough to sand. So technically you' want to do it for each lie but don't necessarily have to.
It took me about 20 minutes to get the info I needed and may spend another 20 fine tuning.
Happy lofting folks.
Ps I typed this on my phone I'll fix the errors when I get home.

*Disclaimer* I am very much an excel, chart, and number guy so this might not be for everyone!! Having said that, I hope at least 1 person! (lol, seriously) finds this useful. So Cheers ahead of time. Just make your own loft/grid box overlay (like they used to have in TGC1). You'll need Custom Desktop Logo: customdesktoplogo.wikidot.com/download and you'll also need the Paint.Net: www.getpaint.net/download.html . |

Can someone explain why it needs to be done on a custom hole and why the driving range is not a good place to test these yardages out? |

What's the point of the water? Did I miss something?

Water shows you the exact landing spot.

Because you have to wait out the roll of any shot on the driving range whereas if you screw up your swing or get info you want, you can just hit rewind shot on your own hole. |

I'm surprised you people have not created a a software to let the game play for you too. Charts and crap like this is playing virtual golf on auto pilot. |

Charts are OK - real life golfers do it. The overlay is an artificial aid tho - not really in the spirit of the competition.

It's not the same. Whatever they do can't be control to such certantify like you can here. There's isn't this, I'll click 3 times here and I'll get this exact number. I find it sad, but maybe I just see it differently. I play the game just like irl, with feeling. Otherwise it's boring. I'd rather be good on my own, be inconsistent as hell but using overlays, putt cheat sheets and loft chart ain't my thing. |

How on earth are they cheat sheets. People just want to know how far a club goes with whatever loft. I don't see anything wrong with that at all. You shouldn't care if people do that, just play the way you want.  |

I play by feel too - for exactly the same reason - it's just boring using a chart. I like the dopamine reward for a bit of good judgement But it's not against any rules & there's no way it could be policed anyway - so the very definition of a moot point. |

So we agree and play the same way, so we are on a similar page . Yes, you are right. And that's why I've never been so vocal about it, but when I just started to see way more people doing this, and then seeing these sad overlay things kinda made me share my opinion. But again, it's just mine and can't change anything nor controlled like you mentioned. But well, just wanted to share my feelings. As I'm a bit disappointed to see all of this. I've been hearing as well that a lot of people are sticking things to their TVs, creating similar things for putting :/. Then you add all of this autopilot crap and add the easier set of clubs and you have killed the game for me and you see it a lot on those of those random online games. Anyway, I'm out, don't even know how I ended up here lol. |
