I notice some serious differnces in distances when hitting shots. There is no consistency when hitting. Does one have to look at your character to see when is the optimum time to hit the ball. Wud like to hit the ball more consistent 90-100% more often. Just don't get it! Swing good one time and then 50%. I just don't get it. I hope they fix this in the future so that the worst you can hit it is 80%. won't be long till I quit this game and I just started. It is not fair or fun when you hit the ball more or less the same everytime and you get 50% swings. Getting sick of this fast.\ I need some help in knowing when to hit the ball and how to get 90 to 100% hit evertime. When I go one club up and try to hit the pin or green on the approach then I always go long and I am not even trying to hit it long. Just don't get it? ?? I need help. How do you good guys do it? I play the online tourneys and am usually around +5 to +12 over or worse. How do you guys hit the green everytime? I usually win my pga event tourneys, but those aren't against real people. This game is really in need of some upgrades where it becomes less hard to screw up your shot. I hope there is someone out there who can help me!!!!! I am getting tired of coming in last in tournaments. |

Like we explained in the "how to hold the controller still" thread you need to practise more, you have said yourself you are new and dont want to quit so soon so keep playing and you will improve.
What club set are you using?

Which club set are you using? If you are using Master drop down to Pro. If you are using Pro drop to Beginner. Using beginner until you ingraine the swing then move up. Shouldn’t take long.

One more thing. Nobody swings the same 100% of the time. If I take 60-70 swings, maybe 3 look the same.
Edit: I guess you mean full power, I read it wrong. Go to the range and hit balls. Try with a 8I at first. Get it down then hit 10 in a row, then move up to say 5i and keep doing until you can string them together. It will come to you. Hard to get playing rounds only.
Now for me, I naturally want to swing fast so I feel I need to force myself to slow down. I use simple words to synch to such as Tick—Tock

You are likely either starting your downswing way too early or having a quite long pause at the top of the swing. More likely the first.
You need to get the club to the apex (top) of the swing and then have a quick, yet smooth transition to the downswing.

Ive been known to use R-rated words on occasion, more so lately! |

IDK why these threads keep popping up? Like, there obviously isnt a foolproof way of doing things so just practice more.

I find doing a shot before each swing does the trick, usually of cinnamon whiskey.
By the 4th hole or so I find I don’t give a rat’s shriveled scrotum about my swing, or where the ball lands. HUGE stress-reducer.
To each their own, however.

Thanks for the input guys! One thing I am finding is that the distance of your swing is related to how straight your shot is. If you can keep your line within the blue marker then more likely you will get 100% distance on a shot. Going over water I find one has to hold the backswing a fraction of a second longer than on normal tee box or fairway shots. Guess they want guys putting their shots into the water. I moved down from masters clubs to Pro clubs. Noticed it gives a wider marker on shots than Master clubs. More room for error. Also put my difficulty level to very easy from easy. My last round since I made the changes in My PGA tournament round I was -14 under for 18 holes and made 8 birdies in a row. That's the best I have ever done. Ever. also set the VSync to 30 Hrz. Not sure if that made any difference. But hitting it straight is definitely linked to distance. This game is the most difficult golfing game I have ever played. sometimes wish it was easier. anyways. Thanks guys.

If you get P/P tempo and 100% swing power you will ALWAYS get the advertised distance. Your swing could look like a backwards 3 and it wouldn't matter.  |
