Welp, I guess it's back to the fish tails. Please tell me you don't get pulled for making the same fishtail every time.

The first Euro event was subtitled "No Flicks Tour." I don't think you will find much sympathy here. Yep. Understood.

Well that was a most intense round. I had one interruption from the wife which caused me to lose focus and cost me a bogey. Thankfully I bounced back the next hole and birdied it to get that shot back. Overall I parred a few holes that I felt are birdie holes (like #1) and birdied a couple holes that par is a very good score. I even managed an eagle. I got lucky on two holes where a stupid decision that wasn't part of the original game plan resulted in a 18 foot birdie/par putt that managed to find the bottom of the cup. My swing was still wonky on a few holes but my putter was really hot with only 22 putts for the round. -12 for the first round, not bad for 77% GIR. As for your API issues, I'm not sure if it was a flick swing or something else but I can say that you are not alone. Not using a controller all I can go by is what the Admin have publicly stated as reasons for scores being pulled (ie dead zones, flick shots not registering, ect) If you were a mouse player I could come up with a few possibilities being DPI, old hard coded mice that don't allow DPI adjustments, angle snapping, ect. In the end it sucks but I'm sure you can find a way to adapt as others have.
Yeah I think you can get pulled if it is the same fishtail for multiple shots. The API is about shot dispersion. When too many shots are seemingly identical to others, that is when bad things start happening.

So in a golf game mind you, we have to avoid replicating the same swing...What? I'd like to see the PGA elites dispersion data. I bet there isn't much deviation with the scores they consistently put up.

I bet there isn't much deviation with the scores they consistently put up. Who would you like to see? Who do you class as Elite? When you are talking about a game that measures down to the 6-8th decimal, with pretty much anything past the 3rd or 4th is meaningless, getting two shots within the same hundredth range of dispersal is uncommon but not unheard of, getting 5, 6, 7, 8, 10 like some charts that have been shared is a problem. Conversely having shots come up with incomplete data is also a problem. If you take a look at the shared charts those that failed the API would have 15-20+ of the 50 or so shots that are looked at in the same one to three deviation distances from 0.
I also believe that a couple of those players you mentioned have been hit by the API before. They adjusted and are fine now.

Like Cusehokie, blueorf, crawsey etc.. You know who/what I mean. How can I post a pic of mine inhere? Cusehokie - Not straight enough to get pulled. Plenty of video evidence. Blueorfe - Best player by some distance and has been for a while. Has had similar API issues to I and others much earlier this year but never had API flaged in an event, changed controllers / setups and having no issues now. Crawesy - Not sure what to say about Crawesy and this is neither the time nor the place, nor are we at any great liberty to do so, but he has a funny curtailed swing. It's obviously not setting off the API so nothing wrong there, and the guy chips and putts well when he doesn't knock it stiff. Be aware - The API system is trying to make sure that you don't have an unfair advantage over the field... Over the likes of Mitch, Brad and Chris. Your swing was obviously showing tighter dispersion than any of them by an incredible margin. As I say, I had a similar issue. I was RINSING it when the game came out, was to easy tee to green. Had a word with admin, and they advised Id have an issue when the season was underway in likelihood (with the same full swing I used in TGC2), so I changed controller, that got flagged so I changed swings to a fuller swing as I was (freehand, no aids) short swinging that second controller, then that full swing was flagged, and I ended up getting a brand new DS4, carried on with my full swing and no issues to report of since. It's a pain in the arse, but that's life, and you're not getting picked on, I can assure you of that. To get your image on the thread, upload it to an image hosting site (I generally use IMGUR) and then get the image URL link and add that via the image adding function.

I'm social media stupid. Don't even know what imgur is. But I had 11 in the middle finger bar and 5 in the one next to it. Is that crazy ridiculous? The standard deviation example they sent me looked like novice swing data all over the chart.

Just short swinging doesn’t produce that.

The standard deviation example they sent me looked like novice swing data all over the chart. That chart that they sent you is most likely the average swinger or someone like Doyley or Jeff. I have seen some of the more elite charts when they shared and even the elite have a wide dispersal left and right of centre. You gotta remember each of those columns are like .025 from one another. So if 0.0 is dead straight, the next one right or left would be .025, then .050 and .075. (Note these may not be the exact numbers but it does well for illustration).
So in that second column you could have a swing of .025875 and another .027093 and a third .030820. The normal person doesn't hit the same column more than 2 or 3 times in a round, which is why you see the data showing swings all over the place. On the screen the difference between a .025 and .050 swing might be a pixel or two. The admin have created the API after literally 100s of thousands of shots over many years. They know what an average deviation chart looks like. They know what an elite chart looks like. So you being tagged is a result of either too tight of a grouping or incomplete data and comes from information gathered over 3+ years and probably a couple million shots by this time. In other words it sucks but deal with it. Your options are to change your swing to a fuller swing, try another style of swing, try another controller, quit or continue to be pulled. Up to you.
Of course you can publicly ask Jeff or another admin to pull your data and ask them to publicly post it here and I'm sure we can help you better understand what is the dealio.

I guess I've become one of those straight shooters I hear about with my recent flicking on my new PS4 and controller it came with. Honest. But okay. I appreciate feedback from you players.

Going back to this tournament. I'm quickly realizing that with these conditions, there are a few holes like 4 and 8 in the first round that if you can birdie you are gaining a shot on the field with only like 12 birdies between the two holes. Beyond that -10 is quite doable but where I see the person winning this will be who can get those eagles on the par 5s. Leader had two in round one and is ahead of those that had only one. In round two 3 of the 4 are easily reached in two with the fourth pretty damn close with two perfect shots. So I think this tourney will come down to the one with the most eagles.

But it's a brand new controller! This is exhausting and a lot of work for a video game.
