Putting I've got no trick. This will probably not make much sense...but...here's my "feel" for distance in 2k: similar but slightly slower pace of backswing while expecting a quicker on-screen animation (for visual reference), then just before I think I'm at the correct amount of power based on the feel from the old game - my mental feel on the longest putts was something like "wait for it...wait for it...pull" in 19, I guess, really hard to explain - I pull the trigger. So in the most simple terms, I feel like I'm putting in a way that times out in the old game to a distance which would leave me short of the hole. I've been really surprised at the number of putts I've gotten with "perfect" power according to the shot feedback thing (which doesn't always mean perfect distance obviously), but that quick-trigger pull based on my feel in the old game seems to be working so far...sometimes, at least. I've always had to anticipate on-screen animation since I play on a potato with wires running through it (low end PC), which is why the little putter stick bug thing was such a pain in the ass early on, but now I just try to time my movement and ignore the animation as best I can. Far from perfect, but it's my working method at the moment, and if I get in a good grove while playing quickly, it seems to work fairly well...until it doesn't

I think perfect has a big influence on coding. & your right, perfect down slopes aren't always perfect. But don't go to far away. In 2019 towards the end I was getting a snatchy swing with fast back strokes & putting changed from pulling slightly back to going back, forth in 1 smooth motion. Both have helped with timing on this game. I've no visual reference, just muscle memory with one smooth back & forth...

R2 on silverback, best round to date. What was the final score? Tried watching on my phone and couldn’t believe you play a round in under 14 minutes. Your wife must love how fast you are. 😃

This is how I like to try to play. As in 19 I pretty regularly use tempo to cover gaps between clubs, with the overswing being a tool that I take advantage of as well. I do pull a lot of shots but when it all comes together it sure is pretty. I got a call on hole 9 and had to leave.. maybe could have perfect f9 if not for that.

Heres my R3.
Not sure why i uploaded this rather than R2, since R2 was a lower score, but was particularly proud of the last two putts, and also the two driver/driver/putt eagles.
Just going to make a point of saying how nice it is that no-one is b%&ing about short swinging or flicking any more, I'm using exactly the same methods as TGC1, TGC2 and TGC2019, and since I'm no longer competing with the guys at the top, noone is complaining about my "flick" action. How fickle lol....

How fickle lol.... Love ya Dave. Btw I didn’t see any short swings in the video. So why would there be anything to complain about? It was the fact people leading the tour had short swings that caused an uproar. If HB fixed the game to not permit it anymore (your video seems to prove that), then yes we’ve all moved onto other sh%$ like red fasts and phantom putting changes. 😂
