Been playing for a couple weeks, and was curious if anyone knows the answer to a couple things....
Putting stroke? Is the power simply determined by how far back the putter head goes? ie: not how far back I pull the stick, or how fast/far I push it? I just pull the stick back a little to start the putter moving, but I'm really unsure about the follow thru and if that effects power.
Swing tempo. It seems this is club dependent, is that right? It seems I have to be much quicker on the downswing with a wedge, for instance. And certainly when I'm doing something like chipping, it seems even more so.
Is tempo a set thing? As in the game is programmed to have a set tempo. Or is the tempo determined by how consistent my back/down swing is relevant to each other?
Any tips for tempo? It seems to me you want to make sure you don't pause at the top of your swing, although it seems you can get away with a little pause on woods, and the high irons. But I still sometimes just completely flub a shot when I feel like I hit it no different than the one before.

But I still sometimes just completely flub a shot when I feel like I hit it no different than the one before. Someone will be for sure more helpful than me on the whole topic, but i'll try to answer to some question, i hope it can help you a bit  About putt, my feel is that what matters is simply how much you pull back/push forward the stick, not how much fast. But to create "your own" tempo and follow it consistently is probably in any case the best possible way to learn how to deal with every distance on every kind of putt. About tempo related to clubs, the truth is that i'm still not so sure i have different feelings, maybe for the downswing i wait a bit more with a wedge than with a driver or a wood (i find tempo easier with the longest clubs, for some reason), but it can be just my impression. What is sure for me is that tempo plays very differently on chips/flop shots..and pitches too. I mean that, especially if you use a XBox controller (or, like me, a PS4 controller on PC), to execute (for example) a very short chip shots, my advice is to learn how to obtain consistently a slight slow backswing, because accelerating your backswing (that is probably the most istintive thing to do), at least for me the most probable result anytime is a 75/85% backswing, BUT unpredictably Very Fast every time, then losing totally any control on distance...if my explanation makes sense But i noticed that the behavior of tempo on this kind of strokes may vary a lot depending your console and controller..then the best thing you can do is probably to try and to see by yourself what works better for you on every single situation/shot. But, so said, to learn how to obtain consistently a slight slow/fast backswing, when you need a way to lose/gain some yard, is in any case something i really suggest. Because, on backswing, the dispersion your ball will suffer in the direction is very little, compared with the exact same amount of slow/fast downswing..and to learn how to manage this thing could save your a$$ if, for example, you must face a long par 3 in which you miss the proper club..or if you need some extra yard to reach a green under regulation, etc... With Pro Clubs is something pretty easy to obtain..with Master Clubs is a bit more stressful..but is still definitely possible with a good % of success. My advice, to face all these situation is definitely to practice a lot, just looking for the shot which you feel more confortable.. It must be something you can repeat succesfully everytime, so it will work even when you'll must use that shot under pressure. Because one of the most great things of this game is that there is not a single way to success. Anyone can find his our own method, nicely working..then just try to find yours..the most well fitting with your style of play. Ah..other little advice about short game, is to never forget that flop shots can be really unpredictable on this game, especially when you are out from fairway. The lie, there, is NEVER trustable. Even if you have a lie of 67/75%, the ball can easily fly A LOT too much of what you coukd ever think so..work on your strategy to avoid the most you can these situations. Often is way better to stay with a full wedge than with a flop shot. For all the rest, you'll learn just playing (and some other guy will answer for sure better than me to these and other questions ) Good luck! |
