-23 after 2 for me. Slow start in rd 1 had me nervous but I caught my stride. Not sure if -23 makes the cut. Should be close looking at the amount of players still yet to tee off. Nice course by the way.

Might not be a good Day for someone as looks like they got the API fail. fadgewacker may have more info Yeah, definitely a bad Day at the office... Only pull in 2 seasons thru TGC2019, so hopefully nothing too serious. Might get a banging fit MILF appearance out of it though, so every cloud, and all that!

Yeah, gutted. Only just failed, but a fail nonetheless at a time when I was set up nicely in the playoffs. Think it was the wide fairways that tipped it over the edge- I just can't resist lofting up and smashing the hell out of it just to gain an extra 5y- and that usually gives me a bit of a hook. Definitely no exploiting going on though, don't want anyone to think I was trying to cheat them, so I've uploaded one of the rounds that failed.

That makes no sense those swings failed api. Again. I thought the push/pull thing was about swinging sideways to get the same exact big pull/push. Jeff is hitting slight pulls and the ball is starting left like he in fact hit slight pulls. If he would swing more left the ball would curve more left depending on how big the pull. I don’t understand why we force everyone to try and hit straight shots. No pros in real golf try to hit it straight. They mostly go with the ball flight their natural swing produces which also helps them avoid the two-way miss. It is nearly impossible to hit an exact straight shot irl. And I’m guessing if you shot traced all of Jeff’s shots, no two shots would curve the same amount. I thought that the repeatable big miss was the issue. Like swinging right on the edge of the swing not registering.

Hopefully the new game has swing path being able to control ball flight but I haven’t heard that mentioned Idt.

While I don't think it's an intentional cheat.. that does look like a swing line I would expect pulled from the API. Again, I think the new game fixes this issue.. at least I hope it does.

I recently watched a bunch of broadcast matchplay rounds from players in lower tours, no wonder API isn't set for all. I thought most of those guys would fail. I would've thought Jeff would pass after watching that vid (although borderline).

Well, almost every shot is a pull, with many finishing outside the blue... You play with feathers, you get your bum tickled, I suppose. Knowing what we know about the push / pull, I'd be very, very wary of playing that way, but it's caused you no problems to date... so why change. You sure it was R3 that was the problem though? Hopefully the new game has addressed this garbage and we can all crack on.

Like swinging right on the edge of the swing not registering. It makes a lot of sense, if you took any notice at all of the whole push / pull API debacle. I don't have the energy to explain what the problem is again... sorry. Regardless of what pros try to do in real life, the game is broken for wonky swings due to less dispersion variance on the edge / out of the cone, especially when lofting.

Oh, looks as if it's another bad day in the office for the intriguing Colin Morrison - up to 3 pulls for the season, not that it actually matters any more.

Hopefully the new game has addressed this garbage and we can all crack on. There were 3 rounds that failed, 2, 3 and 4. All failed marginally, and all looked pretty much the same to me. I just chose this one because it was my best score. I agree every shot has a pull, that's the natural arc of my thumb. The swing I'm trying for starts at the left edge of the blue at the bottom, touches the right edge in the middle and touches the left edge at the top. This gives a couple of yards of draw when I get it spot on. Like you say, I've had no problems with it in the past, and there's no point trying to change it now. Let's just hope in the new game people who swing like me, with controller and thumb in the most natural positon you can get, won't have to start watching you tube videos of fancy swings and grips for tips on how to pass API. I'm 99.99% sure I wouldn't have failed again anyway- I'm a quick learner when I'm getting my bum tickled.

Agreed - I hope to God that the shot dispersion is equal across the board this time. Not long to go now.

But you’re telling me hitting slight pulls/pushes has less dispersion than if you keep it in the blue? That’s absurd is it not? I don’t experience that all. And I turn feedback on once in a while to see what’s doing.

Yep, cos if you go a little too far off line you don’t get the same deviation penalty as you do in the cone, and lofted shots are much much more repeatable.

It's the same stuff over and over again. I wasn't disputing the rules, and I wasn't looking for sympathy- just showing that I got dq'd because I had a bad swing week, rather than aiming 10y right and swinging to 10 o'clock. The usual people are gonna take their usual sides, and no-one is gonna win the argument, because it's purely subjective. No point arguing about it. The bottom line is- I've got a swing that's gonna kick all your arses in 2K21. (except vitaly and brad obviously) Bring it on!
