Just going to vent for a second. I can score E or a few over on master clubs. However, I am quite literally not aiming at the green or the fairway and playing the slow or fast tempo miss. Quite frankly, when I aim at the pin, that is the absolute last place the ball is going. Again, no rhyme or reason to slow or fast. I can smash the mouse forward and still be very slow.

Good evening,
I haven't read through all the messages in here, but I just wanted to report that I haven't had a single perfect downswing off the tee as well. The only shot I have had perfect downswings with, and a bunch, is the pitch shot.
I don't mind high scores at all. In fact I am a supporter of a tougher game. However, at this point it feels like I don't have a chance to hit perfect at all, and this is rather frustrating. It's the line between difficult and impossible that makes the difference.

They have all of these cool shop shaping features and spin control, and I am just sitting here trying to guess where on earth my tee shot will go.

I'm still getting better, but I'm also still experiencing no rhyme or reason for swings that go astray. In the last game you understood when you hit a bad shot, because you could tell you were slow or fast on the swing. That's not happening here and IMO is the problem. I don't know what controller users are thinking, but I think the tempo window is too small. It's both too small on what's allowed to be calibrated, and then too punishing afterwards as to what's a perfect shot.

Have you had the chance to "upgrade" your clubs yet to some more forgiving types? It will definitely help.

Update.
I have upgraded all my clubs to all be more forgiving. They aren't going as far but with calibration, I'm hitting more and more perfects. One thing about calibration. Before I was trying to just get a smooth tempo but then i realized to get perfects before, I had to transition much quicker. It really felt i was going to hit FAST or VF half the time but I'd be perfect. So I calibrated using that type of swing and since then, getting about 30% perfect. More so, I'm just barely missing the cone when I do. I was on the Pro difficulty and managed a -7. So time to move up to masters again.
I do think it is important to try at a lower level to get an idea what the game is looking for to get a perfect. I have an idea now, so I'm going to try to dial it in on masters.

Cseanny explains this very well in the thread ' tempo, Tempo, TEMPO! '

However, on a side note, this can't be an acceptable solution in the long run, as it should still be possible to hit at least some perfects with less forgiving clubs as well.

The best way to tell is join the HB societies as mentioned, play the courses and ask in the API section for an API check to make sure you aren't failing. For the record I'm at 1500 right now. I tend to be a little higher than what the lower limit is to ensure if i have a really good round, I won't fail. It has to be the TGCTours societies. I am not set up to check any other societies. I could do it but it would be a pain.

Imo, Definitely system related and nothing to do with HBs ability to code it properly.

Has anyone found the key that allows us to place the ball during putting and chipping practice? It is supposed to be 'E' but that doesn't work. I'm wondering if it is just broke or if it is another key and it is mislabelled?

Others have done the same test as me and come up with similar results. I might try it again tonight or tomorrow. I just built a new pc and reinstalled everything, so it should be pretty clean and a better test of the swing.

It took me 9 months of testing and videos to show that there was indeed "ballsquirt" in TGC 1. HB denied it all that time and then one day, they admitted it and took it out. It was just a random 2-5% variance they built into the swing that would happen 20% of the time to make it more 'realistic'. I truly think they learned their lesson and wouldn't put that in again so there has to be other underlying factors. The fact that you did the test and so did a person on PS4 and other platforms and got a similar result, shows it is not confined to one platform, which is good.
Watching this game progress from TGC 1 to 2019, I have learned that with the amount of raw data that goes into a single shot and the mind blowing data that comes out of it down to 20 decimal places, a little blip of 1-2 frames dropped can have a significant impact on tempo and I'm inclined to say it is something along that avenue. But do keep testing and showing the devs your results.
As I found out in 2019 and in TGC 2, there are times the devs miss something. The mouse swing was absolutely broken in 2019 for the first 3 months and then one day the devs went, "oops we did miss something and fixed it. Sorry!" and it was much better.

I sure hope that this is something that can get patched - and the sooner the better. These inconsistencies are really, really annoying. It's like trying to guess how much you're going to slow down every time you press the brake pedal in your car. Sure, you can drive, but it's not a good experience.
