Trying to gauge who is doing what. Should be exciting.

All tempos must be utilized in order to shoot the best possible scores. You need to have all the shots.

Currently my swing is based on achieving a white slow, perfect, white fast. More white fasts show up with my swing with an average of 99-98 percent power. Perfects are still hard to get at times. My FIRs are improving. Average rounds tend to be at about +10 (Whiskey Dunes practice rounds +6, +6, +11 and last night on high winds, firm greens...+8. I'm improving as 4 days ago I had a difficult time breaking +20. Q school will definitely challenge me. I plan on participating in at least the initial 8 rounds and further week of qualification rounds, if needed, before deciding if I should drop down to the...ahem...Beer League to further develop my skills. I'm being very realistic here.

All hole dependant. Red/grey fast off the tee most holes. Perfect/Slight slow if dogleg left to right. I try for perfects on my irons. (Something clicked yesterday and can hit perfect/ grey fast or slow on 90% of iron shots atm. Pitches perfect/grey fast Splash shots and flops. Whatever practice swing is favoring. Still very much work in progress but getting better !!!!

Struggle to get perfects in truth, usually fasts/very fasts with odd slow and very slow.
More perfects or just into fasts on driving range.
Water left or dog leg left i aim right and dont exactly hammer for fast but expect (or hope) to get one...but not a very fast ;-)
Generally use 96% and fast on short irons.
I just struggle with this xbox, but for all i know i may struggle with other platforms.
Game a bit of a chore with tempo issues to me on masters, a bit more likeable on pro i would say.
But i do like the game and appreciate the difficulty.

Voted anything
Generally try for perfect - but also use Fast / Slow as needed - depending on hole and conditions..

Fast for everything after trying in vain for consistent perfect or reasonably close to. I feel I always have to say this - I'm on Xbox.
Without mapping clubs and about ten mins practice with driver and a couple of irons on my own two hole course I shot -6 in the second round of the Champions United tourney, with several birdie putts missed ( I still find the putting a chore )

I will attempt to hit almost every full shot from the short grass lies perfect, apart from with the driver as the Bridgestone is too narrow a window to not favorite the fast side. Suicide not to play to a tendency with that thing, but most drives are either grey fast or perfect - rarely a red fast. I favour the fast on chips exclusively - I knocked a load in when I was on fast tempo at the start of the game so stuck with it. Bunker shots I favour the fast as the slow is so bloody damaging. Other short game shots I try for perfect with limited success. I've hit a slack handful of intentional slows in certain situations while messing about, but to good effect... but, for shape, I'll play for a perfect tempo with a fade in tournament play, purely because a red slow is a complete killer.
All in, I use the fast at times, but only because I feel I have to in order to completely bypass the red slow or worse.

Not had the game long, and I dare say I'm not as consistent as you, but pretty much exactly the same pattern.

Going for fast off the tee. This isnt that easy.even when you hit the fast it depends where About in the fast zone you hit it? I’ve found there’s different amounts of banana depending where you hit the fast, and did you judge it right with the marker? Even then you can easily hit very fast or perfect that mostly kills it. Then you have to try hit perfect with the approach. Im happy if i hit the grey slow or fast and get a look at a putt. Putting is so much harder than the previous games but thats no bad thing. This is a great golf game and tgc tours have got the settings spot on.

I try for perfects most of the time, but will hit a fast driver if the hole shape suits it.
I can get on a run of hitting perfects, then I completely lose that feel and I'm back to square one and I'm struggling all over again hitting fasts and slows.
The main problem that I'm getting atm is that I just can't get a straight line with my downswing: if you can't hit it straight then the tempo becomes an after thought as all my concentration is on the swing line. It's just a constant battle for me and not much fun to play.

I typically look for fast, but also have to use perfect at times (hard to get) and even slow (hard to control), depending on the shot shape I need to hit. Never want very fast or very slow. I always pause at the top as well. Short pause for 102%+, longer pause for 98%...depends on the distance I have.
