Hi all,
Hopefully a quick question that I just can't fathom out. With the TGC settings when it comes to partial shots, does it matter to bring the scout cam back to where I want to hit it or not?
I just can't work out if it makes any difference, some swings go well short and some go miles past - should I be setting the scout cam to where and how far I want to hit it?

Yes You should adjust the aiming marker to the distance you want to hit it

This is a milestone moment for me. So what you are saying is that if the marker is placed at 100% of allowed distance your swing will be a "fast" swing speed to reach 100%. Then when using that same tempo, but the actual distance is say 70% to the marker where you actually want the ball to land, the ball should travel 70%. The actual length of the swing will be reduced using that same tempo. Nailing that same tempo is obviously the challenge here! Cheers |

Basically yeah. If you have a 70m shot with a club that goes 100m with a 100% swing, placing the marker at 70m or so and using the same swing as you would with the full shot, it should travel about 70m assuming perfect tempo is hit.
Obviously there are variables like missing perfect tempo, wind, elevation etc. but that's the basic idea.

You still want a shorter backswing for the 70% with same tempo in terms of transition and downswing but the game will help you do it by slowing down the backswing at the right number for your aiming marker
The effect is really drastic on pitch shots but also there for full shots.

Really? The swing slows down drastically around the 70% mark esp for pitch shots? I haven't noticed this. I'm intrigued. Might have to visit the range now. Isn't that only with the distance control assist on though? |

I don't know what that is. I bought the game and set it up based on the TGCtours settings and that's the only way I play.
For a pitch if I move the aiming marker back it is really difficult to swing way past that distance. This is always a problem for me if I think I have a full pitch selected and didn't notice my caddie recommended something shorter.

If you have a 70m shot with a club that goes 100m with a 100% swing, placing the marker at 70m or so and using the same swing as you would with the full shot, it should travel about 70m assuming perfect tempo is hit. Obviously there are variables like missing perfect tempo, wind, elevation etc. but that's the basic idea. The % is NOT 1:1. If you have a 100M shot and set it to 70% it will go around 85 - 90 yds. That is with perfect tempo and hitting it with no overswing. If I had a 70 yd shot I would use my LW and pitch it at 100% full. That puts it at 70 in the air with a rollout to around 74 yds. If I had to hit 70 yds distance exact, then I would use my LW set for pitching 100% and fully loft it to get 67 in the air with a rollout to around 69 yds. With over swing you get it to 70 yds. |

Agreed, but my example marker at 70m isn't necessarily a 70% swing. I don't know what the percentage is that it's being set to because there's no way to see it until the swing is already made. |

I use the distance control meter set at percentage only. Not sure how anyone can make these partial shots without seeing at least the % nevermind the bar at the bottom. |

Something I've noticed, playing Master at least, and no doubt is universal across all difficulties. If you take your backswing back and hold it at the time for a longer time than you usually do, you'll get shots like 95% or 96%. For my own swing, it is hard to actually get a 100% swing, 101% being the norm. This shrinks the swing plane and forgiveness at the top. Hitting 96% with driver or fairway wood can knock off sometimes over 10 yards. But obviously the shorter your irons are, the less you'll lose with this pause at the top. Still, it could make a difference, especially so in that it makes misses less pronounced than if you were at 101%. Maybe it's my controller and overall system that causes this. Wondered if others have found this to be true?

Sorry if this is a dumb question but Iām not really getting my head around it. On the tour settings if your club choice full shot goes 170 yards and you pull the marker back to 160 and then take a full shot as in bring the club right back as normal should in theory it go 160 yards if the shot was played perfect? I understand wind and lie etc but if all conditions were normal is this correct? Same with those 7 yard pitches and pull it back to 5 and hit full?
It seems this is the case and yet sometimes the ball goes a lot further than expected.
