So I created a practice range to test winds and kicks (side lies). It's all marked out at various yardages, left and right, so as to gauge the wind effects. I use a 3rd party control that hits dead straight (It's not used for tournaments of course), and turned off tempo so that I can eliminate user error when swinging. And for the life of me, I can't get a kick to do anything but hit straight with any club. Anyone else notice this? I've attached a vid to show what I mean.

It's a weird thing, but it's considering your ball to be "on the tee" and so slope does not come into account. If you select "play from here" rather than "play hole" it should work properly. Just a bit of a glitch when the game considers it to be your "1st shot" of a hole. |

I used to have tees here and deleted them, must be a glitch due to that. I'll have to play around with it. |

Yeah you might have to just bump it off the tee with putter and then play your second shot, then replay from there. |

I am both intrigued and mildly disturbed by his experiment.
Think of how many enjoyable rounds at a variety of creators' courses you could have played instead, man !!
Just kidding ... more power to you for the committment !

If so, what is it named? If NOT, could you please publish it? I, for one, would LOVE to be able to use such a range to test my clubs. Thank you, sir! |
