Again I am going to bring up side bite putting because I just did it in real life on a mini golf course and shot a 32. None of my putts were on the center of the hole unless they were one foot or inside. The game devs don't know what real life putting outcomes are.
I can add another thing that I know. Your shot results have absolutely nothing to do with how you touch the controller. It is how the controller READS your touch that controls your shot results. You can manipulate the controller into making what most people would consider bad swings to be effective.
Another thing I do is that the shorter the shot, the less hard I hit the swing stick. This is because in my experience, the shorter the shot, the more added momentum the game will give you.
In summary, my experiences have lead me to think it is easier to to play this game the "wrong" way than the way the pros actually play it.

Might it help you to try and distinguish between: A) things you think the developers have done wrong in this game compared to how you understand real golf swing and hole physics and, B) what you need to do to get good at the game. So, by all means think to yourself “I would have made the swing work differently in this had I made a golf game” but accept that to play this one well you are going to have to meet it on its own terms? There’s plenty of things that niggle me for instance about the game design but I accept that’s how they are and that I can’t change them. Just a thought that making that distinction mentally might help you a bit. Unfortunately for all of us the game won’t adjust to how we want it to play and we have to play the game as it exists to score well. Hope you’re doing well mate! |

Anyone played MarioKart with those red and white plant things that reach out when your little kart gets to close and gobble it up? That's how I picture 'side bite'. And I for one am all for it. Bring it on HB 👍

In summary, my experiences have lead me to think it is easier to to play this game the "wrong" way than the way the pros actually play it. Seriously, this 'side bite putting ' is a figment of your imagination, certainly in this computer game. To be honest I have no idea what you even mean by this term. As for putting, just try to put the ball in the middle of the hole at the correct pace, thats it. No exploits, no cheats, no nothing. Assess the line and adjust the pace of the putt as required and hit the ball. In an earlier post you talk about playing without a backswing. You can only mean you barely pull back the stick, wait for the haptic then push through. Yes, I do that too on every shot, I'm betting a lot of players do, this is not unusual to you. I find this works well with the Razer which has an awful swing plane, as it, to a certain extent, can straighten out the swing plane. It's certainly easy to get this wrong and still get a terrible swing plane but it can work well. Practice the parts of your game you aren't happy with, while using a consistent method of delivering the stick through and starting to know what adjustments work for you and what don't - this second point is especially important with a Razer controller - you must know where the ball will go when you use the stick the way you want to. For me this means I click right 7 times for every shot, as a Razer, for me and the way I push/pull back the stick, pushes the ball left. Or you can of course continue on your present course, and complain the game doesn't obey you - the choice is yours. One further point. You say it is easier to play this game the ' wrong ' way compared to the pro's - your results don't show this. |

As to my results, I don't change because I once shot a -43 in CC playing the way I normally do. If I did it once I know it can be done again without changing how I play.

The problem with this way of thinking is you then discount all of the rounds when you didn't shoot -43 and instead played far less well. Taking an exception as the rule can't work. |

You do know this is a video game right? I know you must because you are manipulating your swing to how you want to control it... and that is not anything like a real life golf swing!
But, when it suits you, you want the video game to play like real life golf and get this so called side bite.
You can't have your cake and eat it too... just accept it's a video game and play like you have to to score better. Don't blame the game.

Bigger stats I think is that the ball stops on the green 31 feet from the hole on average and my GIR% is only 60%. Right now I am having a lot of crazy rounds where I hit -4 and then collapse to a +7. This is because how I swing suddenly stops working. I thought everyone in this thread manipulated their swing in some way to have success. I also don't change my swing because I don't think it will do anything! I think your game success depends on how fast your controller reads the shot. I get 955/40 as a wired connection and I don't think that is good enough. I know everyone in Plat must be using a solo T1 connection at the least. |

Assess the line and adjust the pace of the putt as required and hit the ball." I've said before that I can't see where the center of the hole is. I am nearsighted even with glasses and also have an eye tracking problem from a disability. The hole looks like "IOI" to me. Two lines that have no back to them. So I putt on the parts of the hole that I can actually define.

Well in that case, aim for the O in IOI, that's the bit in the middle of the I I

This is an alert for everyone to check scores. I have four round scores posted when I have not played my tourney yet. The scoreboards show that all players have finished all rounds on all flights Sunday night PDT. This is obviously impossible. I already messaged Tim and XZ Man about the issue.
