I don't know...maybe my swing is calibrated too fast or something? I could never get a lower sensitivity to work. But yes you have to hold the M1 button or any button you assign as the "clutch." So you would hold that down as you swing. But any sensitivity besides the highest wasn't fast enough to give me a forward swing . Maybe others don't realize they have to hold the clutch down and are just swinging it with the normal sensitivity and that is why they think it hasn't really changed anything. Just tried it on PC and I cannot see any difference between sensitivity 1 or 10 or not using it. For swinglines or tempo.

My own 2 cents is this sensitivity is much to do about nothing for the game of golf. If you look at any event leaderboard here dating back for however long the Razor has been a thing, there has been no earth-shattering changes. Personal handicaps/average for 18-hole scoring may have went up a stroke or two with a few outliers slightly higher.
The end results are the Alpha players are generally the top half-dozen players and then you have a mixture of A/B for the next 10-15 spots, B/C for the next 10-15 spots, and then the C/D players round out everything else.
I have said this 100 times over that while a certain control pad might be more consistent in some area, everything starts between your ears.
Where some of us fall short most times is good course management. I hosed up my tee shot so now what is the smart play to limit the damage rather than hero golf. Analyzing the information provided (lie, wind, elevation, green conditions) and execution. Most of us can analyze the numbers and do the math, but then you you get a "@!$# me slow" and its a tits up result. Even if all of that works out you still need to putt which to me is still the greatest differential between a good round nobody really notices....and a great one

This is it... When I tried it a while back, any change from the normal settings wouldn't allow a forward swing. The only thing I could adjust was the vibration sensitivity. Maybe I'll try it again later And here I was, thinking I'd just download the app on my phone and all will be well. To say I'm not tech savvy is an understatement lol. I'm with r0nrun here geez, apps for everything.

Hey all, thanks for the help with the controller. Hopefully it will help me. Also I have just uploaded a beta test of my course I’m working on. All 18 holes are in but not all bunkers, tee boxes, decorations, sculpting, etc. are in so please take that into consideration. I still have to sculpt about half the green to how I want them. Any and all feedback would be greatly appreciated. The name of the test course is LGCC Beta Test. Thanks.

Holy $&!@%#+ $#!+ I just played the first round of bob and I was playing with an amazing difference in my tempo after downloading the app but damn that course is way to difficult, wtf Dave!

Much ado about nothing indeed. Can’t even make a forward swing if I lower the sensitivity! And raising it changes nothing that I can tell.

Even if all of that works out you still need to putt which to me is still the greatest differential between a good round nobody really notices....and a great one Exactly this... I love a course that you have to manage...too many tgc courses you just grip it and rip it! Which is fun sometimes but not all the time! A lot of these courses are easy to play hero golf! Just drop down 2 clubs (or so) out of the rough/waste area and maybe you have a harder time stopping the ball, but that's about it. Math is easy, but there's a bit of management on that too...especially into or with the wind, do you fast more than you slow or vice versa? If you slow one into the wind you're screwed and it's never getting there. You'll want to play a faster tempo, there. But if you consistent slow, you can play into that. Same going with the wind... you'll want to be more on the slow side. Now side wind is a different story. I like to fade or draw into it. Use it to slow your ball down and land softly. So many times I feel like this while I'm playing...
*Edit...I guess it wont let me post a YouTube video here, but it's the one with Phil Mickelson taking about everything he's thinking of while approaching his shot* And then I get to the green...lol...exactly like you said it's the biggest difference between these guys at the top. But....my putting has improved so much this season! I've cleaned up my approaches, but putting is the biggest reason I've gone from CC-K to Kinetic this season...but I still have tons of work to do in that area. I'm counting on a practice green in 2k25!

Much ado about nothing indeed. Can’t even make a forward swing if I lower the sensitivity! And raising it changes nothing that I can tell. Ditto, the sensitivity thing on the app has made no difference at all for me, swing plane still crap. Tempo isn't a major problem with a razer as we all know, which certainly does not mean perfects are a given by any means, and the sensitivity setting in the app changes nothing for me tempo wise either.

It is basically a dpi setting for controller. The stick is still sensitive no matter how much you slow it down or speed it up. If the stock Xbox controller can pass API there is no worries with the Wolverine V2 on any setting.

Not a fan of this week's course. Liked the layout, but the greens were a bit ordinary on occasions. Always good to have a challenge though. Keep them coming 😀. 🇨🇰

I blew up at the end of the CC tournament this week. I finished Bogey, 7, Bogey, but still finished -16,-22 so no demotion marks expected. I felt like I just ran out of touch for some reason.

Week 4 on easy-street is completed..... BAND OF BROTHERS DIVISION TABLECongrats to the winners this week.....Alpha - Bubz -22 Bravo - r0nrun -6 Charlie - ss11 , grimbo - 0 Delta - bigbluestu78 +1 Congrats to the Top Gun Winners this week:xclgizman08 - by default 10. LABYRINTHOVLORD -1 (W)15. MONEYMAN273 12 +2.35 TOP GUN / RYDER CUP BRACKETHow'd you like them apples? Tough eh? I knew what I was getting into this week and finished with a pair of +3's. The lack of scoring opportunities or conversion on what I gave myself was on me. Conditions were pretty tough without question and ranks high on a short list of other setups when I turned the screws up a bit. It was a grind and each position attempted to put yourself was critical within inches of being a good or bad result. The reason for this "test" was to answer a question if course X that was being seriously being considered for the Ryder Cup....is it too hard? It was something I have really struggled with moving off of. The scores posted showed me what I need to see. It was likely enjoyed by few and others just didn't enjoy the grind. I had the whah-bulance fully fueled and I knew I would hear some moaning. Cheers to those who embraced the suck this week. I have adjusted the schedule and put up two different courses for the last two qualifiers for two reasons. One, I do not want the local markets having their TamPax shelves raided and honestly these should give some added opportunities for those middle of the pack guys to shine and earn a auto-spot. So this week will be jcollick new course Old Indian Trails from the Dream Team Competition. As soon as the first hole loaded I was like "wow". I think everyone will like this one this week and its one of the best looking / playing courses I have played from this contest so far. I pretty much left everything as is with a tick up in the green speeds in round 2. Top Gun / Ryder Cup Bracket finals.....10. LABYRINTHOVLORD 16. XCL GIZMON +11.68 Good luck this week gentlemen.....

Thank you all for your input on my issues with my controller. I went and downloaded the app on my xbox and adjusted some settings and I was able to play with good tempo.
