Does anyone here use spin control, the thing that is to the right of loft? I have never used it in the 10 year history of the game. In fact I have no idea how to access it even. I'm not sure how it can help you. I didn't even know this feture existed until I watched a Kawkster video right now. That is why you have trouble sticking on the greens... you have to use spin. It's accessed the same as loft. Left bumper and move the right stick down

I expect NATURAL SPIN to come from the green that I am hitting. When I hit a ball into an upslope like on this week's CC course, I expect the ball to come down the hill AUTOMATICALLY, not stay there or go out the other side of the green like it did!

I finished at -8, -19 this week. I am forced to overhit EVERY PUTT now because the putt transition has been removed. I DO NOT USE FORWARD SWING IN MY PUTTING. I do not enter the downswing of the putter when I putt. The last time they did this I fixed it by adding more putt weight but I can't do that now without removing putt path. I am having to break my putting line and use a putting swing that is not straight in order to get a forward swing. This means it is very hard to get the ball in the hole. This was a hard course though, judging from my 1st round -4 still being in the T30 when I finished.

When I hit a ball into an upslope like on this week's CC course, I expect the ball to come down the hill AUTOMATICALLY, not stay there or go out the other side of the green like it did! That depends on a lot of factors. Green firmness and speed, loft of club, wind strength and direction, etc. If you're hitting a short iron or wedge in fairly benign conditions then absolutely yes, if you're hitting a 4 iron in to a firm green with a tail wind then never! Extreme example but hopefully you get the point.

Not sure I could even put without pullling the stick back. Perhaps therin lies the problem.

Do the Razor controllers wear out? I got the one I am using in October. Edit, a light dawns on marble head. I'm not getting good putting swings because my putting swing is fully within the dead zone of the controller. It is not that I am not swinging forward. Is it time to order a new controller if this is going on?

Week 9 completed.... BAND OF BROTHERS DIVISION TABLECongrats to the winners this week:Alpha - racracracem -27 Bravo - xcltaff1980 -23 Charlie - moneyman273 -19 Delta - bigbluestu78 -11 Two divisions (Alpha and Bravo) have some unfinished business. Rac and Bubz look to go down tot he final week in Alpha and the same goes for Cozy and Ronnie in Bravo. Tough course this week so we shall see who manages the elements best. Congrats to the Top Gun winners this week:1. HORUSPHOENIX -23 2. CHALKEY84 -25 +0.992 (W)3. DOUBTFULOBELISK -24 15. MONEYMAN273 -19 +13.63 (W)Nice heavyweight battle between Chalkey and Horus. Very close even with the handicap. Moneyman continues to be on the warpath taking out some big names and that -19 was a pretty tough score to beat (sandbagger). TOP GUN BRACKETHad some weird rounds this week. I think I played the first 10 holes in round one without a single par. All birdies or bogies. Not exactly Ryder Cup season play. Second round was kind of a disappointment as well with alot of pars early, string of several birdies down the stretch with a bogey finish. Haven't had a ton to play for this season with all the Ryder Cup stuff to plan and leaving myself out of both brackets. Looking forward to meaningful swings during this upcoming Ryder Cup and into next season for sure. This week is the final event of the season before turning our attention towards the Ryder Cup. This will be at Lahinch by @thecv24 and should be a fun test hole to hole. High winds and greasy green speeds both rounds, because that is how we will end the season from hell. Top Gun Finals:2. CHALKEY84 15. MONEYMAN273 +12.30 Winner will play xclgizman08 in week 1 of next season for the title. Ryder CupHopefully everyone has began working on their scheduling for session one which is set to begin this weekend. You can play as early as this Friday is this ends up working out for everyone. I think most are gunning for this weekend to start. For Team USA is goes without saying to try and be as flexible as you can be to help the European team not stay up super late to get your matches in. If there are any conflicts or unresponsive opponents out there please let your captain(s) know. I don't expect there to be any issues from the dialogue I have seen thus far. All matches need to try and be completed by the end of next weekend and we'll do another stream with pairing for session 2 when deemed appropriate. Good luck this week...

I finished -12 in the promotion tournament which was inside T30 for XB1 players when I finished. I lost strokes in round 4 rushing to be at the gym in 26 minutes. It would have been more if I wasn't denied by the stick on hole 11;
