Sup All! With the recent nerf, and the abundance of our community being effected by it, I thought it might be good in the spirit of competition and comradery to open a thread on your tips for achieving perfect tempo. I hope that this can be a resource for players that can help them make the switch. I think this could also include things like what's in your bag and not just swing thoughts. If you could give your platform I think that could help people see that it can be done on every console. I will be happy to start: I play on PS5 and I find that when my thumb leaves the stick on my follow through is the biggest indicator of my tempo. I find that I achieve the most perfects when my thumb glides off my stick when it hits the top (you like that don't ya baby  ). If my thumbs sticks to the controller too long I am usually fast, and if it slides off too soon its usually slow. I feel I use a pretty forgiving bag so I will post that the next time I fire up the game. Also, if anybody making the transition has questions drop them! We (or at least I am here if this thread gains cobwebs) to help. Good luck all! |

PS5 tempo is harder to achieve, controller seems more sensitive. But on the other hand the game runs way smoother and faster!  |

It may be because I'm coming from an og xbox but I find the tempo the be wayyy easier on ps5. I'm not sure if it's because xbox vs playstation or it's just that the game runs so damn good on the new hardware. |

I'm a relative n00b, just over one month old in the game, so take this from whence it comes... I made a tempo breakthrough by watching one of the tutorial vids from "Gamer Called Blue" on YT. He suggested watching your avatar's animation and taking it from there - particularly also aiming for 97-100% power, versus 101%. In my case, perfect tempo and 97-100% power happens if i start my downswing as my avatars arm covers my mouth. It will be different for different people, depending on your own swing, but this provides an anchor point to either increase or decrease speed and power. After practicing this for a full week, I got through qualify tourney on my first go. I missed my cut in my first official tourney (nerves and tried a new swing technique, that's my story and I'm sticking to it ). I went back to this technique for the latest tourney - CC-H and everything came together again. I made the cut and currently sitting in top-20, which should improve as I had a storming round 3 and 4. Oh, and totally coincidentally, after finishing all my rounds so well, I went to go play a few rounds of Divot Derby for fun. I finished first (my first win!) and had a few seconds... what I noticed was that a useful way to test the "avatar method" was to watch the power bar at the bottom, which is activated at pro-level with divot derby and other online modes. When the power bar hits that white spot, try and check your avatar's position (pick something, like arms, depending on your camera view) - that's your sweet spot. The rest should fall into place. |

Very forgiving clubs are best played wired. Why? It bypasses 1000hz (wireless) which has more input points. In other words, wired utilizes 250hz to increase the effects of rounding thereby dramatically increasing the total number of perfects. This only produces 2 input points for Perfect (L/R edges) on very forgiving clubs and no points of Perfect for 295D. If two players had identical skill, the player who calibrated with only 2 input points would hit many, Many more perfects (rounding is powerful), and thus score much better. Less forgiving clubs need more input points to strike within the white tempo box, therefore they should be played wireless. Imo, people really need to hit at least 70% perfects to use the less forgiving clubs.
I believe SloanerTW was the first person to figure this out, so perhaps he knows if it works for you Xboxers. I pitty you fools . |

From what I know, the only wired controllers for Xbox are the cheap ones like power A and you'll get pulled from tourneys for that. They do make a plug and play to keep your wireless controller battery charging but I believe it still picks up wireless signal for game play. I have heard if you get a memory extension and put 2k21 on that the game will run smoother and you should have better control of your tempo that way. Not sure if this is fact or not as I haven't done it. |

The best tip for hitting more perfects is practice.
However, when practicing be careful. If you are not hitting 60% to 80% of your shots perfect you are not improving, you will actually be regressing. It’s essentially just muscle memory.
Practice needs to be quality practice.
When I’m playing badly I will sometimes drop down to pro swing difficulty and go to the practice area and build up my rhythm before switching back to master swing.
Another drill I use is starting with the lob wedge I work up through the bag. Once I hit a perfect I move to the next club. When I started doing this it would take me about 50 swings to go through the 13 clubs. Now I can pretty much do it in about 15/16 swings.
I will always do this drill before playing any societies.

Here is what I have been doing during rounds that has increased my chances of hitting perfect: Take a practice swing until I get a fast. Once I get a fast, I gradually reduce my speed until I hit a slow. I take the actual shot after the slow and it is usually around perfect. Fast, slow, go. Might not work for everyone, but it seems to be working for me. On the range I just try to get as many perfects in a row starting with the wedges and working up, kind of making a game out of it. It's also fun to try and hit the ducks in the pond(s) on the side of the range.  |

PS4 has a massive advantage due to the nature of it's 250Hz wired connection. For all systems, playing with different controllers, controller versions, headsets, usb adapters, or even wired cables have the potential to dramatically change your tempo outcome; sometimes for the better, while other times worse. Some people luck into a good combination, while others use specific calibration techniques to achieve a tempo that works for them. Here's a video to help provide some light on the subject. Keep in mind, there isn't a universal method for everyone to achieve the exact same tempo. Even people using identical calibration methods can potentially have dramatically different results. My best advice is to experiment with different combination of devices, wired, wireless, in conjunction with swinging different ways on your 10 calibration swings. Results may vary.
P.s. Absurd!!

The best indication of good tempo is full pitch shots with wedges. Once you can get those near perfect .. tempo improves thru the whole bag

[br Makes no sense Does it make no sense because these are actually good drills that could help you get in a rhythm and help you improve, or make no sense because you are bitter because pesky whoops on you on the CC in game leaderboard every week? This is a place for help for those who are struggling (which is everyone at the moment) please keep your negativity and personal vendettas away from this thread. Heard there are some Plat and Elite players playing the CC event this week, better go tell them to get off your lawn. |

Not sure if this is fact or not as I haven't done it. You can tell right away if your cheaper controller is going to conform or not, because your swing path will be 100% straight on every shot. Its not the brand, its the sensitivity of the joystick. Now that this game is 100% about swing timing and zero to do with swing path, they better change API to detect timing cheats or just forget about api all together. |

). If my thumbs sticks to the controller too long I am usually fast, and if it slides off too soon its usually slow.
