Well with R2 posted, it looks again like I'll miss the cut (-6), but avoid demo marks (fingers crossed). I can't remember if we had this discussion in a weekly thread or the golden cow thread... but decided to look at my stats through 2 so far:
FIR - 50% (117/122) GIR - 36% (118/122) Putting - 1.083 (6/122)
Lol.

Forgiving club sets ? Please don’t take this as me giving you advice because I’m good . The opposite I’m struggling to I have gone for max forgiveness until I get the tempo improved But distance is hurting Good fun though.

The opposite I’m struggling to I have gone for max forgiveness until I get the tempo improved But distance is hurting Good fun though. It's something to consider for sure! I have some of the most forgiving wedges (silver hogan's), but I'm on some yellow irons (142-188 distance 9I-4I), and I'm still using a 295 driver. So there is room to adjust... Thing is though, it doesn't feel like adding any more forgiveness on these really allows for much more perfects on my end. It seems like no matter what I try, I can only hit one spot on the tempo meter that is within the perfect window on pretty much any of the clubs on Master. The "good" spots I can hit are essentially one spot in perfect, one spot just outside of grey fast (basically at the start of red fast), then a spot in grey slow. Think it's an XB issue, but I'll figure it out. Still early days playing for perfects.

My stats are not the same though... 😂😂😂 85% FIR 60ish % GIR 1.3 PPH Guess what my problem is... 😎

I don’t see much difference hitting perfects with forgiving clubs than gold or purple clubs. However, when you add loft and attack angle the purple clubs become harder to hit perfect. I’ve had to ditch the 295 driver as it’s actually impossible to hit perfect. I’m using the 286 driver, because of this I’ve gone to longer irons. This seems to be working out well for me. I’m scoring better since the nerf. Hitting more fairways

Hitting more fairways Yeah, when I hit the 295 right it's a grey slow basically right on the border between perfect/slow, and I consider that to be my perfect with the club. Maybe I'll look at the 286 though and see if I can find some more success, but I figure the same spot would just be a perfect instead of the grey slow, with no other upside.

The issue I have with the big boy driver is that it’s, gray fast (just touching perfect) or gray slow (just touching perfect). In high winds it’s a problem. Hitting the wrong side of perfect costs we too many FIR. With the 286 I have no problems.

gray fast (just touching perfect) or gray slow (just touching perfect) I really have no clue on the matter of controllers and PS4/5, but isn't that a calibration issue?

Yes, 100 percent a calibration issue. I’ve tried to fix by recalibrating but no luck, still have the same issue. I can only hit perfect with the 295 if I bring the intent back a couple of yards.

Ps 4 wired ? I’ll try that Plus I should try the yellow or purple mid irons As I’m having no many fairway problems with the 286 driver. So yeah I think I’ll go up a set of irons for next week.
Loving the feeling of seeing the approach heading for the pin instead of right to left. And hoping it comes in at a decent angle.

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.

Imo, people really need to hit at least 70% perfects to use the less forgiving clubs. With a very good calibration (which I feel I have) I have a Driver at 277 (which is somewhere in the middle forgiveness wise) with three perfect points, so I would assume one should also get 3 points of perfect with an ideal calibration with more forgiving drivers (the 26X yard clubs). Your overall point is taken and correct, though, about the wired vs wireless. Just being pedantic is all on a specific point.

Considering I was +1 after the first 9 holes in round 1, I'll take -13 at the halfway mark. Not sure where that puts me, if I'm even close to making the cut since I haven't looked at the leaderboard yet, but it was about what I expected - significantly worse play/tempo than my practice rounds post-update, hit it all over the place for stretches of holes at a time, @!$#ing OB on that one split fairway par4 with carry over canyon in round 1 (told myself "just don't do that" in practice), and putted OK on average. We'll see where that puts me...
