Has anyone noticed a fairly significant change to swing thresholds this week? I've been shooting really well since the red-fast nerfing in the TGC Tours and I finished all of my rounds for the week with a better than average tournament score (-26 CC-A).
But today I'm hitting red slows like crazy and rarely able to hit a perfect. I've recalibrated a few times but it seems like something fairly significant has changed with the tempo thresholds.
Has anyone else noticed this? Is it just me?
I'm playing on PC with an XBox controller.

It feels like they severely narrowed the perfect threshold. I'm usually money on pitch shots, and I can normally hit 4/5 full swings perfect. Today it's a clusterf***. I don't know what has changed, but the game's borderline unplayable for me. I can hit red slows on command, but that's about it. I've logged close to 400 hours on this game by now and I've never seen it play like this.

Read all 50+ pages in this linkI'm very much aware of the nerfing of 'red fast' and I've been following it closely. The initial change was a nothingburger IMO, and some of us have noticed subsequent tweaks to things like splash shots. What has been consistent is that the game has still played true. That is, once you get used to the new patterns, a slow feels like a slow, a perfect feels like a perfect, etc. What I'm noticing now is something different. I'm intentionally trying to swing fast, and I'm mostly seeing red slows. The game's borderline unplayable for me. I'm trying to gage whether others have noticed this as well. And the distances for slows are definitely different for pitch and splash shots. On the range yesterday I was hitting red slow pitches with a lob wedge 60 yards. That's radically different than what was happening just a few days ago, so it's pretty clear that HB's been at the tweaking again. I played my TGC rounds very well this week, hitting mostly perfects, and I'm in line for a promotion to Kinetic. Now the only thing I can hit consistently is red slow. lol |

I have definitely noticed an increase in red slows, some of them I can feel it when I've hesitated slightly on the downswing, others I have no idea why because it felt normal or even fast.
I did a calibration using a more relaxed swing tempo and then I couldn't hit anything but red fasts so went back and recalibrated with a normal feeling swing. It's easier for me to use a firmer tempo to swing rather than trying to baby it to avoid a red fast, but yeah the red slows are frustrating.
