"Having minimal use or control of the controller stick is akin to swinging a real club holding it with two fingers. You will get absolutely no consistency, spray it all over the place and probably mis-hit most shots."
That is exactly what it looks like when the technique is not working. I hit 10 balls in the water at Dripstone in the 1st two rounds today.

Another very odd thing is my putting. I am able to make 4 or 5 +30 foot putts a round and also the short ones, but I will miss most medium range putts.

Well stop complaining about it then. If you refuse to try to learn a technique that will work every week instead of just occasionally then that's up to you, but you'll just forever keep getting the same inconsistent results. The game's swing mechanics won't change just because you want them to. Well said! I just read through this whole thread and am totally confused..... "I want to hit the ball but I don't want to swing the club"... wtf is he talking about?? |

I do not want to have a perfect swing. A perfect swing will not give you maximum distance, control or accuracy. I want to have a swing where the bottom meter is red and says 101 and the top meter is on the grey to the left of the perfect zone.

I can't stop the ball on the green where I want with perfect swings. This because I refuse to use shot controls with LB and the right stick. I refuse to use them because the blue lines that show where your ball will land are not available in tournaments.
I have problems with math and can't estimate where the ball will land without the blue lines being there.

You want to not swing perfect, not use spin control, be able to just flick the stick however you like, and thereby achieve good results. None of that is going to help you get better. I think it might be time you found a different game if after all this time you still refuse to play the game the way it's been designed, my friend. |

If you used the stick as intended you would achieve what you're looking for. The majority of my swings are 101% and tempo perfect. As for the shot shaping etc. you don't have to be a maths wizard to use them without the blue lines. It can be done just with trial and error. That's all I did, and after a while you get used to how it affects distance and roll out. I don't often use the draw/fade because it's usually not needed. I don't always get it right but that's golf. |

I came over to Xbox from PS5 and I can tell you there is a HUGE difference in the swing. I had PS5 down cold, XBox is so much more random.

My experience is perfect swings do not work. At least one out of three perfect swings that are 101% and line and tempo perfect will miss the target by 10 yards or more with wind not being a factor. If I recorded my TV I could show you shot after shot of this happening. In this weeks tournament my putter did not work though. I missed the cut after having 20 lip outs in the 1st two rounds even though I put the ball on the hole with the correct speed. |

Dunno, it's hard to fathom that being the case. You may not be taking elevation/ball lie into account properly? On the lip outs, I'm guessing that's randomness. There are times I seem to get more than others, much of the time it's on 144s, which I'm still trying to become more consistent on.

I missed the cut after having 20 lip outs in the 1st two rounds even though I put the ball on the hole with the correct speed. They work fine, but there are more factors than just a perfect tempo swing that affect where the ball ultimately ends up. Lie angle is important. If the ball is above or below your feet it will go left or right of target. An uphill lie will probably cause it to lose distance, downhill lies usually increase distance a bit, this is because it affects the loft. Obviously being in rough will lose distance. And then there's elevation change between the shot and the target. These are all things that you have to take into account yourself, there is no way to make any sort of auto setting that just hits it great every time. I have had similar experiences with putting before, both virtually and playing real golf, sometimes it just happens. It's pretty frustrating but at least I know I'm seeing the lines and pace pretty well. |

I've just come across this very strange thread. Someone asking advice and ignoring all he is given?
He wants to play the game his way and achieve good results, good luck to him.

How do you guys deal with the tournament lag? I am +12 at the cut today when I shot -7 in practice at this point. I know why this happened. The swing timing on XB1 slows down even more in tournaments than it is normally. All my shots that were in bounds in practice are now out of bounds in the tournament.
On second thought this tourney was glitched or bad for all of beer league. I finished the tournament +12 and I was one of only 28 or so finishers!
