I ACTIVELY IGNORE tempo. It's not a factor in how I swing. I actually have no idea what this means. You're playing TGC Tours? |

I actually have no idea what this means. You're playing TGC Tours? I don't care about my tempo. I care about how hard or soft my shot is. I focus on my swing line being straight only and hopefully the tempo is correct. I try to manually control the ball with my swing speed and not use the tempo meter. I play in the Beer League.

I'm on Twitch at meunier33 And therein lies your problem. The success of a swing is determined by both line and tempo working together, not one or the other. Until you start focusing on the tempo as well you will keep having the same problems. It's not a problem with the game not "reading your swing properly", the problem is how you are trying to play it simply doesn't work. You've been given advice and help that you keep refusing to listen to because the game should just suddenly not work how it was intended just to suit the wrong way you're trying to play it. |

Yep, that's a bad swing, based on how the game works. You can choose to ignore tempo, but you aren't going to be playing consistently well on TGC Tours if you do.

At least 6 hours a week every week since the game has come out excluding travel and holidays and I have never broken -30 in a tournament. I'm happy if I make the cut. I ACTIVELY IGNORE tempo. It's not a factor in how I swing. You stubbornly refuse to take advice and carry on actively ignoring tempo, as you put it. The current iteration of the game is ALMOST TOTALLY ABOUT TEMPO, and certainly at levels below, say, master. Swing too fast, it hooks; swing too slow, it slices. Last time I'm going to comment on your posts; you clearly don't listen to what people are telling you. |

If you can show the video of the actual shot with the aim at the hole, the wind strength, the elevation (if any), swing meter on the bottom right so we can see the power, swing path and tempo it would be easier to see what your talking about rather than a playback of a shot poorly struck. It WAS NOT poorly struck is what I am saying. It was an exactly perfect swing. So you were aiming at the heavy rough? |

Because I have a strategy that avoids tempo when it works. I only complete half of my swing and flick the stick forward for the rest of the swing, keeping the game from recognizing there is any swing tempo at all. In about half of rounds this works and if half it does not. This is why I said the game does not always read me correctly. |

What's stopping you practicing a full swing, the same as everyone else? It's not for the game to read you, but for you to read how the game is designed to be played. |

So you were aiming at the heavy rough? No, I was aiming down the fairway, I hit a perfect swing and it went off anyways. You say perfect, the game says RED VERY FAST. A very fast swing will pull the ball left off the fairway. There are two parts to the swing, the swing plane (which you have done well, being straight up and down) and the swing tempo, which you have done poorly. The tempo will determine very fast (pulls the ball left like a hook) Perfect (goes straight), Very slow (acts like a slice and pushes the ball right of target). Until you do both you will rarely hit the fairway. (Unless you aim way right and hit a very fast - but that's more luck that good golf). So with that, I wish you luck. |

You're basically trying to shove a square peg into a round hole then wondering why it doesn't fit. |

Looking at my society stats I hit fairways 80% of the time and greens in regulation 61% of the time. I am actually in the top 20 in beer league birdies at 17 and Number One in pars, even though I have never won and only have one top 20 finish! I make the 3rd most bogies out of all players though.

Fairways are easier to hit than greens, especially with a technique that can't be anything but inconsistent. That would explain the bogeys.
I hit more fairways per round than greens in real life, but it doesn't help that the greens on most courses here are postage stamps compared to PGA tour courses.

There is another reason I don't swing with tempo. This is because you cannot see the blue shot control lines in a tournament. Because of this I try to control the ball from my swing. I swing off on purpose trying to control the impact and spin of my ball on the green or fairway. Until shot control lines are restored to tournaments I will never swing approach shots on tempo.
I do use left stick up and down on shots to gain distance but find under hitting with control impossible. I never use slice or fade. I always swing for red 101 power on full shots.
