Huh, saw a post about a patch on Reddit. Reinstalled the game and played a bit. I might actually play again. Of course, I figured I'd been gone so long that I'd have to go through qualifying again, but after playing a round on Plat (shot +3 with a +6 on the 10th hole after putting off the green 3 or 4 times, lol) I found that I'm still listed as a Platinum player. Heh, if that round counts, I won't be for long, LMAO.

Interesting! That might just be the most valuable Xbox / Xbox live profile on the planet haha! Did you do anything in particular with calibration or just take a few swings?. I don't even have either grey on master. I also have seen 3 points in perfect zone. And since latest I get a lot of greys now and lots more very slows. With that said martbloke you are in another world as far as consistency goes. Your damn good! Note: I also like the toughness of master and other than divot derby (very rare) have never used Pro. Funny you mention that I played a fair bit yesterday for the first big session since the patch and got quite a few right in the middle of grey slow with the 296 driver. Never had that before. Maybe something with the patch, who knows. I think I've hit the point now where I'll stop worrying about calibration and polling points and enjoy the game as it is. I swear thinking about all this makes me play worse.

I swear thinking about all this makes me play worse. I no longer calibrate. If we do it once it should be forever, therefore I just enter a match and take 10 practice swings in practice mode to get my rhythm and then go play and have fun. BUT to each his own.

I think I've calibrated maybe three times since release. Don't get me wrong I'm not doing it often or anything. Just more that I get interested in the theory behind it reading posts on here. Mostly a case of hitting my ceiling in Elite and being interested in whether it could help me make the jump to platinum.

Did mine Sept 2020. 6 striped down the middle. 2 left 2 right. Didn't want to waste much time on it.

I've seen 3 different points in perfect on masters (Series X / with OOTB controller) - I also hit slight grey fast and slight grey slow from time-to-time..
On pro, I definitely get more points in grey fast/slow and I also see a few more in the perfect zone - obviously because the white bar is slightly bigger on pro..

Whisper it, but it does seem a bit like the recent patch has fixed a lot of what was wrong with Masters on Xbox. I played a round last night and hit a bunch of greys. That never happens. Piss poor timing for these tours though

Piss poor timing for these tours though I'll be playing my Master BOB rounds later today. I'll chime in with my thoughts and take a couple videos too.

I find it easy to get in my own head with all this stuff and overthink it.

Piss poor timing for these tours though I get the feeling they've tweaked it as well. I have a point bang in the middle of grey slow with my Driver on Masters now and I've never had that before.

I was hitting greys on both sides. Perfect was still there too.

So glad now when I miss hit my 243 yd 3 wood it still carries over 200 yds instead of 175 yds. Don't think a real pro golfer ever has that issue.

Yeah I've gotta say that I am really enjoying the game now on Master.....apart from last night where I had a mare and couldn't stop hitting red fasts haha. Think my internet was playing up as I couldn't even stream something on All 4!

Perfect was still there too. I just played 3/4 of my BOB rounds and didn't notice anything different from a tempo perspective on Master on XB.
