Have you tried hitting the chipping green and learning the slower tempo. Also changing club up and down again resets tempo and will give you your usual tempo.but you will have a quicker backswing. Jeff if you are struggling with tempo for partial splash you will also for chip and flop, the short game tempo feels natural to me and I don't move marker it is just a slower tempo for shorter shots. I honestly cannot remember the last duffed splash. I would pick splash anyday now and I hit about 3 sand saves in my first 2 TST rounds out of 4 attempts. Also when fitting club fittings favour tempo before other attributes for LW and SW. Tempo is key to the short game as much as distance control. But the more you hit the chipping green the more you learn partial distances and tempo. You won't duff splash shots if you get a good short game tempo and you get a feel for the avatar's swing distance when practicing the same shot repeatedly. Yup, done all that - I'm actually quite comfortable with the chip shot - but cannot for the life of me get anything right with the splash and flop. I've spent countless of hours practicing those 2 on the practice green. And I'm of the mindset that I want to use the right shot for the situation, but frustration and +22 on a round doesn't make for a fun game, SIM or otherwise.. Also if you can get a good splash tempo you can apply backspin to the shot with shot shaper and this really makes the ball bite after it's second bounce. It does shrink the window a bit if you apply full spin. |

If you apply loft and spin to a splash you have one point you can hit and any others you leave it in the bunker. Most other places are fine this version with the tempo and polling points but splashes with loft and spin applied are ticking timebombs haha |
