I am confused regarding how to use the aim marker. If I move the aim marker toward the ball what effect will that have on my shot? Will the controller vibrate sooner? Will 100% power now correspond to the new reduced target distance? I am trying to understand how to make partial shots (for example, when my intended distance is between clubs).
I have tried to find information o line, with no success.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Vibration is fixed to the marker, so it will vibrate when your backswing reaches in relation to the marker distance. Moving the marker does not effect carry distance but slows your backswing down the more you pull the marker to yourself, this is to help with partial shots. It also shifts the tempo to a slower required tempo. For putting moving the marker back or forward does effect putt distance to an an extent but does not effect backstroke speed and there is no tempo mechanic for putting. Hope this helps. |

Thank you. This is helpful. The other way to manage distance is with loft change. I rarely move the marker with irons. You can take around 10 yards off a full iron shot by changing the loft. This normally means you can cover most of your between iron range with loft change. Pitch shots have a much bigger range (around 20 yards) and are much more sensitive to this distance control. Adjusting spin will also affect the roll-out, enabling more distance control when landing on the green. I'm not a fan of partial shots and tend to use loft change to dial in accuracy, so I can just hit full shots, rather than moving the marker. I don't like the tempo change mentioned by hammers. This isn't really effective with woods though, so I do use partials if I want to take a bit off a drive or fairway wood, for example. That's what I do anyway. Everyone learns their own way of manging distance control I guess. |

Just to avoid any confusion, I will hit partials when hitting pitch shots, just not full irons, if I can possibly avoid it.
Cheers.

I never used to play partial iron shots, maybe for the first year I played the game but I started a while ago and I feel like the swing stick is more forgiving on those shots. I also will do like 90 or 95% swings with driver when playing on legend mode especially when I need to hit the fairway, like on a short par 5 that's reachable but only if I avoid th rough.
I think with shorter shots you need to understand the shape of the greens and conditions. Like if it's firm and fast and a tucked pin than sure use that loft and spin on a pitch to hit and stop or even back it up. If it's toward the back of a green with a back to front slope then it makes a lot more sense to land a partial pitch or chip or flop into the middle of the green and let it release.
The more shot types you can execute the more options you have to play to what the course is giving you and create scoring chances. I love hitting fades and draws against strong crosswinds. The ball tends to land like a dollop of mashed potatoes when you do that in very high winds, even with a long iron. You have to get a feel for how much distance it is going to take off and how much it takes to negate the wind, but you can get used to it if you do it a lot
