Good job Vader!
No matter how hard I try to hit the ball straight it never follows that path. I either hit the ball left or right, usually left. When I look at the swing analyzer it typically draws a backward "S" or a backwards "7". I have NO problems with my swing in TGC and TGC 2 both on the PC and PS4. On the XONE it's a problem.J_Cauthen wrote:Rodster wrote:Rodster, I understand your point. This interface in TGC 2019 isn't going to strike a chord with a lot of gamers. If it doesn't suit you, it doesn't suit you. I hope that a future iteration of the game will take at least some of your criticisms into account. Many of which, have been aired and acknowledged by HBS... how much and whether they do anything about them is another story.
When you say you can't get the tempo swing to work for you in 2019, are you saying you're having trouble hitting a perfect/perfect tempo? I hit perfect/perfect maybe 85% of the time using Pro clubs, and maybe 75% of the time using Master clubs.
I wanted to play it again because I set it up wrong the last time. I would really love to play that course in real life. friendBOMBER, the guy who created that course using LiDAR says that it's a great place to play golf.JOZ wrote:Thanks John. I like that course and was surprised we were playing it again. I just wanted to match my Monday score of 64 thinking somebody would have to light it up again to beat it as Vader did Monday.
It was definitely a nice change of pace after Bethpage over the weekend. Again, F that course
And welcome to the new faces.
I've seen something like you're describing on rare occasions. I see it more on the stock controller than my Elite controller though. I'm not sure what produces it, but when I see it happen I tend to make subsequent strokes with a motion that's a little more deliberate and measured to work it out. Problem then is that when I do that the dreaded "perfect/slow" tempo becomes a greater possibility. Nothing irks me more in this game than to have a "SLOW" downswing punished by a shot that winds up with more carry distance on it!? I truly hope HBS rethinks that aspect of the current shot mechanic for the next edition.Rodster wrote: No matter how hard I try to hit the ball straight it never follows that path.

That dreaded swing pretty much summarizes my swing for the past 3 months or so. To the point where I don’t have the swing feedback on anymore. We played Skins yesterday with Vader at the Tiger Woods’ course (a pretty course at that btw) and while the fairways were very fair, my drives would end up most of the time in the rough because of my downswing. We discussed controllers, at this point I am not ready to invest in an elite controller yet if it makes that much of a difference.J_Cauthen wrote:I've seen something like you're describing on rare occasions.

How about they just give us who don't won't to deal with their wonky swing mechanics an option for a meter swing or a 3 Click option? The only people who never have a problem with their golf swing are those that Dan recently talked about where they modded their Xbox controller and i'm not doing that just to play their game.J_Cauthen wrote:I truly hope HBS rethinks that aspect of the current shot mechanic for the next edition.
They won't offer a 3-click option; they've said repeatedly over the last four years that it's not part of their design philosophy.Rodster wrote:How about they just give us who don't won't to deal with their wonky swing mechanics an option for a meter swing or a 3 Click option?
The people who do that have allowed the "game" to be stolen from them. I feel sad for them...The only people who never have a problem with their golf swing are those that Dan recently talked about where they modded their Xbox controller and i'm not doing that just to play their game.
I think the Elite controller helps some with that, but I get it maybe 15% of the time (tempo errors of all types with Pro clubs) with mine. Some of the more recent XBox One controllers have a feature in which you can pull the stick outward, until you feel a click (you can't hear it) and it increases the tension on the stick making it feel less sloppy. This might be something to try if you have access to it on yours?10spro wrote:That dreaded swing pretty much summarizes my swing for the past 3 months or so.

Welcome R1zzo23, and you can jump in anytime you like. We've got an 18 hole tournament today if you'd like to take part in that one. I looked about 2 hours ago and no one had teed off yet, but I fing that usually, the rounds come in between 4:00 PM and 12:00 PM EDT.R1zzo23 wrote:Hey fellas, new to these parts but looking to take part in your TGC2019 society.

I'm going to try to join the society today at some point but not sure if I can get a round in today. We will see though!J_Cauthen wrote:Welcome R1zzo23, and you can jump in anytime you like.

Cool idea Dan, thanks i'll try it !Danimal wrote:
Rod if you want to fix your swing issues to enjoy the game and don't want to spend money on a controller you can try this method
That'll work. Be aware though, I had to binge play my final three rounds last Sunday night/Monday morning, and the final round didn't smile on me... I posted a 94! Heck, I could'a played Bethpage Black better than that in real life!R1zzo23 wrote:Officially accepted into the society. Won’t have a chance to play today’s tournament but should be able to binge the tournament this weekend on Friday.
I'll play with your ghost tonight and see if I can capture it... kudos though!Danimal wrote:Had a hole in one today on 11. Tried to screen capture it but not sure it took.
We'd like to see you back in the mix to go along with the new blood signing on. We should have four new members in the Society by Friday at the latest! I love having to scroll to the next page to see the entire leaderboard in a DSP tournamentDiablo25 wrote:Hoping to get back in the swing of the society soon.
Dan, I didn't see your round listed among the rounds to choose from as I was setting up my round late last night from among the ghost or rival choices. Are you sure your round got recorded? At the end of my round, I didn't see your round on the leaderboard either. Something must have gone awry with the submission or saving of your round?Danimal wrote:Had a hole in one today on 11.

Well, I just looked at the results from yesterday's tournament and lo and behold, your -6 round is showing. I swear, it wasn't showing when I finished my round at like 11:30 PM last night!? I'm glad it kept it and you're on the books. I can't say I've ever seen a delay in a round getting credited anywhere near this long.Danimal wrote:When I finished I was -6 and top to the leader board for 4 guys, I think 1 ahead of Joz.
That would figure, I finally have a good round and poof it's gone.
