I think a small missed opportunity was not having mulligans turned on. When you're describing what would have happened had you not done X or Y, you could actually prove it immediately. Not a criticism, just some constructive feedback. I'm new to the game and appreciate your insights. My biggest pet peeve so far about this game is how to use the stick for topspin and backspin. Moving the dot left or right on the ball causes the ball to spin as if it were a cue ball, and you struck it with the cue at that spot. For topspin and backspin, it's the opposite, so it seems counterintuitive. But I suppose I can't blame YOU for that.

Spot on tutorial! Agree on your highlighted shots. The spinner & knock down are excellent! I recommend folks go play Wolf Creek to learn the type of shot type are necessary. => IF someone asked me which course I'd like to see added to this game? Merion! It is one of the shortest PGA course, but one of the most difficulty because of the severe sloping greens {#5 for example.} Course management and putting are at a premium. In fact, the greens are more like those found at Augusta! BTW ~> WGT has Merion in the line up of their courses.

Dude this is the most helpful video out about this game. Just got it, it was fun but just like real golf was so frustrating because I couldn’t do well. After this my shots r so much better and it’s so much more fun. I know u explained it in the video, but how does the loft thing on the right work, because I never really use it and you kept talking about it. Last y when I try to use it can I only move the left stick down a little and not as far as u can. Thanks sm.

@GamerAbility 11 ай бұрын

Thank you for the kind words! Glad it was helpful! So as you increase your control stat you can add more loft or deloft on the shot. So if you move the stick up it adds loft to the shot which will add more backspin as well. That is why I do it on almost every shot to help get more back spin. If you move the stick down it delofts the shot hitting the ball lower in the air which will lead to more roll outs. Hope this helps!

Is the finesse shot only for certain distances or for certain clubs, sometimes when I use the finesse shot with like a 3 iron it goes too far

@jeremyko Жыл бұрын

Could you please explain how to calculate elevation and how much further/closer to land the ball? It peaked my interest when you were talking about the spinner shot and you said “it’s 6ft uphill, 6 divided by 3 is 2, add 2 yards”. How is this calculated and why is it divided by 3? Thanks!

@GamerAbility Жыл бұрын

So every 3 feet uphill takes off around 1 yard from the shot, and for downhill it will add 1 yard to the shot. So easiest way to do it is just divide the feet shown on elevation by 3 and that will give you how many yards to compensate. Now this works for most shots, but for extreme examples like at wolf creek it will not be exact. Hope this helps!

@kain0067 10 ай бұрын

Weird how the graphics for changing loft make it look like you're hitting the ball lower, which should add more loft instead of less. Seems opposite to me.

@Wastelander84 3 ай бұрын

I know your comment is 6 months old, but I just got this on sale yesterday. Thought the same thing. I was wondering why all of my shots were rolling out so much and going “imagine how much worse my shot would’ve been if I didn’t hit it lower on the ball” I think it’s because the UI has the stick on the center of the ball, so going “low” would be low on the ball. But it’s actually saying you want a lower trajectory

@cactusjackNV Ай бұрын

@@Wastelander84 It's confusing for sure. Hitting high means backspin and loft if I'm interpreting everything correctly. *shrugs*

Man , I went from +2 and more, to making almost pure birdies, after watching your videos! I still have to learn a bit about dialing in when the slops raises or falls (math wise and placement wise) but... yeah..also getting a bit confused about when to use loft or deloft haha :D Edit: And I just went and made a tiny hole in one from 150yards with a finesse shot.... My only problem is - I can't figure out when the finesse shot will do a backspin or not. Usually when I use my 3 iron, it just keeps rolling straight ahead when landing - no back roll or anything. It has made me miss quite a few birds. :/

@GamerAbility Ай бұрын

Love to hear that!!! Glad the videos have been helpful! So this may help with the finesse shot. So hitting a finesse shot even with full loft on woods, hybrids, and 3-6 irons basically cannot generate backspin. So in those ranges use the approach shot with full loft for more spin. Now when hitting a 7 iron and above with loft that is when you can generate a lot more backspin and spin the ball back with a finesse shot. Now with wedges you have to be very careful with loft, because you can get a lot of backspin with finesse shots with wedges. Sometime I fully deloft wedge shots into the green when i want less back spin. Hope this helps! Have fun!

I find that everything just goes in the fairway. And second shots are beyond easy. And then you hit 2K 23. I know a game is good when my dentist says are you grinding your teeth. And that’s what I do with 2K 23. I’m on the edge on every shot and in control in every shot. Yes the presentation lacks in 2K 23 but I do have to say the gameplay for me is far superior.
