Bookmarking this for when I pick up the game. Great deep dive!

God damn the overlays popping up with the swing timing/path stuff is so clean. Great vid Hud! I think an important thing to note with the skill tree as well, is that the boosts only apply to certain shot types for some skills, such as floptastic. So if you aren't hitting a lot flop shots, probably not worth it.

So well-explained and presented. Good information, clear and concise. Nice to watch a thought-out and prepared "how-to" video after seeing so many on other channels that are rambling, off-the-cuff, and longer than necessary.

Thanks it helped me a lot. 😊👍

Thanks this helps me out

Thanks for the tutorial(s)! Just into my 2nd month playing this game. Trying to get 2 rounds per day under MyCareer. Currently at Lvl 20. At what point/lvl does "Power" fitting become available for the driver? Understand your logic for the club fittings.

Great video!!!

Awesome. Awesome. Awesome guide

Best video out there!

Glad you got over that fear Huddy. Thanks for the vid 👍

probably the best explained video iv seen and iv watched a few nice job

Good review m8 ;-)

Great video

Nice video mate

Another inquisitive question regarding shaping. The meter fails to break down/display percentage when moving from neutral (Let's say "0%") position to full spin ("100%"). So adding shaping fittings, how do you know the effect or difference? I use (Have mapped.) the flop with any of the wedges to control the roll. These shots are either 100% "R" or 100% "R" + "L". ~ Thanks ~

For someone whos new and well, bad at the game, how much would timing and swing path affect me as im playing on 3 click instead of stick swing. Like will the gray/white areas get bigger on the bottom and top and also which one of those is what if trying to translate it to the swing path for stick swing?

Do the passive skills stack with the skills that need to be activated? And is the roll boost skill for putting is more harming than helping (or is it actually helpful eg it makes the ball roll more only when I need the extra roll and not during downhill putt situation)? Thanks for the video!

Because I cannot handle Swing timing ( too old ) 😅, what would be the best " Skills, Attributes and fittings " and which to disregard. Thx, brilliant watching.

Swing Path is probably the most important stat... Once I put it in the high 90s I can see a major improvement.

hi i have only been playing just over a month and thought i was doing ok so ii thought is was time to get moving up to the next level but i must have done some thing wrong because now i can’t even hit a ball off the tee it’s a nightmare, i have noticed these boost coming up on the upper right box they are a nightmare to me and i can’t even get the wind direction logo on my screen . can you help is there a reset i can do but don’t what to loose my level. can you help please .

Thanks for making this because the fit thing and skill tree is completely confusing especially for golfing beginners like me who barely know (or care about) the difference between woods and irons. I've played a few golf games before and this is over the top complicated. Like pausing at 6:59 I have *NO FREAKING CLUE* what I'm looking at. None of it makes any sense. While I'm glad you're doing this video and understand you're only trying to help, I find I"m more confused after watching. I do wish that in this video you took a step back and really told us beginners who barely know the difference between an iron and a wedge, things like what a fitting is and how the system works instead of just assuming we know the difference between a shaft on an iron and a grip on a wood, or assuming we even know the difference between an iron, wood, hybrid, and driver. Or explaining in more detail what putt path is. Or the difference between a fitting, shaft, sleeve and grip so we're not totally confused in the rest of the video. So I have a few questions even after this video: 1. Is there a way to see when these skill tree things are active during a game? It seems a nightmare to keep track of, I barely even visit that screen. 2. I think I understand that in fittings you look through that left window and see what thingies (sorry those Power+7 icons, don't know what they're called) you have available for irons. Does a check mark means it is fitted? And so you have to choose which of the thingies on the left you have to attach to each club (or type of club)? And if you have say an Iron Timing +4, you can add it to only one of your irons, the other ones you'll never be able to? And does it make a difference whether you add a shaft, grip, or sleeve? Like could you add an Iron Timing +4 sleeve thingie to your 9 Iron, and an Iron Timing +4 grip thingie to an 5 iron? 3. What does "quick fit", "exchange" and "deconstruct" mean? What does "capacity 24/100" on the left window mean? 4. You said something about lie range that doesn't seem to make sense. You said the higher the rating, the NARROWER the gray area is in the putt swing. Shouldn't it be the opposite? The bigger lie range gives you more of a margin of error i.e. a LARGER width? As far as I'm concerned, 2k23 is a *DOWNGRADE* from 2k21. Does 2K sports realize there are people who are brand new to the game of golf and can't just make a simplified version without all this per-club fitting, skill tree crap. The earlier game had no ability at all to up your skill level and no ratings. So I was glad to see they were adding that to 2k23 but they've just overdone it by about 1000%. The old Tiger Woods EA games made it nice and simple, you have a set of ratings that upgrade as you go through your career. And you can combine sets of ratings to get an overall rating (more sets depending on your overall level). Nice and simple. Doing all of this per-club sleeve, grip stuff is overly complicated and too confusing to be useful. I'm seriously considering just selling this and going back to 2k21 where at least I didn't need a PhD to understand the game.

What does Lie range do exactly? How does timing help you driver if you have goid swing path does timing help with when it says fast or slow on shots

After a year of playing the game, I find just through experience that I understand the system a bit more and your video is definitely very helpful. I will not remove the original comment because I still believe it was appropriate for the time. I still think they way 2k designed the skills and fittings system was rather wonky, not to mention they're so stingy with VC so that you can spend real money on more VC. To the single-brain-celled idiot who replied to the previous comment, I do like the game - to watch and to play on computer. I understood Rory McIlroy and 2k21 just fine, the problem came with this "upgrade" of the skill system which I still find hard to keep track of. And call me a dirty capitalist if you want, but if we're paying $60+ for a game and God knows how much for all the extras we used to get for nothing with 2k21, then yes I do believe the devs owe us at least a manual. Thanks Huddlesworth for a great video. I now realize the game, not you, were to blame for my initial confusion.

Hi , all my clubs got legendary fittings (the orange one), my question is the stats are increase when I add another legendary thats have some stats thats are better, my goal is to reach 100% in some important stats.

Are you into sim? Wink wink, i just came off a long layoff and upload for fun but one day would like to have a community of wackers. id love to play with apex some time

Question: My fiance likes to play as a local guest and it seems the only way to allow her to have similar upgraded clubs is to "fit" them for the guest player as well.. which means I have to pay double (or triple if my brother plays as a 3rd guest too) for the same fittings I've already paid for with my main character. You know of a way around this? Where she can use my fitted clubs.? Seems like a money grab unless they just play with the standard non-fitted clubs

How come my career stats are gone when I play online against an opponent?

Hi Do you loose anything if you deconstruct and start again?. Thanks

What do you do with extra fittings

I play on 3 click and not the normal swing input, what does the timing, swing path and transition statistics do for me?

1st - :P
