Yea, there is a delay...what is funny is that it only seems to be in the backswing portion on my Xbox. The downswing is almost immediate. Very strange.
Also, the game is still very inconsistent. Foe instance, I was doing a Bubba Watson spotlight challenge at the Masters and I used the 3 click method because the left handed swing motion was throwing me off. Well, according to the 3 click method I was perfect on both swings and was teeing off (so i was on level ground), however the ball went about 20-30 yards to the right. How is that even possible? Hahaha. I'm sure someone will give some excuse but it's simply ridiculous. Perfect swing on level ground shouldn't deviate that much from the indicated flight path...but it still does!
Ugh...game still has many flaws.

Wind and/or the deliberate random element to shot outcome especially prevalent before improving Accuracy skills are the likely causes of this, rather than a bug.
- 2 years ago@Ultrasonic_77 Well now that would be an issue...1) I'm familiar with the wind aspect, so that is a no go, and 2) DELIBERATE randomness...huh. So I'm not 100% but in the challenge you are using Bubba Watson and, I believe, you are using his statistics and clubs, not your own. If otherwise, I would like to know for certain, not just a "take my word for it". Pretty sure I'm correct here though based on the challenge.
Also, putting intentional randomness in a skill sports game is a bit strange. I wasn't claiming it was a "bug" per say, but to tell people...your a level 40 (not saying it's a super high level, but definitely good enough) with good accuracy and control in your drives, BUT randomly we are going to absolutely mess up your perfect drive willy wonka style just for the hell of it...doesn't seem like a great game feature. Challenges may need you to make 5-15 shots in a VERY SPECIFIC way to complete, but "randomness" is added just to make it more infuriating? Haha. Eh.
I'm in my mid-40s (age wise) and been gaming since my teens. Not my first rodeo. Plus, there are a lot of people posting examples but I keep seeing excuses as to why things are a certain way...with no backing or support just the believe my random guy say so. I tend to lean to, the game is far from perfect and things need to be adjusted slightly still.- Ultrasonic_772 years agoHero

Note I have no more insight into this than you do though, and I'm a similar age to you as well for what it's worth.
If you share a video of what you're experiencing it will be easier for people to get an idea of what's going on and whether it is a bug or not. This isn't a challenge I've tried myself yet by the way.
