Changes to Spin?
I was playing the daily tour pro tournament and my ball seemed to be spinning more than normal. greens were listed as tournament conditions. I hit a finese shot to a significantly downhill pin an...

how do you do it in pro mode?
It should be the same as Arcade. I don't personally choose to use post-shot spin though as it's just such a bizarre concept to me.
On the high/low points above I'm not quite as certain as @jitter77 that there is zero impact on spin but the end result is the same: you shot-shape high if you want to reduce how much the ball will tend to run on and low if you want to increase it. Using low in combination with a wedge will reduce the tendency to spin back. Club choice has far more impact though, with a finesse high iron often being a better option, also noting that finesse shots run on more / spin back less than approach.

I see it in the controller settings. It shows up as an option on the bottom right of the screen. But it does nothing. If I tap LB, or hold it down while moving the left analog stick its making no difference to a shot. Are you sure this is not something only available in arcade mode? ugh.....i'm trying to stay positive here. But between the long drive challenges, and not knowing how to put spin on the ball. I'm starting to get frustrated.
- @RichAC Any chance you play with a left handed golfer? Maybe try the opposite sided indicated buttons if you do, in case they've not accounted for this like with draw/fade. There is no NEED to ever use post-shot spin though. I don't.

I'm thinking I will just stick with tour difficulty where I was told this is not even an option?

Correct, but I don't understand why you're apparently discounting playing arcade and pro modes but simply not using post-shot spin, as I and I bet a lot of others do?
Re. if the buttons are working for you, are you seeing the same lack of effect in both arcade and pro modes? Note that the control skill level on the relevant shot type will alter how large the effect will be.

I don't think the buttons do anything man. Am I supposed to see something on the screen? If its not an option in tour mode, which I believe the competitive online play is. Then I will just stick with that difficulty and not worry about it.

What was the answer to my question about arcade vs pro modes? I was trying to figure out if you may be experiencing a bug in pro mode or a wider issue preventing the post-shot spin option for you - which I guess could be a game or controller configuration issue. If it really seems this isn't working at all then it may be worth logging it as such in the bugs section.
My other point though is that you seem to be viewing it as essential for this feature to work for you to be able to play pro and possibly arcade modes when it really isn't as I never used them. If you want to only play tour mode then great but from the point of view of earning reward points and tickets I think you'll find you're putting yourself at a big disadvantage when you don't need to. I think I recall you posted somewhere you were ranked in the top 150is on pro after all? Surely arcade and pro modes can still be fun without this too?

no point i'm just gonna play tour mode. the game is already dead to me and I have no hopes of that improving. RIP.
