Confused on Swing Mechanics (XBOX)
I have been playing basically any / every golf game since MS Links 2001. I played Links and Shot Online at a very high level, but I am having difficulty grasping the swing of this game. I have trie...

@Ultrasonic_77 Yea I’ve tried that and still the same thing. Tried all of them.

Did the change at least make the issue better, as in you were slow by less? If not are you definitely pressing the button to save the change rather than just scrolling left and right between the different options and then coming back out? Only asking as I think it's less obvious than it could be that a save is required for the change to take effect.

No still slow on everything even if I slam the joy stick up. And yea I saved it bc the little save icon popped up on the bottom right.
@jaytexusSomething I thought was funny (after the fact, but infuriating while doing it) was, the FULL POWER swing challenge. I couldn't find an explanation on what was full power. So I was making sure the backswing was capped out...nope wasn't it. So then I started noticing that little power meter sometimes in the positive and sometimes in the negative...huh, well, how the hell do you keep it in the positive every time!?!?! No explanation. Until someone in this forum mentioned flicking the left stick on the follow through and not pushing it. That was it...unreal. To get full power it's about how fast you release your follow through (in other words how quickly you release the left stick after it goes forward). Flicking works best but can be pretty inaccurate at times.
Thank god a player found this and posted it, because I was losing my damn mind on that challenge. AND, after you realize how to do it it is super easy. Ugh...- @TriumphRider So "flicking" works great..
That's exhibit 1 and 1A of this game just being Rory under the hood.
That was "flick stick golf" also

Yes but it is less slow (e.g. -1% vs -3%) when on a slower swing speed, or does it make no difference? I'm asking in case it helps the devs to understand, in that if it makes no difference it implies the expected change isn't being applied.
In case it helps I've found for myself (on PS5) that to get the fastest swing speeds I needed to do a motion where my thumb came off the analogue stick at the top of the movement rather than staying in contact. Reducing the swing speed has though meant I don't need to do this.

It would just be all over the place. Sometimes it’d be less other times more, even tho I’m slamming the joystick up. But I’ll try the “flick” thing when I get home but that doesn’t make sense at all on why that would work, but slamming the thumb stick up as fast as you can doesn’t. But I will try it out for sure when I’m off work today.
