Unexplained shot behaviour
Too many times the ball will travel in a direction that doesn't make any sense. For example, the wind is 7mph going left, I hit a centre perfect shot but the shot goes to the right of the aim arc, w...

@ELF014 I’ll explain a couple of things and I know you’ll understand what I mean. Regarding chip shots, they’re just very unrealistically short in that it’s easy to play a 20+ yard chip shot in real life and by that I mean, the shot carries 20 yards. Pitch shots are also a little short too
What I mean by loft and lie angle adjustments is that for example, I might like my 5 iron to be a degree stronger to plug a little gap between that and the club above for example and by lie angle, I mean the angle at which the shaft points to when you address the ball. A flatter angle promotes a shot that launches left a little more for a right handed player whereas a more upright angle promotes a launch that goes more right. Of course this cannot be done cosmetically, but within the mechanics.
Regarding shot types, I’m going to agree with you. It’d be great for us to be able to manipulate our player’s stance and club so that we can get creative with our shot types
While I’m here, I’d really like to see penalty areas and OB areas marked on our hole maps. It’s frustrating to hit a shot, have RNG take over and the ball to land in an area that seems okay only for the game to tell us it’s out of bounds. I played a round at Royal Liverpool on the game and I actually referred to my real course yardage book for the course and it worked. I think I shot a 67 or something 😆
Thanks as always. It’s always good to see input from someone else who actually understands the game of golf. A 9 handicapper, trust me, thats a pretty good level. When was the last time you played for real? I’d love to hear.
Thanks again.
Actually you are talking about every point I have made at one time or another.
Being able to bend your clubs in a Pro Shop is a concept I would like to see to fix gaps between clubs. I would also love seeing grooves wear down over time with the option to send your clubs to the Pro Shop for regrooving. And why not do the same with grips... where you lose a lityle control over time.
I have also complained about not showing us where the OB is in the overhead map. There are so many areas where there is OB in unexpected areas.
I play a lot of different sports so I tend to float between disciplines. Over the period of 8 years I spent a lot of time with a club in my hands. I have picked up a club twice in the last 8 years, and the last time wasn't pretty on my score card.
But thanks for the kind words.
