Also, are you guys deliberately slowing your backswings anywhere using intent? I’ve tried doing it and not doing it, but I’ve not found a method that feels right yet. I don't touch the backswing. Off the fairway GW pitch little half shot for those 35 yarders little run out from the shot. Been killing myself with the LW for all shots under 53 yards. |

I’ve tried doing it and not doing it, but I’ve not found a method that feels right yet. m Not really, normally the computer sets you up on an ok intent for the club in your hand so I just look at the lie and the elevation and give it a couple of taps forward or back depending on those factors, you obviously can’t see the marker but you can guess a little. I then try and imagine I’m playing the shot I’m real life and swing accordingly. Basically.... I’m just winging it on feel alone but this game suits a feel player - also consider using fast downswings to nullify misses into greens and off tees |

Thanks.
Typically the game gives me too fast normal backswing intent and too slow out of bunkers and the rough.
I have been a “feel” player since TGC2019, and this game seems to lend itself to that style of play. I just don’t have the feel down yet. Practice on the range has been only marginally helpful; it changes day-to-day and today’s feel rarely carries over from the range to today’s course (if that makes any sense).

Which clubs are you using Jeff? The longer ones or shorter ones? I’ve got the Taylor Made woods and hybrids which are shorter and more forgiving. D carries 267, 3W carries 241 and 4H goes 213. Callaway irons 4I-9I at 10-ish yard intervals between 186 yds and 140 yds. Either Wilson or TM wedges 124 yds to 88 yds. I’m making a lot of one and two foot par putts, but attempting too many 10 - 20 foot par putts after missing the green. I’m at about 65%-75% FIR and 55%-65% GIR. Long game mostly okay, except there’s always two or three holes where I get a F__k-off Slow or Fast that almost always results in a double or triple that destroys my round because I’m not scoring birdies at all at this point. At the moment I am using the Taylor Made clubs. The entire set, the short versions. Still fight to get a feel for everything lol. |

Another thing I’d like to discuss is calibration. Has anyone else had the impression that a calibration only affects the current game session; that restarting the game/console resets the calibration?
If that’s not the case, then my tempo is grossly different from day-to-day and even morning to afternoon.
Yesterday I calibrated for a very fast forward stick movement, and when I finished I couldn’t hit a Fast no matter what I did. I was either Perfect or Slow. Rebooted this morning and the first swing out of the gate was a Very Fast. That should have been impossible given the previous calibration.

It would be nice if 2K would give some info on how it works. |

Rebooted this morning and the first swing out of the gate was a Very Fast. That should have been impossible given the previous calibration. I don't understand this calibration at all. It would be nice if 2K would give some info on how it works. Craig at HB has given info: "Calibration is extremely simple. We take the average downswing timing of your 10 calibration swings and adjust dead perfect to the average of those swings, within an upper and lower bounds of what is an acceptable balance. The point of calibration is to adjust perfect to align with a users more natural timing. Swing calibration will never make you hit perfect all the time. Our swing timings are dealing in the thousandths of seconds - repeating a perfect 0.00X second timing is always going to be extremely challenging regardless of calibration. A couple other points/rumors I've heard...I might as well just address here. - Swing Calibration is NOT lost when restarting the game - it is permanent until recalibrated again. - You do NOT need to recalibrate with new clubs. Dead perfect is identical for ALL clubs. The forgiveness attribute scales the window around perfect. - Perfect downswing timing for ALL shot types at 100% power are identical. Normal, Pitch, Flop, Chip, Splash - they are all the same. The timing window scales based on shot type, but absolute perfect is the same. (just like it was in 2019) Hooefully this info is of some use." |

Did I mention how much I love Wade's Mauna Kea GC. I finally broke par on this game with master swing, 171 greens on this lovely course. (which plays great on 171 greens).   |

Whether you recalibrate or not you have to learn the set tempo. Either the default HB one or the one you set from an average of ten swings.

Played my first round at Cabot. Pretty OK first nine, some mistakes and a couple of brutal par 3s on the back. And then there was 17 and 18... -5 in two holes... Dont think Ill do that again anytime soon.  |

Got my final USE exhibition round in at Cabot Cliffs. Quick start with birdies on the 1st and 3rd holes. Pitch shot on the 3rd was played perfect and had a tap in. The miss that bugs me the most is the flared out short and right shot that has no chance of heading towards the target. Hit my drive way right on the par 5 7th and hack it around for a double bogey. Again, all that work gone. Back to back birdies on 13 and 14 put me into red numbers. But a bogey and double bogey on the par 3 16th, which I had no way of getting up and down from above the hole. Thought about the flop, but that lie was dead. Finish at +1 for the round and event.

That 16th is a nasty little par 3.
Course overall is fantastic. Great design!
And - its really hard still to break par in this game on Master.
