I have been trying to play pitch shots and have been getting much better results when I set my percentage intent. It is a really fiddly shot other wise, if we are going to go with no marker I think we should look at playing with distance control meter set to percentage. Thoughts everyone?

Also you can't change the your percentage intent for putting with this setting on.

Haven’t tried that yet. Still practicing on pro difficulty myself so far. Will have a go at that.

I’m not good enough to know if it helps me or not.
Playing a lot more partial pw’s, but my partials are a lot hit and hope to be honest.

I have been trying to play pitch shots and have been getting much better results when I set my percentage intent. It is a really fiddly shot other wise, if we are going to go with no marker I think we should look at playing with distance control meter set to percentage. Thoughts everyone? I have given some thoughts on this - and still am unsure on this one. The game chooses a club and shot type for you. Alot of times, this is a partial pitch. So even if you don't change your intent, the game does so for you - and gives you the percentage for that partial shot if you have pre-shot feedback on. If you change clubs or shot type however, the intent is back to 100% so you can adjust that. The game really doesn't have a good caddie implementation. I realise that a good implementation may be quite hard to code - but the choice of the game on shot types as a caddie - I do not like that. It feels weird and not good. So the problem I may have with percentage on distance control meter in the settings, is that you get for example 82% partial on a pitch. So the game tells you what partial you need to hit to achieve what the game have intended for you. And in many cases - this is the shot you want. So I feel I kind of get some free information. Question I then ask myself; is this the caddie giving me advice? Note that the % given are usualy too much, but it still gives quite some information on your shot that is very helpful in picking the correct partial. No help in making the partial, but to know how much you need to hit to get to the green for example. |

This area of discussion is a tough one, I’ve not tried anything with the power meter other than completely off, that said it seems intent is going to be a key term in dialling in shots. Will be interesting to see TGCT’s stance on that. Personally I think we should have it off at the moment but I’m not completely chained to the idea

Agree that the pitch shots are tough. But when you dial them in it is very rewarding. Still playing on Legend and consistently in the mid to high 70s as I’ve stopped playing for perfects as it was driving me crazy. Now play a 10-15 yard cut but when I get it wrong I double cross myself. Which happens in real golf too. Going back to the pitch shot I’ve just gone with feel on how far to go back and how much I really accelerate thru the ball. Again just how we manipulate the full swing with fasts and slows/partials to adjust our distances accordingly. I’m not going to say no if the majority would want it and end up going with distance meter to %.
The way I feel about the game is great. And feels like with 2K21 they built it with USE in mind. When you pull off a shot as you intended and hit it close, I’ve never felt that way with a golf game. Still need to test out pitch shots in bunkers too. Originally it was stated for splash shots to be bunker only and although it is easy to hit it within 8-10 feet or even closer. If I was playing irl I’d aim two inches behind and splash it out. Now where the ball goes from there who knows lol. Aspects of the game are tough already and like most have only tried a flop shot once or twice and that was because I was short sided big time.

Another complexity is that the default putting intent is not well optimized for the faster green speeds anymore so downhillers are brutal without the marker.
Maybe something that can be overcome with practice, but definitely much harder than TGC19 imo and it’s seems by design.

I think percentage would be a good compromise for not having marker, on pitch shots I can set my intended percentage shot, it does give you a recommendation % but it is not always great so I find myself puting in my own percentage. I find this makes partual pitch shots more manageable tempo and distance wise. Problem is for some reason you can't change your own intended putt percentage you are stuck with what the game puts up. I do feel the splash out of rough is ridiculously easy especially LW. Hardly have to think with the shot, too forgiving for bad tempo also Good to see you back Robert. |

Still continuing to test pitch shots out of the bunkers. Definitely doable with more practice. Headed to the range and tried to hit 20,30,40,50 yards pitch shots. Majority of my misses were on the slow side and when I tried to compensate with fasts yardages were inconsistent. But when I finally started to figure it out and hit perfects it started to click. More time still needed to improve. Enjoying how we can spend time to get better on each aspect of the game like irl.
Just a suggestion to practice pitch shots, check out Walton Golf PracticeRange. Front nine there are a few par 4s but mainly par 3s at different distances. The back nine was great as they were all pitch shots from bunkers to again playing with partial approach shots. Wish there was an auto mulligan option, as one hole was in a high lip deep bunker and about a 24 yard pitch was needed. Take a look when you guys get a chance.

I don't like that percentage showing up, I turned it off. If we play with it on, and I have it off, will it override?
