I don't know how hard mouse is Simon but I have followed Tuffguts progress. He had a little drop in scores when he changed to a better PC but he is proof that mouse is competitive. Maybe Tuffguts can give some mouse tips for other members. This for me is about everyone helping other members to score well.We are a sim society but not an ultra competitive one. On the cross platform debate. I actually do not really see the difference between PS and PC with a DS4 controller. This whole opinion that PS is easy and every other platform is harder is wrong. The difference between a Xbox controller and a PlayStation controller on PC is way bigger than the difference between PS4/5 and PC with the same controller. I still think I can score better on PC than PS4 with the DS4. Chaps. T'was the new mouse that helped with the tempo. Previous mouse was a stock standard Logitech wireless mouse. Changed to a wired Razer Deathadder v2 and apart from being a bit longer and a fair bit lighter (swing plane can be a bit erratic), tempo has improved out of sight. My wireless mouse was all over the place even though I felt my swing was consistent. Nothing earth shattering in the set up, just try and calibrate using a smooth even paced tempo. A speed you'd want to use on the course. It's a bit weird but I find if I get the timing of the start of the downswing spot on, my tempo almost always ends up pretty close to the centre. If I start my downswing too late, I tend to push the mouse up too fast and get red fasts. It's all about the feel. Don't ask about partial shots or bunker shot....they are still works in progress for me. Here is how I see it (just an opinion). I have played with a wired mouse all the time. If I loose rhythm/tempo it is usually not so hard to find it again. As Todd said, the start of the downswing is important. I look for the armpit to be visible as a trigger to start the downswing. It’s worse when I loose the swing plane. The partial swings are tough and especially bunker shots inside 15 yards. I now Skunky have tried a controller fore some weeks and felt putting was a lot easier, but the whole experience did not feel like swinging a golf club as he has played a long time with a mouse. The biggest difference I can see without having played with a controller is the partial shots. There is not a chance I can hit, say a 3/4 wedge. That will be something between 60% to 99%. That’s why I can’t hit pitches longer than around 50%. And flops under full swing is always a fiasco. Maybe Todd is better at 3/4 swings, I don’t know. I feel that mouse players and controller players are playing two different games, but the result looks the same. No idea if one is easier than the other. The only thing I know is that I enjoy it very much with a mouse and it’s good that the controller people can enjoy it as well.  |

The only thing I know is that I enjoy it very much with a mouse and it’s good that the controller people can enjoy it as well. The principle is the same with mouse or controller with tempo of building up a good rhythm and repeating that rhythm. Personally I don't think the actual swing feels anything like a real golf swing apart from putting really. But I like the games mechanic because we are limited a bit with controller and mouse but I feel the game plays well with a PS4 controller for both PC and PS4. Personally I could never get on with a back forward mouse action, I used 3 click on the PC Tiger Woods games. I could get used to it after a while but I think it would take some time. Controller is thumb action mouse more hand and wrist. Mouse is my preferred input for first person shooter games. Just curious Mike, does lowering the DPI help with partial shots? |

I have not tried it. Never crossed my mind and would really like to stay away from fiddling with that stuff. Experience tell me that it never ends, affects other games/programs and it ends with me not wanting to play anything anymore. |
