@Alan Kearney sorry to hear you've not had much success..

@@lindsaycollins5775 mate.. I hope you don't mind me trying to pick your brains lol. Just curious about your approach to short chip shots. Playing on master I cannot get anything but a fast or very fast when chipping say 10 yards and shorter. Similar problem in bunkers with splash shot, on these platinum courses the ball just keeps going lol I can't stop it dead. Any tips in those departments will be greatly appreciated
Tough shot to execute this year.. sometimes best to just play for the fast on chip shots if you aim as usual. There are other ways to try though. You can extend your chip shot as if you are attempting to hit a full chip, but just take a really quick backswing and hit normal downswing tempo (again very tough). As for making it stop, beware on your approach shot beforehand to lower your chances of needing to execute those nasty downhill chip shots, especially if it's from the rough and even more so if it's faster greens. Hope that helps, let me know how you get on.
I'll plan to do some more technique videos in the future, already planning a right stick version (will need time to master this) thank you for the kind words and advice/encouragement you gave before I released this one.
You sir an absolute freaking legend. This game i Swear if i dont have a popped blood vessel or develop blood pressure problems it will be a miracle. Well let me start my console up and proceed to piss myself off only to come back to this video 16 more times. I love golf.
Good to hear it (I hope lol) but you're not alone. Putting ourselves through hell and back just over a video game sometimes feels like insanity. All the best and hope you improve and enjoy! Since that's mega important!
Looks like a familiar technique. You can go blind doing that. But seriously, thank you for sharing. This is great to learn and improve upon through practice.
Consistent timing has always been the one part of this game that's eluded me. I've calibrated a dozen times and my swing is consistently, infuriatingly "fast." This technique makes sense of an otherwise baffling game mechanic. Thank you!
Question, how do you get the tempo to be where you can swing fast. I’ve been doing this method for a long time, I end up being fast on a lot of shots. I’ve swing calibrated and every time it won’t make my swing go faster so I can hit perfects.
I'm not quite sure I understand what you mean. You keep hitting fasts? My only tip would be to rotate the wrist slightly slower and calibrate as fast as it will go to compensate. There is also the training technique you could use that might help you gain more control over the swing if you haven't seen it already, ruclips.net/video/bEI1Qg6lmR0/видео.htmlfeature=shared hope this helps but let me know.
Yes I’ll swing calibrate and when I do it I’ll swing as fast as I possibly can. The thing is it won’t change it when I go back. I’m not even going fast on the stick and I still get real fast every time I hit. I have to go so slow. Like if you were to hit it the way you’re hitting it in the video on my game, it would be way to fast. My calibration won’t do anything
I calibrated very slow to begin with so that would be 10 very slows.. I then remembered what that felt like, then calibrated again but very very slightly faster (pay attention to the ball to ensure its going faster too).. it just felt a bit more natural to me and it helped with tempo.
I don't personally, but I only have a basic old original ps4 headset. I have heard it could affect it though depending on the type of headset, I have no idea what ones.
Do you hold and stick your thumb all the time on the stick or in parts if you know what i mean? My tempo is ok and timing but swing plane all over the place
The thumb is very loosely in place during the swing and pushes forward. The moment the stick hits the top, it becomes a reflex to let go. Equally this doesn't need to happen, you can just keep the thumb held there as it will have no affect on the swing after that. Infact, that's a pretty good exercise to do, over time as you get more efficient, you'll just let go naturally.
Pull back, hold, then go forward.. (that's how I view it, some call it a 3 peice take away in golf terms). One motion would probably be difficult to get in sync with the animation, but possible though if you slow the backswing down enough.
Hey, is it normal that the online mode is harder than the career mode? When I play online with my created player, the timing is much harder than in career mode.
Its possible but depends on the difficulty. Online mode defaults to pro difficulty so if you are playing something different in career that is probably what is happening.
In some of your pga2k game play why do you take your putter out before hitting your longer shots what are you seeing with the putter that you can’t see with other clubs
It was a way to see footlie by viewing the angle the putter is tilted. It was easier to do it with putter just by how it was closer to the golfer. Alot of people believe the footlie is how the player is in relation to the ball but its not, its how the ball lies on the surface itself. Thankfully when lie grids are on, none of that is necessary.
All well and good on the driving range but let's see this in an online ranked match. I think the game decides where your shot is going to go regardless of your swing and tempo.
@@LA_Lea3 it just seems to be too much RNG. When I play pro setting career I'm fairly accurate and my shorts and my swing tempo are consistent. I go to play ranked online and I suddenly start seeing random swing tempo and the game decides whether the wind or the lie is going to affect my shot
The two thumbs basically make a right angle in relation to each other. Left thumb is straight but resting on the stick, right thumb is resting just below the right stick but at 90 degrees to the left thumb.
There's a few things that might help. Have you seen the two other videos I made related to this technique? If not check out this training technique, ruclips.net/video/bEI1Qg6lmR0/видео.htmlfeature=shared If that doesn't help.. it can sometimes help see a right handed version, where I myself went through many days of struggle to get anywhere close to what I can hit with my left. That's available here, ruclips.net/video/AAXqUNxHtYg/видео.htmlfeature=shared Although this is quite long, it's likely to detail some of the struggles you yourself maybe encountering.
@@lindsaycollins5775 on Xbox you can have a perfect round going & it’ll get derailed over one shot due to tempo. I’ll go -8 on masters one round then +5 the next. It’s completely random. I play enough to compete with top players but the paranoia of random shots will derail you before it happens sometimes.
Sorry to hear this is still happening. I had xbox for about 10 years and played golf games prior to this that gave random tempo. It drove me crazy. My xbox no longer turns on and so jumped ship to Ps5.. everything, while still difficult, plays true, you know when it's fast or slow etc. I just hope over time, Microsoft sort this out. Most believe it's actually a controller polling rate issue, it would be nice if this could be adjusted in settings somewhere.
The BT lag on PS5 was so bad I gave up I see why you have it wired. Golf game should be about thinking, tactics & strategy of the courrse layout. Don't enjoy stick tricks distracting & ruining game. All golf games need 3 click to enjoy golf not getting good at swinging a joystick straight.
Must be nice to not have to swing with a wired, cheapo brand, beat to shit xbox one controller lmao. "Feel the springs in the sticks" like....my springs were sprung long ago. Many attempts at elden ring bosses later....
like, this is a cool vid and I appreciate it, but I'm a golfer and I fucking despise how they perceive timing and how important it is to gameplay. It's the worst golf game mechanic in the history of golf games and they've had multiple shots at it. I despise it, after so many years....HATE it.
I dream to one day make a golf game. My mechanics would certainly not involve tempo for a left/right dispersion, it should affect length though as that would make more sense.
@@lindsaycollins5775 I just want the tempo to seem like a golf swing tempo. If non-golfers don't know any better, why make swing mechanics that just don't feel like a golf swing? I don't get why they circled back around to the tempo and it's just as bad. The shots the tempo issue results in are shots highly unlikely to happen on tour, let alone consecutively. Nobody has a normal way of playing the game, they all have some weird method of dealing with the shit tempo mechanics. No, you shouldn't have a weird grip and no follow through and still get a perfect shot, while people taking full swings are punished the most. It's a joke.
I'm to a point of simply uninstalling the game. It's no fun at all. I will make on purpose to replicate the exact same swing, but I get different results. Do different types of pulls and pushes, sometimes get same results. Seems like it's all over the place and no technique is really helping out thus far. It sucks because I love golf... shit man, it's easier in real life!
It does take some time, there are lots of other different techniques out there if this one isn't for you. Some prefer using two thumbs, others the right stick. Sorry to hear of the struggle though.
@@lindsaycollins5775 I play on the XBox S. When you play on easy mode, it’s too easy. When you play on “pro” mode. It’s way too inconsistent. I will hit the same shot twice with different outcomes. It’s like the game pre determines where the ball is going. Online mode is “pro” only, and it’s inconsistent.
@nategotti76ify ahh yes xbox. As much as I love this system (coming from an xbox myself then hopping across to playstation) the default standard xbox controllers are very inaccurate for the precision needed on a game such as this. Most will just put up with it or accept it, while some won't even feel it. There is a solution but it's a costly one. Razor released a controller called the wolverine V2, which is wired. This is currently the way forward for xboxers on this game allowing for the randomness to simply dissappear and you'll get way more reliable input from your controller. It is currently the only known solution to this problem as far as I'm aware. (Besides getting a ps5 or pc).
I’ve been saying right hand rotation for a while to myself haha funny how we can affirm things
This is a great tutorial. It changes everything in a few short swings. With additional practice it will help my game.
Good to hear it!
That is wild you are that good. No wonder you are at the top always! Amazing! Thanks for the video!

Calibrating almost ruined the game for me. Resetting to default helped a lot of ppl.
Each time you calibrate. You adjust the tempo slightly. So you will never get used to it
shit sucks
Likewise. Fast fast and faster
@@philmartin4646 is it possible to reset to default? I am unaware but would love to.

Dang this is so good i might be able to use in in 2k basketball
I use the right stick because I’m right handed.
Does anyone SEE a Big diference on swing when u play with headset plugged in ?
I don't personally, but I only have a basic old original ps4 headset. I have heard it could affect it though depending on the type of headset, I have no idea what ones.
Link me to this version of the terminator theme plzzzzzzz!
No problem, I believe the exact version was this, ruclips.net/video/bDFlj513wyQ/видео.html
@@lindsaycollins5775 awesome. You’re the man.
Is there a benefit to using left stick or is it just a comfort thing?
Mostly comfort or preference.. technically you could do the reverse of what I'm doing and still achieve the same result
I feel much more comfortable doing the opposite. Aiming w left stick, swinging w right
Is the cable connection important?
Not really, but for the purpose of the video, it's better I show there is nothing interfering with inputs and is really connected to a ps5

Infact, that's a pretty good exercise to do, over time as you get more efficient, you'll just let go naturally.
I started just barely moving the stick back and then forward and my lines got straight bc I wasn't going all the way back like I was in beginning
Are you move up 1st then down then back up again in one motion?
Pull back, hold, then go forward.. (that's how I view it, some call it a 3 peice take away in golf terms). One motion would probably be difficult to get in sync with the animation, but possible though if you slow the backswing down enough.
@@lindsaycollins5775 Thanks i been working on this. Like to see a putting video from you some time

Its possible but depends on the difficulty. Online mode defaults to pro difficulty so if you are playing something different in career that is probably what is happening.
There is an adapter you can buy that you attach to the analog housing that guarantees a straight swing
Probably but that would be too easy
Doesn't fix the timing issue.
You'd probably just be better off watching the pga tour on television lol a straight swing adapter gtfo
I call that cheating lol
