I found on YouTube a video showing what I mean when I say it's two clicks. I add that in Perfect Golf over this old version of Tiger Wood is that in PG you can "work" on the ball not only with more or less spin...

I'm not sure, but I think he just wants to start the swing with a click and set the power with a click.  No snap.  At least that's what I took from that video.

WTF?  Might as well just point to where you want the ball to go and the hit the "swing" button.

I was thinking about just a "Put ball in hole" button.

That would make for some quick rounds and great scores!

Two clicks i.e. Click to start and hold, release when correct power is attained and click again at the snap.

So you complicate the game, after you can not finish -36 as you do now.

Isn't hitting a ball straight kind of a skill? If you have no snap every shot will go dead straight. Really?

See my post above frank70. There is still a snap click.

Yes, (in the absence of wind), always go straight.

But if you want to spin the ball with PG you can have the effect/fade, while in that old Tiger Wood, with that shooting mode you could not.

I read your post, the solution that you propose is also good, it is the same as in WGT.

Why would you want a swing method where every shot goes straight automatically?

I don't really understand why you would want this feature. I thought you were just trying to explain the 2 click method that I've outlined above.

I play with the gamepad in RTS mode as being more realistic. I always go straight, but I turn the ball when I think it's time to turn it around. I do not understand why in 3-click mode, to go straight I have to center a small line with a cursor traveling at an exaggerated speed, and if not the center line I go between the trees or out of bounds. Why?

[Crow357]

LOL, yes, perfectly straight shots are more realistic.

[IanK]

I also use a (PS4) controller/gamepad with RTS. I have my player set to 'Tour Pro' which gives a very realistic and rewarding game. If you want every shot to go straight I suggest you play TGC.

If you are always hitting straight on gamepad then you are either playing on an easy level or you have a gamepad with a large dead zone that is giving you an unrealistic experience. It is actually really hard to hit straight on a 'good' gamepad on the harder difficulty levels.

It's not that difficult to drive it straight. I have around 700 hours using RTS-M under my belt.... and around 20 hours with an xbox controller.

And i hit more fairways with the controller. It's one of the biggest gameplay-weaknesses left: Driving with RTS-C is way too easy, a lot of players hit driver from the fairway regularly. And since the last big update this holds true (to a lesser extent) for 3-click as well. The long game is hardest with RTS-M. Putting is a bit easier, but all in all it is easier to be competitive using a controller. Golf is rather easy when you hit 13 of 14 fairways - which is rather common for good RTS-C players.

I can't say I agree using Tour Pro. I think the difficulty is set just about right. Any harder and it would be frustrating.

Master when I will not have to stay on the farways to get to the green, call it to teach me how to go wrong
