Would you not be more satisfied with a swing interface that required you to replicate the tempo of a natural golf swing to achieve realistic club distances, rather than having to impose a penalty on yourself for not wiggling the stick at a frenetic speed? I understand the utility of a powercap with the current design, but I honestly think a properly designed, tempo-sensitive swing interface would eliminate the need for powercaps and the inherent unrealistically flattened trajectories they impose.

Spot on John!

PLEASE give me the option to reduce the roll in the driver distance

i have been asking for this for many years

so the distance is just the carry. but not no longer the 40 yards roll as well

its just an option and can be turned off if ppl dont want it.

please!

That's just not a realistic request.
Most times a driver is gonna have some roll on it.Unless the fairways are soaking wet and soft a driver is going to roll out just from the angle that it hits the ground.Maybe not 40 yds but some.

Right now my driver hits the ground somewhere around 300yds and then rolls out to about 320.
Now that's in Tour mode.
I have no idea what happens if you play Amateur and use full boost and spin.I could see it rolling farther though.

You're absolutely correct, yes, of course that would be ideal. But I doubt we'll see either a tempo swing implemented, or the elimination of the attributes system anytime soon. So until then, let me cap all my attributes (not just power), and I'll consider purchasing TW 11. If not, I won't buying next year's game. It's simply too frustrating watching my attributes -- my club distances and accuracy -- go up and up without having any control over it.

I don't mind power capping.What I don't like is what seems to be bad trajectories because of it.
I understand the physics of it all.True,the ball will fly lower with less power applied to it because of initial inertia,lift,etc..
But to me they seem to be out of whack.

thats exactly what i want

fairway condition which allows no roll

u go and watch pga tour and how often do you see the roll you get in tiger woods? even if you are talking about normal fairway, the roll in tiger woods is exaggerated and not realistic. the roll u get in tiger woods is more like playing in a dry links course.


do u play golf as in real life??

in any event i am asking this as an OPTION!

Use the Loft Stick to reduce driver roll....

Ditto. Which is why if we had proper PGA TOUR Pro-like distances, powercapping would be completely unnecessary. Remember, powercapping was implemented due to the community reaction to the absolutely ridiculous club distances introduced in TW09....

Can anyone tell me how to determine distances on a hole from the point where the golfer is hitting to an obstacle
like a fairway trap or a creek running across the fairway. I am using Windows Vista and a 3-click mouse swing.
Now if I click on the hole diagram to see what the distance is, my golfer instantly moves to that spot. I don't want him to move. I just want to know about club selection tov avoid the obstacle.
currently I am playing as a novice in the "practice" mode.

Wrong forum....try posting in the PC forum...

Not to take this conversation further off topic...but when we talk about ball roll/spin and loft, maybe half of the equation should be based on what ball you are playing. So swing tuner should actually become "equipment tuner" where you configure your club, shaft, and ball to attain the launch height, spin, and workability mechanics you desire. Again, all in an effort to resemble what a tour pro really does with their tech to optimize their ball flight characteristics.

I use an 8 degree driver and in "club tuner" I set the loft to max and the spin to zero. Unless the fairways are hard and fast, I get almost no roll on my drives.

I didn't think we'd ever see a fully proportional putting stroke, after three years of harping about it. We got it this year and it's changed the game from the usual, play two months and quit - to I'm just as stoked playing it now as I was four months ago! It's pretty obvious to me this development team is listening and reacting to the community.

I'll be surprised if we don't see, and most importantly - feel, a major difference in the the full swings, and possibly the pitches, flops, punches, and chips next year. If they play their cards right, that *should* translate into real world PGA Tour distances (and hopefully, trajectories)... at least in Tour Pro mode.

If we are not confined to the realm of average tour distances, we should not be confined to the same teeboxes. How about an algorithm set to back up each player's teebox on a hole, based on their driver distance?

I don't think you'll ever please everyone. Some, like me, want to play their real golf game on the Wii. I tune my clubs to how I hit it in real life, create my swing, choose my clubs/clothes based on stuff I have, etc. Others want to live in fantasy land and shoot in the 40s. So let people jack their stats up but for competition's sake just back up their tees a bit to level the playing field, so everyone has to strive for the * method and can't just bypass the first 80%+ of a hole entirely.

I'm tired of having to don a bunny suit anytime I want to try and complete online.

Excellent work on TW10 overall!
