Release notes for today state "Incorrect wedge distance shown on UI fixed." What does this mean? Is this related to the issues presented in this thread?
LoL
Hmmm, as have I Joe. Now that I look my last post is not here. Perhaps it was too damning?
I have posted additional comment with a video, last night....just waiting for it be approved I guess..
Agreed king, hate it when I am too locked in and don’t notice the golfer switch and shot goes way past the hole. There is a difference distance wise between where a chip vs pitch is played in terms of length from hole. Here is a video of a wedge shot. I know I’m using a ball but I still do not get how it can land 6yds further than distance hit? It is as if game played for a tailwind which it clearly was not....Wedge
Here is another example of a 97 yard shot making NO SENSE what-so-ever. This shot was setup at 97.5 yards and flew 98. Uphill 15 feet into the wind.
Never fails 100yd shot, perfect shot from fairway and I’m 10yd short off the green with only a crosswind. Really wish there could be some response here?? Not going to continue too much longer contributing and supporting this game when it has a defect that is just being ignored....
Would like to keep this alive because this is still a issue. I have lost so many match mode games because the wedge problems it’s laughable. Had 60yd shots that aren’t even on the greens! I don’t know what the deal is but wedges have just become impossible to calculate. Sometimes they ignore slopes but do have wind effect or sometimes it’s just the opposite or sometimes ignores both you just don’t know. Maybe we could get some elaboration of what the problem is or if it’s even being a confirmed issue and is looking to be fixed....??
I agree Joe on wedges having some other code for how elevation and wind affect them. I've learned to just ignore elevation and wind on shots 60-100 yards but for newer players or players who don't know this it is very very frustrating.
As for good shots I can't say I've noticed it affecting my yardage more significantly but I will have to pay more attention to that now. I think I honestly never really know how far a wedge is going to go anymore so I probably don't notice it and just chalk up to the normal GOOFY wedge behavior.
Would also like to add that this is the effect the erratic wedges have on us all. Any other club in hand I’m very exact with calculations slopes, winds, elevation, etc (very similar to what Sour stated earlier) but when it’s a wedge shot I am NOT going by my calculation script. Why is that? It doesn’t work for wedges. It is as if they have some other calculation code that seems to change for every single hole. So I find myself often going by what happened on holes when previously played but then trying use calculations, what I get in the end is either a flat out guess with fingers crossed or some modified calculations that do not make sense.......And while we are talking about wedges one other thing I notice is a good shot using a wedge has a hefty yardage decrease compared to all other clubs. Anyone else notice this or just me?

Shots from 60-100 yard DO NOT behave as they should. They appear to ignore elevation and wind unless it's extremely severe. There are times where a shot up hill and into the wind land exactly where I target. Below is a clip of me on Oak Hill white tees (where it shows the ball flight line) where I am on very level ground with a slight wind right to left. You can see that up to 60 yards it says my ball will land short. From 60-100 yards it says my ball will land long? How is that possible? I'm technically aiming further and further up hill, even though it's very slight.

I have also heard from many others that they notice this is well and it's costing them shots. I've also heard from others that have created support tickets on this. I myself submitted a support ticket and was told it's "behaving as expected" which cannot possibly be true.
This is NOT realistic in a game that claims to be as such.
