Shots 60-100 Yards are Broken

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.

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?

Yeah don't think they are gonna show up. Oh well, think you saw as well, Ryan pretty gave 411 about these shots, seems to be working but still is unrealistic by the creators. But this is just one of many issues I have. For instance I'm on a tablet and after setting up your putt if there is a lot of break the golfer blocks the view of the hole when setting power/taking shot so it is just a guess if it's all correct, can't even tell if guide is in the hole. Just cost me twice on eagle putts today in Yatani clan. Haven't even mentioned all the needle skips as well. And I honestly think I'm about done with all this. All these issues are just taking all the fun away for me personally.

Easy way to see it Sour just hit a good shot when near green 30yds and watch how short it comes up...

So I was looking at our discord and forgot about a conversation with Smashh & Kixaz
about this same subject.  Kix was saying he had to reduce his chips and pitches around greens by 2-3yds because they were going to far.  Smashh had told me, for wedge only, when shot is 3/4 shot of full he cut wind & elevation in half and then applied the normal calculations.  When it was a 1/2 shot disregard elevation, play it as level.  I left wind out of the 1/2 shot because he was still fiddling with that but unless it is a ton of wind he disregarded that on 1/2 shots and only wind direction was accounted for. Just some other perspective is all. Just what he did to try and combat the wedge wackiness.  Wish he was still playing....☹️

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....??

Agree. Please just confirm this is being looked into or give some clarification. Often I hit very short and end up only a couple yards away. If I hit what I calculate I’m over. Sometimes I end up 15 yards short. Guess game is no fun.

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.
