slow swing, draw/fade questions
anyone know why I'm always getting a slow swing on full shots? I don't understand how to not do that...my dude moves super slow for the first 3/4 of the backswing even though the joystick is pinned back and waiting for him to finish his sloth-like backswing so it isn't a huge underswing %

Also it almost seems like the draw/fade are inverted, draws are push fades every time... how are you supposed to actually draw it

Try changing your swing type to slowest.

Good luck with it.

Whether a player draws or fades a ball should have nothing to do with the speed of a players swing.... how a player fades or draws a ball depends entirely on their swing plane and grip, nothing else, certainly NOT how fast of slow a players swing is.

I think the advice was to make it easier for you to hit the timing at the correct spot. It does indeed help if you try a swing and constantly are getting slow feedback, setting the swing type to slowest will make it much easier to hit the sweet spot without changing your motion.

As for the draw and fade, I haven't experienced them being inversed. Keep in mind ofc if you're playing with your own created golfer and you are not exactly max level yet, that there is gonna be some randomness involved on what type of shot you will pull off. If it gave you the exact shot you expected 100% of the time, then there would be no point in the progression model of your golfer and your stats. Even while maxed out or playing as one of the pro players in the game, there will still be some randomness but its nowhere near the level of your created player with low stats.

It’s not swing speed, it’s tempo. Tempo does affect the club face being open or closed, in the same way shaft flex can. If your hands get ahead of your body the face will be closed and if your hands lag too much the face will be opened.
So is the backswing always this slow? I’m used to tiger woods 14’. I thought my settings were messed up but the rest of the game runs fine it’s just the backswing that’s in almost slow motion
