Using a Trackman or Trackball Mouse

[UltimaCJ]

is it not possible? I can easily flick it with a crappy $5 laser mouse but I can't use a trackball. When you flick to hit it hard ot hit at all the putter litterly STOPS in front of the ball or barely hits it. What is the BEST configuration to use when using a trackball mouse?

Unlike regular mouses, track balls lose momentium on their sensors when you flick it real hard or just at all so it makes sense why it stops midway through. Is there a fix to this?
Thanks

The game takes the speed of the mouse at the moment you hit the ball. It does not accumulate the speed from before the hit and calculates some kind of momentum.
So flicking the mouse is not an appropriate way to play this game. There are many people who do it in this way (including me in the beginning) and it normally results in an unpredictable speed of the ball. Which results in people complaining about a frustrating experience with the game.

When you try to hit the ball exactly on the spot, where it is lying, your hand will stop the mouse automatically. That gives you a putterspeed between the desired power and zero depending on the precision of your hand.

Try to continue the track ball movement at a continuous speed for some more centimeters/inches. You don't even need a long distance to swing at all. Only speed at the moment you hit the ball counts.

And btw. change the putter speed in the options. Superfast flicking is absolutely unnecessary and counterproductive.

What should the putter speed be at then? I've tried various options and the putter STILL stops RIGHT before it touches the ball which throws me off. But a regular mouse I can just pull back and hit forward.
