| A few things first off. The guide isn't perfect, it just gives a general basis and idea on what to do. If you have any suggestions or information on how to make it better, post it here and I'll look into it and edit into the guide if I feel it belongs. A slight word of caution. This guide is intended to get the ball straight into the cup. If you end up missing while trying, you may end up roughly 10y or more past the cup, so you may want to keep this in mind. Note: A 25y flat lie with 0 elevation will be used as a basis for the entire guide unless otherwise stated. * Also, in the previous guide, I suggested adding backspin to the shot. As I no longer do this, I am unsure as to its effectiveness. So, if someone would be willing to test this and see if it helps, hurts, or has no effect at all, it would be greatly appreciated. - For starters, make sure you are using the 6i. It is quite easy to take your shot only to find too late that you forgot to use the 6i. - Next, adjust for wind. All examples are given with due East and West winds. (I'm using the same screenshot for each wind, so just assume the given wind.) 1m 2m 3m 4m 5m 6m 7m 8m 9m - Next is power. We will first cover ground properties. For the following properties, adjust power accordingly (Storms affect % by 2%, so add 1%, though this is only hypothesized): 100% - Subtract 3% 95% - Subtract 2% 90% - Subtract 1% 85% - Subtract None 80% - Add 1% 75% - Add 2%. - On the bar, assume each black mark as 10%. So, for instance, if you were 22y from the cup and shooting from rough, you'd aim for the 2nd black line. - For adjusting power to deal with head/tail winds. Add 1% power for every 3m head wind. Same for tailwind, only subtract 1% instead. ** This part of the guide is still under heavy speculation, so you may decide to use your own best judgment. - Elevation. It would seem that for every 2y the cup is higher/lower than the ball, you need to add/subtract 1% to your shot accordingly. - Range. The given help thus far is under assumption that you're roughly 25y away from the cup. But for shots 19y and under, the 'rules' change a bit. When adjusting for wind, cut back a bit. Also, adjusting power for head/tail wind switches from every 3m, to about every 4m. For shots 33y - 39y, when adjusting for wind, move about an additional 1 cup width. Power remains roughly the same. That's about all I can think of. If you have any comments or suggestions, leave them here. Also, if you'd like help in-game, just give me a heads up, and if I've got time, I'll help teach you in-game. |

| Sandra it is actually. it ends up being 8% over the second mark. See your going from the rough that incures a -5% penalty to power that you have to compensate for. |
 |
| I added a bit about adjusting for E/W winds, though you probably already have few problems with it. |
|
| Damn mathemeticians!!! I just guesstimate, take aim, and PRAY really really hard... lol. Which may account for my crappy gameplay. =^_^= |
Chelle said: Damn mathemeticians!!! I just guesstimate, take aim, and PRAY really really hard... lol. Which may account for my crappy gameplay. =^_^= That's basically most of my shots, but if I think there's a good chance for a chip-in, I'll try to do the math (and then fail the shot). Also, a bit about power adjusting for shot penalties was added. |

| considering my game about 3 levels ago you'd think I'd be an expert at chipping in by now...unfortunately short distance chipping is something I suck at, and lately I can't even make long chip-ins T_T cursed~ thanks for the tips tho |
 |
| Redid the entire guide. Used and reused a screenshot for wind adjustment, so sorry for the poor quality. Still imperfect, but it may help from time to time. If I missed anything, tell me so I can fix it. |
|
| There's no guide for long chip in? :) Cause i would be overjoy if there's 1. For now, nstarz has teach me how to count it, roughly. But so far 1 out of 10, i managed 2 of them only. So i think i'm still missing something. ANy help is greately appreciated xD |
