3 BEST SHORT GAME SHOT TYPES | EA SPORTS PGA TOUR

[@mrclancymac1]

Thanks king

[@myst8217]

There's too many ways to hit the same shot & that is what's cool.

[@polpox12]

flop shot is the worst. You are guaranteed not to hole out

[@mikegreene8461]

Just trying to help...please see a speech therapist.....your lisp is due to the fact you place your tongue in an incorrect position for some words. It is an east fix, just a few weeks. Or, you can practice in the mirror, keep your tongue behind your teeth. Good luck.

[@Ma_Kachada]

I'm all set, but thanks

[@larryventresco7797]

Hello, could you explain how to upgrade your shot types from bronze to gold and what does it cost to do it? Thanks

[@Ma_Kachada]

Under your golfer there are skill points. You get 50 total. Under each category there are little shields that say what level of shot type you get for adding skill points to that level.

[@JPKD91]

I'd put the 60 degree chip ahead of the flop, purely because the make % will be so much higher once you get the run out dialled.

[@dantecirelli3137]

I'm terrible at this game. I'm so bad the game feels completely broken to me, and I've played many many golf games. Maybe I'm just getting too old 🤷‍♂️

[@sbr-synrosimbugracing9338]

I have an xbox and bought "The Cup" version of the game. Do these tips work for my version and platform?

[@choocharoo]

For me I use flop to get it within 5-8 ft. But your not sinking them. Pitches i allow for 8 yds and can sink those 10-15%. Chips are brutal until you learn the distance. Like so brutal lol. However you can make these the most. Spinner I’ve never tried. Long flop and high flop don’t seem as good either. Lots of types of shots and approaches but many suck. I’m only lvl 30 with no club specs etc and -8 or -10 a round. Can’t imagine how easy this game is kitted out and high lvl.

[@TechieBuildsTiny]

Appreciate your vids as one of the only people actually going into detail about this game. Would love if you could explain some things like does difficulty affect xp gain etc but keep up the good work!

[@rickinwast]

Come to rely on the flop shot. Made a few repeated mulligan attempts w/the chip and found it too unreliable as to actual distance and roll out. Sure, it could be the higher percentage shot vs flop to make the shot. Now, if there was a better swing meter to determine partial shots...

[@matt79hz]

Kind of a shame the flop is the easy go to shot, when it's actually the most difficult in real golf.

[@hollywoodsports2865]

Thank you 👍

[@redh8606]

I got about 20 hours but man I can’t putt for nothing

[@Clearo]

Pick shot with max loft stops almost immediately. It has saved me countless times when in the bunker and a pin that is close to me

[@Klondike4416]

The main problem I am having is par 3's. Do you have any videos or tips on how to hit the green on a consistent basis without overrunning it?

[@Ma_Kachada]

Yeah check out my guides to approach shots and controlling spin shots.

[@risefm001]

Thanks for these tutorial and guide videos, midKnight! Really excited to see the swing video.

[@risefm001]

Just looping back around to say after watching this video this morning and using these shot types (and working toward the Pick which I don’t have yet) that my short game has drastically improved. I’m a big believer in using the Challenge Mode’s training section to really get some reps in with these shot types. Thanks again, midKnight!

[@Ma_Kachada]

Love to hear it. Thanks for letting me know

[@LesDuffy]

I use the flop shot a LOT and it works great. Not sure if I have the pick shot yet or not.

[@lonelysdomain]

flop is great but i prefer the high flop it seems to stop alot quicker than any other shot.

[@scottsomnia]

New to your channel was looking for some tutorial that explained things easily. Great stuff. Line to see one for getting the right distance.

[@Philthy_777]

Hell yeah! Been waiting for a channel like this to come out. Easy subscribe ⛳🏌️‍♂️

[@madf3rn]

For beginners that don't have skill points I still use pitch use bring it back like 12ft put low loft and it can be close less running. For blast I'm pulling it way back and again low loft and less then full swing. Chip I don't use cuz I don't think I have a 60 wedge options only 7i, Also for driver get powershot and smash the X while u pull back to get a super power shot animation. Floppy is poppy good but I short them also lol.

[@Ma_Kachada]

If you cycle through clubs you can chip your 60. It just presets 7 iron

[@milanbaros2005]

Getting the game today, thanks for the tips.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

Avoid flop - bunker - use pick shot …. In windy courses use knock down approach ….don’t use too much back spin

[@zimmy4868]

The pick shot is god tier

[@theOzz13]

Appreciate the info. I’m running off to get that pick shot now

[@pjas09]

Thxs mate for the info … Just a question about audio, mine reset to default every time I reload or first start game … Is this me or game?

[@Ma_Kachada]

It is not just you. Needs to be fixed

[@OshineTheOranguTANK]

i was so bored and sick of the normal xbox gamepass titles and tried out this gem, had no idea how addicted i would actually get to it tho 🤣i hate golf but the game is pretty legitt ngl

[@flashfilms8587]

Bro same! I just started playing last week! I looked through the entire gamepass library to find a game and I found this!

[@OshineTheOranguTANK]

@@flashfilms8587 the team tournaments, online and career modes, plus the leveling system is pretty mint. no crazy ass pay to win system or micro transactions like most good games today have

[@MatthewWeller88]

Thanks dude, appreciate it!

[@simonk9561]

Love your content on this game thanks.

[@badd2049]

The flop gets high enough that the wind will effect it a bit so just keep the in mind

[@Ma_Kachada]

Great point

[@Wazza25]

Coming from playing a lot of 2k, these videos are really helpful thank you!. I pretty much mastered 2k on the hard settings,i adore it. Got this one on my xbox yesterday. I love it, I knew I would as I love anything golf. Its a lot harder than 2k though, which is fine I'm up for the challenge. Just wanted to comment to say thank you these help also that I subbed and liked! ❤️

[@chrisrosser2830]

Love the videos! Would love your input on the Edge controller setup!

Awesome! Thanks!

good stuff! Keep it coming!

[@dreweboygaming]

Yay!! Finally tips vids 🥰

[@richmagpies4427]

You can change the view angle on the flop challenge so the rock behind you doesn’t totally obscure your golfer…not ideal but is a work around until they fix it. I used this to do the first 2 stars…making the flop shot into the cup is tough and still haven’t done it! Same for the chip in star…must have had 100 goes with no success! Lost count of the times I’ve shaved the hole, 😢

[@Ma_Kachada]

It'll come

[@Jabroni_]

That flop challenge is brutal! Had so many sit right on the edge of the cup.

[@maninthebox0]

Perfect these because the greens are totally broken at this point. The breaks aren’t consistent and I tried that putt assister just to see what it’s about and I have no clue what the hell they were trying to do with it. I thought I was following it and putts weren’t even close so I turned that right back off.

[@Ma_Kachada]

Apparently They acknowledged there is a green issue and needs to be patched

[@maninthebox0]

@@Ma_Kachada that’s awesome to hear

[@wirzy618]

Do you cover Draw and Fade shots on one of your vids? Totally lost on how; hate that it’s done thru LS and that the results are backwards.

[@Ma_Kachada]

Not yet. Will soon

[@CaptainKielbasa]

Can anybody explain how to set power? Let's say you are lining up an approach shot. I move the cursor down or towards me to shave off some power on the shot. When swinging, do I still push up with a full swing, or do I press up before the ideal swing point? I still don't get power and doing half swings in this game. There is no way to determine half power, quarter power and all. A little confusing compared to 2K.

[@Ma_Kachada]

Yes. Wherever you move the cursor that is now the full swing distance. It is not like 2k where the full swing gets adjusted

[@CaptainKielbasa]

@@Ma_Kachada Thanks!

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

These shots like flip being op. Need to have like a fat or thin. If you swing too fast or over swing it should thin the shot, if you slow or under swing you should get a fat. That’s what golf games are missing. Flops shouldn’t be just oh I’m aiming dead at it and I’m going to be tap in really no matter what

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

Really does nothing but gain or take distance off. Also wish they made the lie matter. Say you try hit a flop but it’s more plugged it should have different outcome. Just like real golf if you’re kind of plugged you aren’t going to hit a flop. But with that I feel like approach game will be where the game will really separate people. So far to me, drive or approach to me neither one holds the green at all. Say I have 232 in that’s a 3 wood. I hit it higher to land softer could be at front of green that slants up I’d still land it at the front and it roll all the way off the back into the rough. Anything really over a 6 has no bite on the game. Dk if I just haven’t unlocked what I need to unlock but that’s finesse shots or approach shots neither bite. I’m having to club down 2 clubs to get green. But then it’s also like why care about hitting the green I can just flop it out of the heavy rough for a tap in. My strategy has been just smack the ball down as far as I can get it flop it out play a birdie. Or par on 3s unless it’s 7 iron down.

[@Ma_Kachada]

I think the lie will be patched because it seems to be an issue

[@gakkieNL]

You play with the arcarc off? I’ve set it to full, the shadow is where the ball should end up?

[@Ma_Kachada]

Yes and yes

[@gakkieNL]

@@Ma_Kachadas that taking in account things as lie, elevation and wind? It’s where it lands right? The roll has to be added right?

[@Ma_Kachada]

see new video just posted to calculate those

[@digitalvictory8266]

Man, that Spinner is my Go-To when I have a little distance to cover. That thing is pure GOLD for saving par.

[@Jok3rzGrinn]

I just tried the spinner, probably my go to now over the flop, thx for the tip.

the game isnt even out yet, how the hell are u playing?

It came out today and ea pass and deluxe edition people (I think) have been playing for a few days.

There are still other shots like high flop etc

Yes I should have mentioned high flop too, but I kind of assumed mentioning flop included high flop. My apologies
