Stop getting outdrove out on the course and start using the balls (if you want to). Links in the description for socials and playlists for tutorials. Thanks for watching!

[@Kushenable]

legendary balls are wasted xD... fitting are way more important than golfball... green or epic golfballs are good enough and way cheaper^^

[@NoSh1tSherlock]

Rank matches should not have any mods/fittings etc in them. It should be standardized minus basic archetype choice

[@stevesumner9988]

Well done sir. I outdrive most opponents with default ball, but will be checking these guys out. I want more stopping power into greens. 3 click is serving me very well.

[@ak_malu]

I just started playing pga and im having a blast. Thanks to you I feel like im really improving. After seeing your 3-click video I dont know if I can go back to swing! Thanks for your videos! I know ill be watching more!

[@realtime_x8297]

what do you do on back swing? i can not figure it out

[@travisperry4814]

So I’m new when you use a ball is it used for the whole game then gone ? Or is it gone by each stroke. I notice you can refill btw.

[@rem408]

How are you losing the golf balls btw? Like where you see 3x. Do you eventually lose them by just playing games or by losing them in water for exemple

[@Fino-plays2K23]

I think it would be great if you could exchange sleeves of balls you don't want for sleeves that you do want. I have a ton of sleeves that I will never use. Similar to how you can exchange fittings.

[@toklongball]

Been playing this game for almost a year now and i'm just now finding out about this. Thanks for the video. New sub!

[@johncadot]

new to the game is there a bare minimum for driver distance ? Am I gonna be screwed if I don’t use all 3 full power fittings for a rhythm archetype for example. Thanks boss

[@brianh395]

I've been using them and if the other person isn't, I fly by from 30-50 yards longer. Hit a drive 398 with a tailwind in the last ranked match I played.

[@FOGDaheee]

They should take these out of online ranked, I know they won't but they should imo.

[@cincyfan80]

Yep should be straight up clubs and balls

[@dirty_danglz3570]

Also should be max difficulty for the course.

[@toasternfriends3329]

Totally agree.

[@MannyRyder]

100% apex hound did a video stating that while testing the balls they even change the green speed. The flight is fine. The bite is fine. That’s all real. A pro v1 will outfly a noodle that’s true, but to change the green speed (I think it changes a few things that doesn’t make sense) is just illogical.

[@NinjaPrimeProductions]

Cheers for this, I was wondering why other players were getting further than me. Armed with this knowledge I at least have a fighting chance now :)

[@kjw7556]

I don’t understand any of it

[@seanprasad8687]

I like your vids. Thanks man.

[@screwauger60]

I've played nearly 100 ranked rounds all with default ball. I am outdriving most by 15-30 yds and I have been amazed that it doesn't look like folks are using the consumables. Now, this is only in the bottom tier as I suk

[@larryventresco7797]

Very informative thank you

[@rickinwast]

I'm have a critical issue with the game I hope you can help with. I'm not advancing out of Tier #1 in My Career playing in Pro mode. I've beaten the 3 rivals time and again over 2 months of playing 1 (Sometimes 2) round per day. This includes winning each of the tournaments. Is this a settings issues or...? ~ Thanks ~

[@bpm982]

I would enjoy seeing the ball type played at the end of ranked matches. I use the default ball and want my swing/strike to determine the outcome vs. the ball improving my play. Can’t fault TGC/2K for the $ maker, but not sure it’s a level field in ranked.

[@scootmcgoot9068]

TGC had nothing to do with this and actually pushed to have the ability to prohibit them in societies.

[@jimishankenstien6329]

Hey did they remove the ability to back out of an online match when you don’t like the course?

[@sglsoudure]

[@louistross5592]

Thanks!

[@alfigliolia5264]

Anyone know why no one plays 3 click on here? Is it unplayable. Was thinking of buying this game but not without a good acurate 3 click. please help

[@KingdomheartsSTARWARS]

nice balls! lolololol i didnt even know about this wtf bruhh…. 😅😅😅😅 thanks for the tips! cool video!

[@thesteelehometeam]

thanks! I could not figure out how I was getting outdriven all the time!

[@sroeland1]

Now that ranked is out, the game is even pushing the golf balls more. They have some kind of "challenge" running from March 1-8 where, if you play 50 holes of ranked, you get 4 free golf ball packs. They gave away packs if you played last week's official 2K society event, too.

[@MoreRespawn]

Just saw that.

[@7vanzzy7]

Why does money only show in euros now, it used to be American dollars now it just change randomly...

[@sfreem14]

What’s the most efficient way to gain VC? Buying the legendary aviator 2 isn’t sustainable because it’s 900 for 12 balls, and I’ll probably gain 500 VC back (due to leveling) during the span of those 12 rounds. At a deficit of 400 that’s going to run out fairly quickly.

[@anthonycolantuonjr1089]

Well I got 1 more thing that I have not heard about , an being the one that outdrives most with the green master not the power graph perc, the balls definitely do matter and club percs as well but after all that there’s a little thing I discovered about where you stop the up swing on the swing meter, NEVER use all the red, it doesn’t mean the most power.you’ll instead try to stop it just after the white and up to a hairs width into the red 100 to 110 power lies in that tiny tiny area. If this helps and you never heard this please just try it , I need not promise it s true. I can show ya better than I could tell ya. I’d rather you see for yourself. 😊

[@stp366]

Didn't even know that you could use these in ranked mode. I have only used the default ball and never will I use these balls. It really makes a unrealistic and unfair advantage. I'll stick with playing societies

[@drmcroadkill3114]

Wish you would have explained how the pack gets used up and how often you need to refill them.

[@SL0409]

1 ball for every round. A pack of 12 lasts 12 rounds

[@kylemcope1]

What if you hit in to the water. Does that burn one from the pack or is it always locked at one per round?

[@theohiotrucker3248]

I learned something today. I just wish you didnt have to refill them. Everyone should pick what they prefer and it be permanent

[@bal2202]

What about the titleist balls u get?

[@jdmahle]

Just need to remove balls to make it fairer for everyone

[@andretuto5071]

The ball, how many games I have to buy a new set

[@cirbill]

How do you get better golf balls. all I get when trying is "Purchase hold on golf balls."

[@Bigtinycrawler]

How do you use or lose the balls?

[@PFGNW]

When I use a ball, how long does it last? For 1 round or until I lose it in water or something? Also, the balls come in 3 packs right? So when I use a ball does it continue to use that kind until the 3 pack is gone or does it just go back to the default ball after 1 round?

[@MoreRespawn]

1 per round. It will keep using that ball until you run out of the balls that you have selected and then it will move back to default.

[@porksmush]

So does x3 mean you get 3 rounds out of them? Like say you play 2 rounds then that means you will have one left? Also, can you use these in practice?

[@MoreRespawn]

Yes, it is one ball per round of online golf. No matter if that round is 1 hole or 18 holes. Can't use them in practice unfortunately.

[@luvenpelagius1072]

How is anybody surprised that they'd value money over competitive integrity? Since the first day these consumables were announced we knew what we signed up for. Sad reality of modern gaming.

[@gerbaldo90]

I believe the term is "pay to win"

[@AlbertoEntertainment]

LOL bro I play with the default ball, maybe I should use another one. never stopped me from getting W's.

[@MoreRespawn]

Default doesn't stop the dubs for me either, but manmnnnmm being able to drive 30 yards past anyone feels pretty good lol

[@golfballwackerguy]

Are you into sim? Wink wink, i just came off a long layoff and upload for fun but one day would like to have a community of wackers. id love to play with apex some time

[@alexmiller2357]

Seems like 2k screwed up the factors if they wanted a balanced system. Having 200 xp to distribute over these attributes is relatively simple the way they're labelled. Lots of flight and spin, minimal bounce and roll. If instead they had made bounce "stick" and roll "check" i.e. the opposite of what they are, the choices would more closely resemble real life firm or soft golf balls.

[@alfigliolia5264]

The BT lag on PS5 was so bad I gave up Golf game should be about thinking, tactics & strategy of the courrse layout. Don't enjoy stick tricks distracting & ruining game. All golf games need 3 click to enjoy golf not getting good at swinging a joystick straight.

[@HyredGunnz]

Some of you may want to sit down before i say this but I noticed now that EA has the same ball mechanic in its game as well except once you buy it you own it forever. I guess 2K chose to make repurchases as the way their game will work. I know thats a huge shocker, so calm down, catch your breath and when you've recovered have a great day.

[@jimmiehissong]

I would like to know the secret to putting. Some days i cant miss. Other days i shouldve just like helen keller read my putts. But ive lost 9 matches in ranked and 7 of those were due to putting

[@thelittlestkovo8990]

You've probably figured it out by now, but I've noticed greenspeed is wildly varied. Like a slow green takes me nearly a round to recalibrate my putting.

[@jimmiehissong]

@@thelittlestkovo8990 so i figured out the secret was actually not pulling the stick all the way back to the housing on the controller for backswing or follow through.

[@Geordie-rr2gq]

Can I ask how long a ball lasts for? A hole? A course? Thank you.

[@MoreRespawn]

A round.

[@BubbaMax]

I’m playing via Xbox and when I play against a PlayStation player there’s something unusual with their swing. It’s about a 1/3 swing, very quick and rarely do they strike it fast or slow. Seemingly perfect almost every time. Has anyone else noticed this? Also I haven’t figured out how to turn off cross play 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@theohiotrucker3248]

The weird looking swing would be people using trash 3 click

[@kjw7556]

It’s happening to me

[@TheBoardMeeple]

My issue is how often do they get used up?

[@MoreRespawn]

One per round

[@johndoe-yw7eb]

Maybe my age is showing, but I can't stand in-game currency that makes you constantly have to grind and replace depleted assets you've already bought. The last thing PC/Console games should be doing is copying mobile games. I probably would've quit gaming a long time ago if you grinded an RPG for a month to equip a great new sword, and then 12 battles later it gives you back your default sword because you wore out the new one. That's essentially what this game is doing with the golf balls, and who knows what else.

[@MoreRespawn]

Completely agree with you on all points. I have been beaten down so much that I have just accepted em all at this point. If I focus too much on it I will lose my enjoyment of gaming.

[@melaniegodwin3850]

what is the farthest you can drive

[@leemclaren2518]

Terrible addition to the game. Should absolutely be turned off in ranked for sure.

[@TheAlbinoRat]

Im here because I have a dilemma. 2K or EA. Forget price. Forget 3 weeks away. Cross play is the biggest issue for me but ignore that for now. For watcher of this vid or to the creator. How do the physics of ball rolls, movements, bounces, factors like wind, grass length, conditions hold up in 2k. I mean are the physics realistic, hard yet feel fair and in comparison to the most recent of EA games. Cross play is the make or break but do I hold out on EA. An answer to the question on simply physics / mechanics is all I need. So would people say the 2k physics hold up to the EA games / do they differ a lot?

[@Skeeternaught]

2k is a solid game. I believe ea will have much more variation between physics on courses, which they’ve been transparent with. 2k has many more courses, the designer option is what separates 2k from EA imo.

[@TheAlbinoRat]

@@Skeeternaught Thank you. Yeah don't care even for too many courses. Ball and all world physics behaving in a simulated / realistic way and crossplay are my worries. I think Imma settle on 2K to be fair. Cant run the risk of no cross play and people seem to say that 2K physics are on par (pun intended lol).

[@incmplteGORILLA]

How long do the balls last?

[@sroeland1]

One ball is used per round.

[@sfreem14]

They come as drops, but buying them with the VC is the other way.

[@sroeland1]

If you play 50 holes of ranked matchmaking between today and March 8, you will get 4 sleeves of Legendary golf balls.

[@XenomorphLee]

It’s shit like this why my interest is slowly dwindling away from this game tbh .. The game update has made gameplay weird where big random fast swings or slows are now randomly happening and I say randomly because my gameplay since basically launch has been a consistent swing and I know when it’s my error for a bad shot the bad shots that appear recently just seem to be totally fucking random .. Then they release a ranked mode Which is set to only pro and is literally just a leaderboard & badge with no incentive to play because apparently 2K doesn’t want to reward players for playing their game .. And then there’s no separation beteeen 3 click & Swing stick players There’s no option for those of us who enjoy the harder difficulty/challenge & now it feels TO ME & I’ve seen others mention the same that the gameplay feels like it’s been tweaked on master or something changed IDK what .. when it was in a good state .. But i genuinely wouldn’t be surprised if it had been changed to try steer people into this ranked mode on pro where you can play with gimmicky golf balls or just use 3 click & quite literally become the terminator of golf & shit on any real form of competitive nature LOL and I’ve nothing against 3 click but there are clear advantages to using it on pro distance & way more forgiving = 2 of a few lol! Is it that hard to add a 3 click mode with a separate leaderboard .. idk But TGC & soceties is the only thing holding me in on this game atm and I love TGC but if they’re trying to ruin a smooth gameplay experience for this casual ranked bs man it’s just making me count down the days to EA’s game even more so LOL! 2K seem like lost little pups man Don’t know when to leave a good thing & apparently don’t know wtf this community really wants & lemme speak for us all when I say it’s more then a badge & 50 variations of trees & bushes & a curb .. Like their laughing in the face of those poor course creators Lmfao Just also wanted to add as well I’ve played these games since it was the golf club .. Im really glad EA is back because even though EA isn’t perfect either I feel like 2K have really sat the fuck back with innovation since acquiring the PGA license it’s like they achieved their goal of oh ok we got the league name we’ll just cash in on this every few years now with a few minor changes & tweaks this game should be the best one we had seen yet from 2K yet & in terms of gameplay I’ll hand them the fact it has played better then 21.. But aside from that it’s literally just the club house pass every 3 months 1 maybe 2 lil in game events for free clothes or some we can buy here and there & now it’s HEYYY WE GOT RANKED!!! but this ain’t about competition it’s about can we suck some extra money outa casuals to buy these virtual golf balls like it pisses me off I think everyone that plays this game SEE’s the potential & beauty of this game Except the people who work at 2K it’s like they don’t get golf they don’t care about what golfers want or like or wanna see in game they just want more casuals who are gonna chuck money at gimmicky bs! And I really hate to see this game head down that path ..
