Hope this tutorial helps you understand how the mechanics of the swing and tempo work. If you are looking for a description of how fast/slow tempo changes the accuracy of your shots and what it does to the ball, please check out this video at the timestamp I have provided: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mKrKqnuDlsd9Zqc Edit: I have found that the putting method for tempo also works for chipping.

I read on EA’s website and understood it when on course when i saw it; that your yardages and ball flight differ from high altitude courses to coastal courses, not just the run of the ball but the actual flights and length of clubs do too. Apologies if you were already aware of this. But i noticed it when i went from PGA west where my driver goes 293 yards but pebble beach it says 303 yards.

[@alanskamfer8525]

This is a great video. It would have been nice if there was a tutorial with information like this in the actual game.

[@FreshTilDeath247]

I feel like I’m playing farming simulator 2.0

[@shaunwalz6153]

Couldn’t agree more. Thank you so much. I was 100% always getting slow 1.5% and now I know why!! 🤣🤣

[@ufcfan3940]

Why😂

[@shanew7361]

The mechanics and putting are trash.

[@lmc1dj]

I am loving my Career mode, its got depth, and iam loving completing each comp by playing the course 4 times, it's a grind, but with the tee and wind changes it makes it fun.

[@thetowndrunk988]

It’s an awesome game, but good lord it takes forever to earn XP after awhile

[@Crazycanuck1985]

Great video sir! As someone who has played nothing but 2K for years, this is all great information I didn't know!

[@JonnyPlaysGolf]

This was really useful! I had no idea why I was always slow on the downswing, and this is the only info I've found that explains it! Thsnks

[@risefm001]

Thank you, Respawn Sports! Loving these guides. So very helpful.

[@aarontedford674]

Channel is growing bro!! Congrats on all the hard work you do.

[@petermollon8623]

OMFG!! Everything medium to short is going in! Best putting tip ever!! Thank you Respawn - I'm forever in your debt!!

[@HyredGunnz]

Dude, I'm so glad I came across this video. So well done. Easy to follow and was actually very beneficial for my game. I appreciate it!!

[@gamernorcal]

Just got this and your video was very helpful. I started w/ the flick and it was a good intro but the SLOWEST method gets the best results for me!

[@dndsmith1ify]

Exactly what I was looking for. I've been holding the stick forward and getting slows. Will experiment with this tomorrow.

[@tykjenffs]

Nice video! I am new to swing mechanics and am ALWAYS slow on the second swing. No matter how hard I try I can not do fast or perfect. But because its Golf I can adapt to this. I add about an extra 5-10 yards of distance, depending on club and situation. I have scored 3 Albatrosses so far and got my first Ace a few days ago. Feels good to not HAVE to be good. I will always be slow, but I will always be close ^

[@gamercalledbluefifa]

Congrats on the EA sponsorship , well deserved. Keep up the great work

[@BGibsonVideos]

Thank you so much!!! I wish EA would have had a tutorial for all this but oh well. Glad you are here sir!

[@toonbarmy4201]

Cheers m8...Made a heck of a difference...Now i just need to get to grips with the distance the ball travels past the shot marker. Not played for some years and i seem to remember the marker being the total distance...But its all fun :)

[@paulelliott3056]

Great video, thanks. I was wondering why my tempo was so slow! Learnt a lot from this

[@petere8129]

Very helpful, lost may way with the swing on EA PGA, and after the tutorial birdied 7 of the 9 holes I played, thanks!

[@timothyliberatore3730]

Thank you so much for this. I had no idea I had to bring the stick back to center. I kept holding it forward.

[@jimmiehissong]

Great vid as always my man!

[@amem1966]

this is the video I have been waiting for. Thank you!

[@billdungan3709]

Oh this is the video I’ve been needing! Thank you so much!

[@Cheezyb3an]

Glad EA came to you to do this, you deserve it with the videos you make 👍🏻

[@marchmadness76]

Thank you for explaining this!

[@soccerboots108]

Phenomenal information. The more content I watch and more I play the more happy I am with the purchase

[@jasonmoore1109]

This video is a god send! I had no idea why I was getting slow swings all the time. Maybe I missed it in the initial tutorial or something lol

[@iscariot666]

Great video and kudos to EA reaching out to us through you.

[@Suspect333]

Thank god been waiting for this man.

[@shanepaulk5121]

Awesome video! Much appreciated.

[@TheApexHound]

Brilliant video man

[@MoreRespawn]

Thanks man!

[@richardparsons9573]

Thanks for your tips, they really helped, as they did in your 2k golf game, nice 1 😊

[@carllaw5268]

Excellent work mate!

[@scotlandinvestor7779]

Another great vid mate 👍🏼

[@raithrover1976]

I've recently upped my difficulty level from tour to simulation and it seems like a bad tempo is far more likely to send the ball into the long grass. This video is just what i needed.

[@marctrepanier3310]

Thk's for the tips, vid is awesome.

[@ryanlaune5599]

Hey Respawn, have you ever used the rule of 12 for chipping? it has really made that shot more useful for me. the rule is to take the total distance to the cup, divide by the distance you are aiming the shot. then subtract that number from 12. the result is the club you should use. for example, cup is 15 yards away, my marker is set at 5 yards, the result would be a 9 iron. 15/5 and then 12-3. This works really well for chips that are fairly level. for up or downhill change to rule of 11 for uphill and rule of 13 for downhill. you also may have to go down if the greens are really fast for that particular course.

[@tictac4949]

Wow I’m gonna have to try this thanks

[@JimmysGarden]

Thank you for this and I now it will help me for sure. 👍👍

[@danielpan5147]

Right on point nice job... :)

[@douglasweston126]

Hi Zane - very good thanks heaps. I just cant get perfects at all, always to fast, but I'll try your tips and see what happens. Cheers Doug

[@jamesmcdonald6047]

I use the slow swing tempo, with 2 fingers to rock backwards and then forwards. Works well for me, usually a 2.8-3.0 slow on takeaway,+ 2.5 downswing nets around a 100%!!! I also use KontrolFreek Call of Duty Modern Warfare Performance Thumbsticks for PS5. They have six sides vs round buttons that will help lock in a perfect swing plane!!! Has improved my game immensely😀 Now trying some True Sim, thats a game changer there😮

[@kevinoconnell2269]

Thanks for this, was struggling with tempo

[@stevemoody13]

Very helpful. Thanks.

[@tictac4949]

This is interesting, I’m gonna have to try the return to center move. It’s wierd though I’ve gotten perfects where I’m holding the stick at the top.

[@punkkerdude1]

Thanks for the info dude

[@MarkDavidBlack]

Holy crap! Thank you so much!

[@kory_dale]

Thanks for the video! I’ve been wondering why I keep hitting 3-4% slows on almost every shot lol.

[@user-yu5pf7zg5l]

Great tutorials that help us mere mortals. Thanks for the tips!

[@paolodea666]

I'm using the flick method (fastest swing) for all of the shots except for the putting, for which I get more straight shots with the "normal" method. Moreover I noticed that the draw/fade "angled path" in Simulation difficulty with the flick method is impossible (at least for me), since the joypad lever naturally follows the orthogonals

[@user-gb7us]

Thanks for this video and thanks to EA for supporting the best in the business.

[@stewartsamson835]

Ill try the two finger method. I’m finding using thumb when I swing forward it usually veers off to the right as oppose to going straight up

[@COYG316]

Nice video!

[@paulkuch420]

Putting speed is where u end up leaving the aim arrow. If u notice the further past the hole the arrow is, the line for the putt tempo goes back further. Now obviously you don't wanna do the follow thru at warp speeds, and I don't think holding it forward does anything, but I haven't tried that yet.

[@CBDubz]

Fantastic stuff. Do you think you could explain the red triangle grid when putting?

[@AtTheHandle]

Thank you for covering everything good sir

[@bradster990]

After playing rory McIlroy for years its going to be hard to get used to not holding the stick after a shot, but thank you so much for the info, i was getting ready to give up on this game as getting slow all the time was killing my enjoyment for it

[@time2shinex707]

The swing mechanics are very good,i learned how to swing straight after a week.Another factor with the swing is swing speed .This not easy to teach,practice makes perfect.

[@jjobrien5848]

Congratulations 🎊 about time great channel JJ London uk ❤

[@chadreed8032]

Thank you, thank you 🙏

[@KillrobPlays]

How such a well-funded developer includes tons of well-made fluff for the game but then proceeds to not include even the simplest of tutorials for the very core of the game is beyond me as a developer myself. Thank you so much for making this, I would never have figured that one out - I held the stick at the top after the forward motion, which indeed works great for putting! I thought that's my controller causing this and putting is just slower so my swing was more adequate. xD Next time EA can get like 10-15% higher ratings by spending a single day making a one-screen tutorial for the swing mechanics in game :D hope you got a nice little check for making the video for them. Cheers!

[@craigpinn2729]

Never seen the two finger method! Will have to try this!

[@jaysanders1794]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

[@Gumbel69]

thank you for explaining the mechanics

[@charlie.drowned]

THANK YOU

[@Seamount4Life]

Absolutely fantastic tutorial. Super informative and explains a lot of questions I had every time I got inconsistent Tempo in the game. Appreciate the video!

[@edogaktop]

Will overswing/bad tempo also affect the shot dispersion, or does it only depend on our R stick path and the stats of the golfers?

[@sportsfan120577]

Had to add. Cant wait to try this out I suck at PGA

[@SLeaves]

Curious - have you had a big hit moment using the analog stick (slow motion swing)? I’m using the stick on the “tour” gameplay mode and I believe I accidentally got one but can’t get another one at all. No problem getting them with the three click method, though.

[@maddogtungate6740]

Great video. I could never use the 2 finger methed on a controller. Great tips.

[@thomashornak2139]

Great video. I just wish ea would fix the vibration issue on xbox there is no vibration when we swing back or during the heartbeat moments. 🤦‍♂️

[@simonk9561]

Yep no vibration on Xbox since launch very annoying, doesn’t matter that the console setting is on there is no controller vibe why the heck is that?

[@SwitchedOn]

I've tried both - but found that holding method gives me accuracy and the "slow" doesnt feel like it affects me negatively enough to be worth trying the release method. Would rather have the accuracy.

[@tomservo75]

Thanks! I still don't really understand what over/under swing is. I think I understand fast/slow if it's the same as in 2K, but how does that notch on the swing meter work? Is that just ideal power? How do you control over and under swing? Does it have to do with the notch on the swing meter?

[@cameronyoung9076]

I notice you have a indicator at the top of the white swing meter bar that let's you see you reached the top of your swing power how did you apply that cause I don't have it on mine and it would also be very helpful.

[@live4theleafs11]

I dont have the black tick mark on my swing graphic. Anybody know why? Thx for the help. Great video and examples!

[@freshtendrills5969]

I appreciate the face options for this game. It's so great that every Martian and circus freak is represented. Nice job.

[@chronichols2551]

Right,the customization is shit. So generic

[@harfast10]

That's for the gender neutral options.

[@stanleyderochea6505]

This video is full of good info. My biggest issue is that controllers are not designed well and its practically impossible to pull the stick back and forward straight. Even yourself is using your thumb and finger while holding your controller with 1 hand. My other issue is there is still no proper online in this game. I need clubhouses to join and play against other clubhouses. I think EA really dropped the ball with this game. 2023, and they completely leave online out of a game that had online 10 years ago when they actually made good golf games

[@tommorgan7431]

Flick works great for me on fastest. The inconsistency of left or right is maddening. I'll swing "the same" and the ball goes left or right completely randomly. Its making challenges like making two chips or a flop all but impossible.

[@PremIndi]

Great vid. I still prefer fastest with the flick, but there's a real knack to it in this game. I find if I grip the handle really tight with my three fingers it puts my thumb on a perfect line that rarely misses. It's pretty well locked in now. Thanks SO much for shining some light on the fade/draw mechanics. I'd just stopped using it because it was ridiculous and you miss so many birdie opps especially at places like Bay Hill. As a general comment the instructions and EA's general information is garbage for this game. I wanted to turn on Mulligans - I don't use them except if my controller goes flat during a shot and it's handy if it does. I've turned it on but I'll be damned if I can find the button. Even their instruction manual says you can trigger a Mulligan by pressing 'a button'. Cheers for that. I went onto their live chat and the guy tried to tell me you press the X button, which is literally the button that skips you to the next screen and voids the opportunity to use Mulligan. I just gave up. Cheers again man!

[@m1kbh0y]

so thats why my shots always go right, thanks for the info.

[@HiCaballo]

While I appreciate importance of the downswing especially in a golf game, but maybe I’m used to 2k as I prefer to hold the stick to make sure I follow through. Sort of how I would in a real life swing. It doesn’t matter if I bring the club back to the tee after I hit it.

[@LucasKirbyMusic]

How do you get the power marker on the swing meter?

[@michaelstig]

Did the update fix the holes being smaller than they visually are ?

[@KID_CHAMELEON]

Can you turn off the tempo swing all together as you can in 2k23 or is it always enabled in this game?

[@BSKTCreation]

Has mouse swing been added yet?

[@Bloodrayne800]

How do you get that black marker on the swing meter?

[@MCWheelz]

How do you add power off tee like we used to be able to in pga there has to be a way

[@Tim1412198933]

Seems like you've got a lot more points in power than I do! I'm about the same level as you but nowhere near the distance as you have, I just put 4 points in. Care to show us your current point distribution? I wonder what you've kind of not put any points in.

[@MrStrictlyOLED]

Please tell me I can use the buttons to swing as an option also in order for me to play this game

[@MrStrictlyOLED]

Can you use the button instead to swing ? I hate using the sticks

[@thedayhayfilms]

So I my controller supposed to vibrate when doing simulation putting? Cuz it hasn’t done it once

[@stephenfortin9485]

So wait, you want to release your down swing as soon as ball and clubface make contact? Don't hold?

[@Kirbyfied]

How do people get the swing arc to light up on this game, see it all the time on twitch???

[@nobody-dp5jp]

I have a hard time in the challenge mode it says hit 5 long drives 100% but can't get it to register the drive go over swing but doesn't work? Any help?

[@iwound]

Why does putting have a swing plane? I'm tired of the ball just shooting off in a different direction than i aimed. Is it simulating it slipping in my hand. This game makes no sense. I cant get any consistency with the stick. I got a perfect by holding at the top but then never again. Also tour tourny seems to have a different tempo. I have no vibration working in the game on xbox. Cant see in game setting for it. btw thanks for the fade swing plain explanation but i dont see a normal shot swing plain explanation. Why are my shots going off right or left?

[@incmplteGORILLA]

Hey Respawn, is there a setting within the game for you to make the controller vibrate? I'm on Xbox, and mine doesn't vibrate. Thanks, keep up the great content! 👍🏼

[@MoreRespawn]

I've been hearing this from a few people now. There isn't a setting in game, maybe something in controller settings on your xbox? I'm not sure.

[@incmplteGORILLA]

@@MoreRespawn I have the standard Xbox controller as well as a scuff controller. Kinda strange.

[@MrCoyote99]

My approach from 200'sh yards is horrible hope this helps

[@kennethcooper3317]

where do I get the distance markers on the swing

[@jacobhall4714]

Mine doesn’t have the little mark on your swing where to stop your back swing. Is it a glitch?

[@anthonynotte5901]

I got this game from game fly few days ago. Haven’t tried it yet because I’ve read online that there is supposed to be a update/balanced patch where you can change the swing mechanics for swinging the club to a three click swing meter using the radia buttons on the controller. Is that still happening or no? Swinging the club using the analog sticks is difficult for me because I’m used to the three point swing meter.

[@MoreRespawn]

3-Click is already in the game. You can change to it in the settings.

[@anthonynotte5901]

@@MoreRespawn thanks. 👍

[@pastuh]

My controller is connected to PC, and vibration non-exist because Steam not implemented that controller.. So I just use deadzones. Not my fault, so I use such settings.

[@nobody-dp5jp]

Here's something I realize today goes along with tips and tricks if you create a new golfer by clicking on the bottom-right tab you start from scratch what's your name your golfer and create them if you go to your clubs. You get all the VC that you have in your other character plus all of the attributes you've bought in for the clubs legendary and such. Check it out.. Your new creative character starts off amazing because they get all the specs

[@tomservo75]

I will say this for EA, the swing tempo is much more reasonable than 2k23. Seems there it's either perfect timing or your ball ends up OB, there's no in between. There's just slow and very slow. EA gives it as a percentage to the decimal and as long as I'm slow or fast within 2% it's more or less okay whereas 2k23 the slightest timing mistake sends the ball spinning out of bounds or a 50 yard drive.
