PGA Tour 2k23 | STOP WASTING Fittings & Skill Points

[@banbrotam]

The best advice, ever for any game I've played. You've explained the skills so well, that it's actually obvious that we should concentrate on the putter etc first. Fantastic vids!!!

[@christopherwalker4256]

This is great. They made this game really confusing with all this though. Keep it simple

[@Charlie-v5c]

super appreciative of your guidance breaking this all down! I was completely off on my understanding of skill points as well as fittings. I didn't even know I could upgrade my fittings, which gave me a significant boost! I've already sent this video around to my friends who play and told them to like and subscribe!

[@Unc_Shine]

Why is the exchange prompt not there for me

[@BrockMak]

8:25 As a powerhouse, I actually should had invested more on my wedges and irons. I currently get away with using chip shots to avoid long putts and putt penalties. I once beat Tiger Woods at TPC Sawgrass by out chipping him on long putts even though I don't have enough fittings to add more power on my irons.

[@davejohn255]

I sold a ton of the lower level ones up to blue to have enough money to upgrade the purples (Epic's) This was at Level 28 and on the last tier of skills. All legendary on my putter. At least 2 legendary on everything else except hybrid which I don't use. My skills all went into putting and driver...Love being able to drive over 350 with an average of 340.

[@tatereno]

Your upgrading is different than mine. It doesn’t go up a color. Stays the same but it allows a custom pick.

[@brucestack1658]

Upgrade versus exchange.

[@brucestack1658]

@Timoxi80 yes, there is...when you go to fittings you have the option between upgrade and exchange. Same menu but I couldnt tell you what the PC key binding for it is. It is the best way to get red/orange fittings and once you get to that point you use the exchange to get the type of red/orange you want

[@ShooterinOK]

I realize this video is 9 months old but have they patched or something? I'm fairly new but I trued exchanging some fittings and they did NOT upgrade. They simply gave me 1 of the same color but I got to pick the largest stat. This went for grays and greens, I have not tried other colors yet.

[@rickinwast]

As you stated, fittings is the one part of the game I do not understand. There's a "100" fitting limit, but when you are performing exchanges, or upgrades, your number is decreasing? Until now, I'm shotting in the dark and find myself at 97/100. You encourage upgrades vs exchanges? ~ Thanks ~

[@davidbanner1020]

interesting video. thanks for uploading. can you explain why transition is so important on a driver though?

[@Ma_Kachada]

Transition increase you white bar and light grey sections. A lot easier to hit perfects or slight early/fast. This allows you to be more consistent with your yardages.

[@davidbanner1020]

@@Ma_Kachada wow. Damn I'm so confused lol. I thought that was purely down to timing and swing path.

[@Ma_Kachada]

@@davidbanner1020 swing path= start line of shot Timing= how much your ball will hook or slice based on fast/slow Transition= increase in perfect ability and bigger slightly fast/slow windows

[@davidbanner1020]

@@Ma_Kachada amazing. Thanks man.

[@alcazaba]

@@davidbanner1020 yeah you’re right. This video is wrong. Transition = %power - backswing shot power forgiveness - the white and grey on your circle arc shot meter Timing = hook/slice - downswing fast/slow forgiveness - the horizontal white and grey bars Swing Path = push/pull - how straight your shot is - the vertical white and grey bars This is for analogue swing method. But same applies for 3 click. The transition will affect the first click (holding) forgiveness, the swing path affects the second click forgiveness (top) and the timing affects the third click forgiveness (bottom)

[@jamespaduano1695]

Can you only getting fittings in career mode or are there other modes to earn?

[@johnhill5329]

trying to understand the numbers given to skills. As an example my Driver head is a red power +8. Would it be an advantage to upgrade when possible to a red power head with a +12. What would be the advantage and would this apply to all skills.

[@TristanPetricca]

I'm lvl 50 and should have watched this a LONG time ago. I deleted so many fittings just to make room when I should have been exchanging them lol. I think it was only 30-40 so not terrible but I'm glad I know now!!!

[@azbdizzy4176]

Do fittings stack or it is sum?

[@creamabdul-jabbar6722]

I wish I could do a redo lol. I have spent so much on cosmetics already. I wish they’d give 4 outfits to begin the game. Like pick an affiliation and get 4 shirts 4 pants. Like say I pick cobra get 4 cobra shirts hats and pants even if it’s plain

[@Ma_Kachada]

Im sure they will begin that movement and copy those ideas from their NBA game. I just don't know if they want to fully invest that much money in a game that doesn't make as much as NBA.

[@whocarsdo]

What is the fit fee?

[@takeab]

I exchange low level fitting to higher and then go play a round, when come back every is the same before i exchange it. Bug or glitch may be 😅

[@artemerton5852]

What's the best method to get high-end fittings can you get them just playing rounds or should you continue to play the tour over and over again for the best fittings

[@Ma_Kachada]

I tested out multiple different methods, but it does appear to be random. Upgrading is your best bet

[@jmhgames82]

Bro great video wish this would have been a much earlier one. I need help I can't get the swing down in this game and I am spending and wasting vc and skill points. My irons and wedges are trash and those were my stronger points in last year's game. Idk how to build my guy I am terrible at this kinda stuff.

[@Ma_Kachada]

I would check out my build video I put up today and try to mimic that. Is your issue related to not straight meters or is it a timing thing?

[@jmhgames82]

@@Ma_Kachada it's a little of both. I tend to have a small push to the right at the top of my swing other then that my back and forth is usually good (at least on my drives and fairway shots my putts are all over the place for some reason regardless of controller)but I am struggling with timing this year. I don't know if you've mentioned it in any of your videos or I've seen it in somebody else's videos but I know or it feels to me at least like the swing has to be slower more consistent swing this year and I'm just not doing it. But I will definitely check out that video

[@Ma_Kachada]

@JMHollabaugh Gaming check out this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/fYK6h6JrmaZpeLM This year the backswing is longer and you need a slight pause at the top. For swing meter issues check out this video and see if anything hits. kzbin.info/www/bejne/n2q0ZYatg8ifq6M

[@John-ic6zo]

Thanks MK, are hybrids necessary? If I can do without them I can spend the points and fittings elsewhere.

[@Ma_Kachada]

If you can get everything you want out 5 wood or 3 iron instead then no need to carry a hybrid.

[@Jukeboxster]

I don't see the advantage of hybrids in this game. With two legendary iron fittings my 3 iron is up to 239 yards and you have the better lie range anyway in the rough. I've taken hybrids completely out of my bag and put no skills or fittings on them, so definitely can do without them.

[@Ma_Kachada]

I think irons and woods - driver and wedges get timing cause that helps so much for the down swing. Putter I feel would be last in skills cause if you can read the putts you are fine. But let the people pick what they feel is best for them cause they might be lot better then you tbh.

Question: My fiance likes to play as a local guest and it seems the only way to allow her to have similar upgraded clubs is to "fit" them for the guest player as well.. which means I have to pay double (or triple if my brother plays as a 3rd guest too) for the same fittings I've already paid for with my main character. You know of a way around this? Where she can use my fitted clubs.? Seems like a money grab unless they just play with the standard non-fitted clubs

I wonder how we get VC besides buying with money when we reach level 50? I guess just from beating rivals, etc I guess, no 250 for going up a level. I already played too much for me, and I'm only on like level 22 but still wondering. Jus ta tip, online Top Golf isn't a bad way of earning some VC quickly if you can beat the other players. You can earn between 350-500 for getting first place, even coming in 2nd you can earn a decent amount for just a few minutes of fun target hitting.

You do still get 250 per level after 50 you still get the level bar and the VC but it will still show as 50
