Here’s my newest video, which is a match between Soonersguy06 and myself. He put out a challenge to play me on the EA Forums, and I was happy to oblige. I let him pick the settings, and he picked some doozies! I’m not used to playing in the rain with gale force winds, and so it was definitely a challenge! It was a good game, and I enjoyed it. Soonersguy06 played well, and I want to say thanks to him for allowing me to post the video. This is also my first video with real-time commentary, so you’ll have to let me know what you think about that as well. Enjoy! Continue Reading »

This is an excellent article written by TheJokker on the advantages of club tuning and how to actually do it right. He originally posted it on the EA Forums. You can find the original post by clicking here. Club tuning will add valuable distance and control to your shots, and will reduce your hooks and slices when using the MotionPlus attachment. It’s well worth the effort, and I highly suggest using TheJokker’s guidelines for club tuning.
Tuning your clubs is very important to improve the quality of your game. After reading what little the TW10 book mentioned about club tuning, I was originally nervous to adjust these settings. There is no need to fear adjusting these settings when you understand what they do and how adjustments will affect your shot. Everyone will most likely tune they’re clubs a little differently than other players. When you tune your clubs you are fine tuning all the clubs in your bag to how you want them to perform. Tuning your clubs will add power, loft (height), spin, workability and adjust your draw or fade. Those are the 5 simple aspects of tuning your clubs, it is NOT rocket science. Continue Reading »

In my last post on creating custom courses, I talked about a few par 3′s that constantly give me trouble. These holes were Pebble Beach #12, Pebble Beach #17, and Doral #15. There are certainly other par 3′s within the game that are just as difficult, if not worse, but these three holes have some features that are in common. All three feature a green that is very shallow, but also very wide. This isn’t the worst thing if you’re playing from a close tee and with average or slow greens or easy pin placement. But when playing from black tees with expert pin placement and fast greens, you might as well write down a 3 on your scorecard before you even tee off. But before we give up all hope, let’s take a look at some ways we can maximize our chances of landing close to the pin on the first shot. Continue Reading »

Attempting to use manual draw and fade can be a frustrating experience, especially when you are used to the ease of simply dragging your target circle around in the standard swing mode. While using manual draw and fade can add a new challenge to your game, the system itself can be a bit finicky and it takes some effort to get used to. In this short article, I just want to outline some simple steps for players to follow to, at the very least, get their manual draw and fade working. Continue Reading »
