Swing Meter

[melsrange2003]

Hi golfers, just joined perfect golf a month ago and have been playing with friends who have over 10 years experience playing perfect golf!
I'm having a problem stopping my swing meter at the 6 o'clock position, I'm either early or late causing my shots to go too left or too right, not sure if my swing meter is faster then my competitors, they do occasionally miss the 6 but not very often! my question is there a way to slow the swing meter at all? any help would be appreciated, TY!

Officially no there isn't a way of slowing down the Swing Meter, although if you talk to some players they may tell you other players are using software to slow it down.

Whether that's true or not I couldn't tell you as I've never seen one in action.

change status from pro to Amateur and play on your own for a while to become a little more errr 'efficient' :-)

use the calibre ball....its more forgiving with snap misses

I have tried everything, playing as amatuer, having trouble at the bottom of my swing stopping at the 6 o'clock position missing at by 1/16 of an inch will make my ball miss fairways and greens, the fellows I play with don't miss the 6 very often, this frustrating and I believe my meter is faster then theirs, anybody no what may cause this?

If you're playing at Amateur and are still having trouble hitting fairways, you could drop your playing level further to Hacker, which is for practical purposes the easiest playing level (there is one lower level, Beginner, but it's really meant just for learning the controls and has a different almost cheat-level putting interface).

When you swing, have you (or the friends you play with) been going all the way to the back on the top swing? If so, try keeping the top of your swings near the 12:00 position. You'll find it both easier to hit the snap at 6:00 and more forgiving if you miss it. Any loss of distance will be more than made up for by having easier next shots from the fairway more often.

(Amusing anecdote: When I first acquired Links Pro in 1994, I played my entire first 18-hole round without realizing I was supposed to aim my shots, using whatever was the default aim on every shot. Hey, it was a new game and I was still figuring out the controls.)
