Impossible

[whattashot]

This is impossible with the clubs we have in this game. I would like to see a film, showing the swing meter, of someone hitting every green on this set up. Undulating greens, sideways greens, pins ten feet from the fringe, hitting off concrete, over trees, hitting through archways where you cannot see the green from any angle or on the overhead, or use the C key or F3. hard/"normal".

Really

Trevjor scored just shy of the score set by Tbone in Round 2 ...

tourney_ctp9_scorecard.php?id=43

As requested...hard normal 11 breezy.....note i dont go for flag on every hole, aim for area with more green...and i only had 1 shot not 2 like in skilz...and had 8 foot gimmies auto set for quickness.....calibre ball.....sorry about the video quality my first attempt...........enjoy

NIB NOB, I've watched the video several times. Some observations:

You only missed ONE snap in 18 holes, actually 3, but I suspect 2 of them were on purpose. Nice.

I guess you met the requirements of my challenge, but it would have been nice to see you set up the shot; such as how you aimed, how you measured the slope of the green, etc. Do you use the F2 or F3 to look at the green? How do you aim when you can't see a landing area from the spot of the shot? Those would have been nice to see. I saw you use the binoculars a couple of times, but there were many other places you either didn't or edited it out.

I also never got to see the settings. I assume you were on normal/hard, but I don't know for sure. On three separate occasions you got backspin on hard greens.

You only took one shot per hole. I assume you know (perhaps not, since you are never in the rough) that the power loss changes on each shot. Your largest power loss in the 18 holes was 10% once, and 9% once. I don't know what they would have been for the second shot. You had 9 holes with ZERO power loss on the first and only shot. For the 18 your average power loss after the 10 and 9, was 5%. (didn't include the zeros) For the record, I regularly am hitting a second shot with 5-10% more power loss on the second shot, so whatever I learned on the first shot is useless.

You also were not subjected to the loss of swing type on the second shot. For example, many time in SKILZ, the player has a shot from the sand, and all swing types are available, FULL, PITCH, CHIP, SPLASH, on the first shot. Of course you will take the FULL shot, or PITCH shot for anything you can reach because you are not subjected the FAT/THIN as you would be using a SPLASH shot. I know, you don't really need a second shot, but us old people do, and what happens is that we get the SPLASH only.

Your only real snap miss was on hole 7, from the sand at 84 yards. I saw you put the blue dot up to the top of the second ring, and move it 1/2 of the way to the left. The wind was from the right. You missed the snap (barely, but the bottom of the arrow was to left. The result was that you were 13 feet from the hole. If I miss a snap, even the tiniest little bit that you did, I am a MINIMUM of 30 feet from the hole. That is a hard and fast rule, and it is even worse when hitting the full meter, which you did.

Thanks for making the effort to show me how its done...sorta. I appreciate it.

NIBNOB uses the Calibre ball - not as much penalty on missed snap

[Stozza]

I thought i was the only 1 that plays that quick . Well done on the video the graphics were good this end.

[NIBNOB]

I set hard normal 11..so normal greens in this video....

i use F2 alot and F3 sometimes...but mainly for aiming i use the pin finder(icon on the right that drags to pin to you)and the mini map/fairway markers

I had already played that skilz round so couldnt use that for video....had to make do with solo round...

I tend to use full shot option on most close in shots anyway(as snap misses dont effect power loss) so not having flop,chip,pitch is wasted on me...

hole 7 was power loss into wind and uphill 81 yards so decided to go up a club to 91yarder play high/left to shorten distance overswing to max for backspin little early on snap to pull left as green sloped right.....i make these decisions very quickly and sometimes its hard to explain but when you played a game for almost 10 years it becomes second nature....i wacth other players on discord usually during the KO touney and im fascinated on how they setup shots...some the same but some quite different...you should try it....

Bucks right about the calibre ball.....the odd snap miss is why i changed from avant, as it can kill your round...

ill try to introduce some narration on the next video....

NIBNOB uses the Calibre ball - not as much penalty on missed snap

Took this advice sometime ago and changed to Calibre - much better

[bbbuckshot1]

I tried the Calibre ball for about a month but had no improvement in score (not as accomplished a player as NIBNOB) and missed the ability to get to some par 5s in 2 shots as I could with the Avant, so I went back to Avant and continue to dig myself out of the trees/water/rough on missed snaps of which I have plenty - just learned to live with shitty scores LOL

How can you play 18 holes and only miss the snap three times at most?

I'm lucky if I hit the snap three times per round.
