Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
I burst out laughing when I read that and I'm still laughing.Thanks, dave. I've since lowered my driver's sweetspot to 14%. I started my career with it at 20%, and was hitting close to 80% FIR. So I reloaded my profile, and I'm going to start again after I test this out a bit more.

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
Excellent point about being careful to not have disparity between woods/irons/wedges on power/distance. You don't want to put yourself in the postion to do a lot of 'Tiger Math' from the fairways if you don't have to...and if a big disparity exists, no club will be close to doing the job correctly in some approach situations.
Then you have to grab a club that's WAY too long for the green, do 10,000 practice swings to get the right 'power',and swing! Then watch helplessly as you short it into a bunker or the ball sails over the green....
GO 'HAWKS!

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
I'm a bit surprised that the OP has a bigger sweetspot for the driver than for woods. Surely that gives you more confidence using the driver than the woods, when I'd have thought it should be the other way round. Irons' sweetspot seems a bit high to me and no sweetspot for wedges looks odd since I have found that wedges can go offline if not hit properly. So far I've only unlocked advanced clubs but have been getting realistic scores with the following sweetspots: driver 18%, woods 21%, irons 24%, wedges 25%. Currently in career mode at Tour Pro difficulty I have an FIR of about 74% (and going down!) and a GIR of 60% (going slightly up).Comment

Anyway, as I said in my post, just my opinion and my settings.Comment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
That's the difference. I just played a few holes with my advanced irons, and they're much more accurate than my expert irons.
I have the sweetspot on my expert irons set at 39% right now, and I can't keep my shots straight. I switched to my advanced irons, 39% sweetspot, and every shot was dead straight. I had to lower the sweetspot on my advanced irons down to around 15% to get them to play the same as my expert irons with a 39% sweetspot.Comment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
so based on these discussions i unlocked advanced clubs. I dont want to spend 720 points to buy expert clubs just yet.
So i put all my clubs at 60% power and 85% workability. This gave me a sweet spot of 35% across the board. I originally went with 25% sweet spot, but i sucked so bad that i bumped it to 35%
anyways, my results have been a success for me. I did my 4th play the pros tourney and after winning the previous 3, i managed a -4 for the 4 rounds. My scores went
+1 / E / -2 / -3
I also played 2 rounds of the doral. Round 1 a shot a Even par. but then last night i shot a -9 in round 2.......i guess i was due for a good round. The round was no wind so i think that helped, and the pin placement was such that putting was no issue (obviously). Plus i hit 2 birdies from the rough and hit an eagle from about 70 yards out. This is the first round that i played where it felt like the old TW games with the arcady birdies.
If this trend continues, i can still lower my sweet spot on my clubs, then goto expert if needed.Comment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
And that's what counts, of course. For the record, when I posted my original comments, I only meant to share what I was seeing when tuning and testing clubs. I actually tune my clubs to match my own playing abilities. I limited my power to 240 yard drives, my accuracy is awful and I have a natural and extreme fade with each club -- which is how I shoot in real life. Love that we can do that, BTW. The club tuner is a great feature.Comment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
Yes. I think my power attribute is around 8 right now, which is too high for me. I hit 260-270 drives on average. So I cap my power at 6 so that I'm averaging 20-30 yards shorter with all my clubs. Not sure I'd do that in Career mode though, seeing a number of fairways require a 250-260 yard drive off the black teesComment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
i got screwed up in my tuning and left those gaps in distance that baa mentioned. another thing i noticed is the more loft you have will make windy conditions that much more challenging.
i also like the idea of creating a guy that plays like i do. Although i dont think the game would allow me to make a guy that badComment

Re: Baa7's club tuning will change the game for you
It's to increase the difficulty, yes. Much tougher to birdie par 5's in particular given it usually takes three shots to get to the green when you're not hitting 300 yard drives and 250 yard 3 wood shots. I'm really just fooling around and practicing on the various courses, playing rounds with a golfer that mimics my own playing abilities in both accuracy and power. But if I seriously tried to win in Career mode, I wouldn't come close to winning any tournaments. I'll no doubt have to boost my power and even raise the sweetspots on my clubs given I don't usually come close to breaking par with these settings.Comment

I'd say 285 is about the PGA average.
Here's a list: http://www.usatoday.com/sports/golf/...g-distance.htm
I may move my driving distance to that, since all I ever play is black tees anyway.Comment
