I don't have the game yet but I saw a similar post on Reddit or in Steam discussions regarding True Shot. I'll summarize until I can find you the link with the quote from one of the devs:

Hey folks, you must complete the True Shot prompts as they are displayed on the screen, while holding the True Shot button.
- HOLD the True Shot Button (L1/LB/L-Shift) and keep holding it to stay in True Shot Mode.
- Apply Draw/Fade to your shot by moving the LS/Mouse left and right. (while holding True Shot)
- Adjust your Attack Angle by moving RS/Mouse Up and down. (while holding True Shot)
- Press the Reset Shot Button (R1/RB/Tilde (`))

These input prompts intentionally appear to show you how to use the True Shot feature. Once you complete the prompt sequence it is dismissed forever. The sequence is as I laid it out above. HOLD the True Shot button... and Keep HOLDing it while completing the thumbstick movement requirements. You can release the True Shot button when you reach the Reset Shot prompt.

Alternatively - you can go into Profile Menu > Settings > Display & Hud > In-Game Help and set that to OFF to disable them completely.

I think I figured out the swing tempo. Don't "flick" the stick up, you have to push it forward and hold it. Hold it forward until it gives you the timing message. Since I have been doing this, I get perfect pretty regularly.

This game is awesome. I love having a challenging, but manageable golf game. Everytime there is an error, i know what i did. Great shots feel that much more rewarding.

Sorry if this has been mentioned, but not being able to save online presets is a huge miss!

When I set up a round online with friends (Private Match), every single time I have to change all of the settings. Conditions should have an option for Random and Difficulty settings should be able to be saved and loaded. I normally don’t like to complain much, but this is really a lot of work every time we play. I do a number generator for the random conditions (wind, weather, etc) and still have to set up all of the settings (20 options).

Game plays great and really enjoying it, but not sure how this could’ve passed QA!

Playing on the Switch and loving it so far. A couple things:
- no crowds
- playing with a pro controller on the TV is a bit easier than handheld to keep the swing line
- that said, PORTABLE GOLF!

I appreciate the lack of micro-transactions. Id like to see a ratings system in the future, like if i want to smack the ball like Bryson or if i want a short game like Reed, i want to be able to build my player my way.

Game is both fun and challenging. Swing calibrator has helped me quite a bit, but I'm still getting my timing down on swings to stop shanking shots.

Putting took a bit of time to get used to, but now, I'm putting with consistency and a feeling of having an idea of where's its going instead of just putting and hoping for the best..

Maybe a rhetorical question, but what does the swing calibrator do exactly? If you tend to come back right and follow through left it calibrates that as straight?

How do I play as one of the pro golfers in a play now mode, are none of the pros playable because that would be a joke
