You might hit it with perfect tempo/swing, but if the hole/aiming point is 4 inches below the ball and you don't adjust your distance on screen, you're still coming in too hot with the ball and it's going to skip the cup. Much like it would if you hit the ball too hard right at the hole IRL.

    So, if it's several inches below, you know the ball is going to roll faster, so aim shorter. If it's 5 inches above, aim longer so you're giving it more power. If your skipping it over the cup, or burning the edge and it's not dropping, you've hit it too hard (regardless of what the tempo/swing meter says). Much the same if you're leaving it short with a perfect swing. You didn't "aim long enough"... err... hit it hard enough.

    Just a thought.

      We know about the adjustment that has to be made when putting up hill or down hill. The problem is the games programming doesn't seem to be the same as previous years.
      That is because it was built from the ground up from scratch. I have hade 2 or 3 putts roll through the cup, but I felt like I over powered the putt. Putting takes a lot more finess and touch in RM than previous Tiger versions...

        Obviously opinions vary. It's a subjective and personal thing and isn't it great to have choices in how you play the game?

          Entering the final round of The Players a few shots behind Rory really enjoying the challenge. My biggest thing is making sure I give it a full backswing. By trying to flick the stick up as fast I can for a full follow through I am usually short on my back swing. I tried to go all the way back this last round and had a few shanks into the woods. Had to punch out and scramble for par or bogey.

          I play pretty fast I'm not sitting there lining up shots for over a minute giving it scientific calculations lol so far so good for me I'm in love with the game as a whole. Obviously there are the lacking features but give it a chance I'm sure there will be some patches and DLC to give it some new life later on. I won't be taking this game out of my PS4 for a while but I'm a golf junkie so to each is own I guess.

          Just set up my twitch account on my playstation so feel free to add me guys.

            3 click brings me back to the old jack Nicklaus games on Pc as a kid. Loved those games. Has a nostalgia feeling to it.

However, i think they may have overdone it a touch if that is what they were aiming to do.
                In previous TW games you just hit the put very hard from a few yards and it rammed straight in. It seems that finally this has been changed to make the game less easy and a bit more realistic. I'll be playing this in a few hours so then I truly judge, but it seems that many just expect to,shoot 55 every round without even thinking about it. Just like in FIFA 15 where everyone seems to play the same boring top teams. Nobody plays as Morecambe or Burton(apart from me) because it makes the game(on legendary mode) too difficult and too much of a challenge. Too many people these days want a free ride and to make it to the top without making any effort.
                Fingers crossed for RM. it's live here in an hour but I need my sleep. It's all downloaded and ready to go. Roll on morning time. Then let's see if it's any good. Opinion seems to be divided with most reviews concentrating on the lack of features rather than the all important gameplay.

                  Hi everyone. This is me, new member PRO_TOO. Long time TW game fan, non golfer (I wish I could), German, 35 years old, OS forum lurker and proud to finally signed up in here.

                  You, kinda made me register here. Why?! Because I can't understand how you can 3 click your way into the future! I'm not a pro at golf games, never seriously played it (just a few times I went to a driving range and putting green) but I played a lot of the TW games. And as the stick movement became present in EA titles I became addicted to them. NHL was awesome with analog stick shooting and skating, TW was awesome with stick movement (man, you had to swing!!! The stick, but it worked); it all feels so much better and makes so much fun. I don't get why you prefer 3 click. Sure I read your comments but I just can't agree. Even if it's more accurate... It's clicking!!

                  Enough said, I want to make friends in here not foes. Want to listen to the pros. Don't take my comment personal. It's just my opinion.

                  My copy will arrive in like 10 hours. I'll be happy to tee off tomorrow.

                  Have a good night everyone.
                  Don’t go for a 50/50 ball unless your 80/20 sure your gonna win it.

                    Glad you can switch. I'll put it to the right too. Always used it like that.

                      Welcome aboard PRO_TOO. People have expressed a preference for 3 click because it's *less* accurate. Right now when you use the stick it's too easy (for some folks) to hit the ball straight and that gets boring after a while.

                      From what i've read most of those folks would prefer to use the stick if EA can patch some sort of lateral variance into the game in the future.

                        If you prefer, still enjoy this game with the stick as a good arcade.

                          Oh. So I get this wrong. It's about having a bigger challenge. I still wait for a patch so the sticks are more inaccurate as to go for 3 click. This seems so 80's to me (gaming wise).
                          I just can't describe how I hate those click mechanics. As some guys said, there is more error in it but I can't believe that. To click 3 times seems so easy to me like a free throw at nba2k15. Whatch the meter. Press the button. Press it again. There you go.
                          I loved the anolog swing in tw! Sometimes you had to swing just like 70% to get the shot right. Loved it.

                            So 3 click is more realistic?! Cmon. Every gamer wants to feel the motion!!
                            Just turn that freaking arc and other aids off.

                            imgane nhl without sticks. Just a button press. That's so antic. Playing baseball on consoles I prefer stick movement when I want to hit the ball with my bat. Same goes for every game where you have something in your hands to bash at.

                              Not looking for a free ride or to shoot in the 50's. (btw - Fifa 15 team - Real Betis) It just gets frustrating sometimes to judge a 12' putt with a right to left break only to watch it go slowly toward the hole and then go over like the hole wasn't there. I wasn't one of the 'fire it into the hole' players in previous editions, I like the realistic style of play. It just feels at times that they compensated for the fire-hole players a bit too much on the sensitive side. The ones that I have experienced were not going over and then another 1-2', it was going over by about 3". That tells me that I am not over powering it.

                              It's not a game breaker for me, I'm not saying the game is horrible because of it, it's just my opinion that it could use a little adjustment in the ball-to-hole sensitivity area.

                              Cheers!

                                TOUR Custom is hardly arcade.....but if you like 3-click better, great!
