Question

Golf+- Help with game play.

In real life I play to a scratch, sometimes better sometimes a little worse.  I cannot seem to aim with Golf+ (quest2).  Drives slice every time although I can keep in fairways about 60% of the time, so it’s more of a fade.  Even adding draw to it.  Little wedge shots pull to left as well.  Is there something I’m doing wrong?  Any way to tweak it?  I know it’s not real and it’s for fun, just wondering.

Same (except 10 handicap). In real life I play a fairly consistent draw. Every tee shot in this game is a big slice. Trying to hit a draw makes it even worse because the ball starts out to the right then slices....

 

It forces you to play a fade, which I really don't want to get used to because I'm afraid it will screw up my real golf swing.

Do any of you use the golf handle attachment?  I am considering buying it and the Golf + game.  Although now I am not so sure...Did any of you work out the swing issue?  Would the handle help?

I just got the attachment and the problem went away at the top golf driving range but on the course it's still a slice. the only thing that works is a fake golf swing - pulling the club back about 1/3 of the way and swinging through the target line. it's disappointing.

 

wondering if the speed of a real swing is causing the sensors to not be able to read the club face at impact. this makes a little sense because at the practice tee i can see it showing my contact across the ball right to left and left of the target line. I know it's not but that is what it senses

I have spent hours trying to figure out how to not slice the ball in this game. Every suggestion I have found doesn't work, other than to do a slow half swing - but then your ball ends up way short of where you should land it.

As a last resort I tried the Novice setting, and it fixed the slice. It's kinda sad that I have to play the game on Novice, but at least I'm not having to aim 40 yards left of my target anymore.

I am having the same problem on the game I just bought. I played on my sons system and every thing was perfect. Also, the putting alinement was different, mine just gives me slop, no aim line????

I have the gold handle attachment. It’s nice but not worth the money for a $5 grip and shaft.. should be $40 not 100. 

I can not take a full golf swing or I slice as you all mention. 

Only way is to do punch shots where you don’t rotate much and keep the club face angle square/.  I fear this will screw my real swing up.

 

had anyone figure something better out yet? Maybe club angle changes??  

when I go to top golf on real life I punch shot a lot to score/ funny I started doing that in vr and it works like a charm..

Strange we all seem to have same issue. I have found this game does coincide with my real game though. I cut across the ball outside to in and end up with a fade, real or Oculus game. My biggest problem is I have to address acquardly due to the Oculus grip. My grip appears to be inside my stomach hari Kari like. I have adjusted the club in settings but doesn’t help.

I must have finally found the proper search terms to see if anyone else was having this issue - its been driving me nuts since I've gotten the game. I play a draw with all of my irons, and a straight to slight fade with my driver, and I cannot for the life of me replicate this in the game - despite reading countless articles stating how accurate this game is. I don't get out to play a round of golf often anymore, but the range I visit occasionally has Top Tracer technology - and as recently as two weeks ago I can confirm I was drawing the ball - both visually watching the ball flight, and the Top Tracer data.

I think these ppl really don’t know how to play golf.. a guy at work told me the game is so realistic how he fades on the course and all this and in the game it’s all the same..   come to find out the guy at my work.. really doesn’t know how to play.. but thinks he does 🤦‍:male_sign:…. I haven’t picked the game up since/   I guess you can go around punch shotting… no rotation, keep face angle basically closed on back swing..     either it will mess up your real swing or make your bump and runs , short punch shots better in real life lol.
