STRIkE mETER
Utilize the Strike Meter to dig the ball out of bunkers or to pick the ball cleanly when it’s in the
rough. Fat or thin hits are not favorable and affect the shot power and ball trajectory. You can
modify where the clubface strikes the ball with the right stick to gain greater control over the
height of your shot or to move your club left/right on the ball. New this year, you also need to
adjust left or right on the Strike Meter to account for sidehill lies. Alter your contact to suit the
current circumstances. Hit under the ball to pop it up high, or hit near the top of the ball for a
low shot.
PUTTING
After you have lined up the putt with the directional buttons, move left stick V to draw back the
putter and move left stick C to follow through. Follow the swing meter along the ground to know
when to start your follow through. The speed of your movement, your aim, and the length of
backswing determine the outcome of your putt.
For extra help, press the Q button to enable the putt preview feature. It displays the path of the
ball based on your current setup.
ImPROVEd cHIPPING
When your golfer is within chipping range, an arc meter displays along the ground, just as it does
when putting.
