[quote="loveclose"]Hi there Pappy, Had exactly the same issues as you when I first arrived here - still do sometimes!!!! One of the reasons I'm enjoying the OnGolf experience is the real challenge in making a decent swing. You are right to assume that the sweet spot on the club is important to gaining that extra distance you feel is lacking. The essence of OnGolf is that you are not guaranteed a 100% golf swing every time unless you are perfect everytime - hence the more realistic challenge. I found the following to be of use: 1) Adjust mouse sensitivity to around 0.4 or 0.5 if you are having difficulty following the swing path accurately. Depends on the mouse you are using a little.....if 0.4 or 0.5 is either too mechanical or too lose, you will need to experiment in the range. 2) A fast mouse swing does not always produce full power - far from it. Try swinging slower to keep the mouse on track with the swing path, and especially get the white track ball of the swing path as square to the ball as you can just before impact. 3) The swing path is generally curved - I find that if I maintain a curved swing path right up to the point that the white track marker meets the ball, and then straighten the swing a little for a 'straight' path, this helps make a higher % impact on the sweet spot and helps keep the shot straight. However - you will find like real golf that you will be more successful some days and not others!! One evening I hit two 9-hole rounds both below par. The next morning I lost count how many shots I made.... You are always welcome to have a bash around the links with me at any time - you'll see very quickly that most of us have good and bad days!!!! Hope you stick at it - it's worth it and great fun around here.[icon]greenflag[/icon] [/quote]
