Ok, I'm not great at this game but I'm not a newbie either.
I've read some players saying they hit the ding 80%+ and tbh I'm dumbfounded. In an 18 hole round lets for ease of maths say 36 drives and approach shots, of those 36 on average I ding perhaps 4 or 5. How do you possibly ding 25+.
My (obviously flawed) system is I stare at the meter until it gets to about half way then refocus on the ding line, and by the time my eyes have focussed it's press time and if I get that right I (sometimes) get the ding.
Do you have a 'system', if so what is it? Any help would be most appreciated.
P.S. This is in no way an accusation of any kind ref dinging, just an honest request to see if I can replicate some better methodology.
I think it all depends on the clubs . For example , I use the L81+ and 83+ G20s, with the L11+ Srixons. I dont have to hit the ding in order to be accurate , due to precision , and forgiveness . Also , you have to take into consideration the o/p style of play. Do they move the distance marker, or leave it at default , when adjusting for windage . Then the most important factor , how is the vem / deviation affecting them , while playing , and other game issues . Do they have problems with the meter spikes , skips , and freezes ? So in all fairness, I think the 80% + ding strike , is more fiction than fact . Just a part of golf stories in the game. Not truly saying that it cant be done, just find it hard to believe , with the game issues at hand. So in the end , you will have to find your own way, this just like putting. What works for one, may not work for every one . You just have to develop your own technique ,and kick butt from there. Hope I didnt rain on your parade , by adding my 2 cents . I was just looking at the factors in the game . Happy Swinging
