  Hello, I am some what new to this game and I am starting to enjoy it. I seem to be having a little trouble with the swing on the new EZ Swing clubs. It seems that sometimes when I hit the ball it starts way off from the aim that I was originally at. Like when you are hitting with the power bar and you click your mouse to soon the ball draws left or when you click to late the ball hooks right, but with the EZ Swing I would think it should go straight. What am I doing wrong?? THANKS

  Just change to the other set of clubs that you have. Problem solved.

  Well I could change to the other set but when it does work I get some really nice shots! I thought others might have had the same trouble.

  Go for some really nice rounds, ditch the easy-swings.

  You're not doing anything wrong.  EZ clubs were introduces, a while back, to help players learning the game for the first time.  Personally, I don't think those clubs do what was intended...but if you insist on using them, keep in mind that they have very poor precision...and that's why they don't go very straight.  In order to hit the ball straighter with EZ's, you'll need to use less power...but you will sacrifice distance. 

  IMO, the EZ clubs do have a place, as they are good for players with poor hand eye coordination that might not be able to play this game any other way.   Otherwise, it might be best to begin using the Starter clubs as they have the meter that all the other clubs in this game are based on.

  I completely agree. the EZ swings were detrimental to my growth as a new player. I used them for a couple rounds before i realized it was time to upgrade to the legitimate clubs. They taught me distance before i had to worry about accuracy. 

   

  Now i know accuracy trumps distance in the long run, however it was a valuable lesson taught. Believe me, don't jump to starters unprepared, or else your in for a rude awakening. Just play your rounds conservatively.

  Well said Joey, and with more knowledge and helpfulness than I.
