  Ok, been searching but not happy with what I havent found lol... How can I turn the green grid on to see the slope etc on a chip? Especially a chip from the fringe? Is there anyway to remove the aiming BOX on the green? It is sometimes so big I cannot see anything around the hole. One topic I can't find much on is FADING and DRAWING shots. I have been trying by manipuating the shot meter but usually it results in very bad shots, or if it works like I want, very reduced distance shots. Can someone please fill me in on the correct and/or best way to fade and draw shots. I can't imagine playing without the ability, especially on narrow fairways and doglegs and so forth I have a ton of other questions but will give everyone a break! lol Ty Doc

  hi

  if you change to putting mode while being off screen, you should see the grid. there is no special setting for fades or draws, just manipulating of the meter.

  Every time you touch the Aim Marker the grid will show on the green.

  Within the game OPTIONS, you can set it up to show EVERY TIME you putt by default, without having to click the aim marker.

  The easiest way to draw or fade is as follows..

  Imagine the "ding" to be LINE 3 the two lines after the ding are line 4 and line 5, the 2 lines before being line 1 and line 2..

  To draw the ball, you need to stop the meter between lines 1 and 2 to fade between lines 4 and 5..I have found zero loss of distance withe draw and a loss of 5-10 yards with the fade..Always check the wind too, otherwise you may amplify the effect of whatever shot you're attempting..

  It takes a bit of practice to get right but once you do, holes like BPB number 2 become easy to draw around the trees..even in a left to right wind..

  Hope this helps,

  Andrew

  You're describing HOOK and SLICE, not Draw & Fade.

  erm nope..

  Depending where you click between those lines, the ball gently fade or gently draw, too close to either line will result in a hook or slice, which if you read my original post again, you will see that I say that very thing..It requires practice to get right..

  I have done it hundreds of times and it works for me..

  So what will you call that when WGT implement sideways spin on the ball?

  Are you asking me to comment on something which may or may not be implemented? lol

  the OP asked a question, I gave him the advice just as it was originally given to me and as it works for me within the current parameters of the game..

  But hey, for shyts 'n giggles, if WGT implement side spin or give us the ability to move the dot left or right then I'd simply move the dot a bit left or right of middle and ding it, should give me a similar result to what I'm getting now..

  There is no DRAW & FADE in WGT, there is Hook & Slice.
