Even when you set the game for hard pins, the pin placements are not fixed they can still alternate and example of this is when i practiced these settings i had old pin on 2nd hole and in the real game with hard pin settings i had new pin,,Im not 100 percent sure but judging by that hard pins are not fixed in 1 position, if this is the case the yardage will alternate,Also the yardage for coolswings game was 7216 that would confirm my suspicions that pins on hard settings are not fixed
