  This game is really starting to pee me off.

   Can someone pls explain to me why my irons are constantly coming up 10-15yrd short.       Example,    on approach  distance was  161yrd   with a slight tail wind of 5to7 mph.    No elevation.  So I use my club that  goes 165yrd  i hit it at 97% and ding it  which should get me about 160yrds or there about  yet it only went  148 yrds  whats that all about.   And its not just once it seems to b happing alot. I've tried uninstalling game and reinstaling it but that makes no difference and its not apparel related coz I dont use the iron or spin apparel boost. Its really starting to wind me up and its messing up my game,    its making me not want to play game when i actually really like it,   (liked it).       Thanks.

  Sounds like you hit Full back spin, those #s are almost dead on for hitting 160 w/full bs. try re-mapping your ball, your going to find you need to add 10+ for full BS.

  The amount of spin you have to add depends on the spin rating of the ball you are using. I add 7 yrds for HW and 5 yrds for TW. Clubs might have some impact also but I am not sure on that.
