when the ball is in the air. tap the logo top left of screen. it will open a menu. immediately close the menu.
the green speed will be displayed where it normally is.you can see it until the shot is completed.
obviously this isn't that helpful if you're the first one to hit an approach shot. however if you miss the green and your opponent hits it then you can see the green speed during their shot.
That implies you will only see the green speed if either you or your opponent will hit the green; if the shot you are checking isn't going to hit the green, then the speed won't show up. Is that what you meant? And is it only on approach shots, or can you check on a drive? Some par 4 greens can be hit with a driver (particuarly on Wolf Creek), so would the speed show up when the drive is in the air?
How did you come across this?
any shot that finishes on the green will work. if it's reachable with a driver then that will work also. assuming the ball stops on the green. If you do the trick and it doesn't show the green speed then you know the ball didn't land on the green before the animation finishes.
as to how. I play alot of coin games. thousands upon thousands before they converted the flash PC over even.
I did it a few times by accident then figured out what i had done that was the same. It's a known thing but probably not publicized that much. i probably use it more on tiebreaks than anything.
I usually play in a cigar bar. im often distracted by other things around me. If i had some tap in birdie i may not have even checked the green speed. then i end up with some chip or pitch or flop shot out of the rough or bunker and i need to know the green speed for that shot.
pinehurst has a few of these. congressional. chambers bay.
so if i the opponent goes first on the TB ill check green speed again if i wasn't paying attention before.
it's handy to have the knowledge from time to time.
