    I've seen a lot of EA/2k golf videos, and this is probably the best I've found. First, it's not patronizing like most of the other ones. And second, come on it's a Scottish person! It's a law of nature. When anyone from Scotland (or New Zealand) explains golf to you, you'd better listen they know what they're talking about!
    P.S. As far as the 1yd=3ft conversion, for everyone in Europe, 10 feet = 3m so 1 yard = 0.914m. Don't you love our awesome measurement system? 🤣

    When hitting a short iron into the wind, say from 130, and its into the wind 7mph, you can be sure to play it at 140. The wind eats up the short irons

    I love your videos, great infos all the time! Thanks for your work! Would it be possible to have an updated video on wind calculation? I mean distance affects the calculation (further shorts will be affected more by the wind than closer shots). Also, a topic that no one talks about... How to calculate diagonal winds? N-E, S-W, etc. Finally, do you calculate differently facing the wind or the wind in your back? Thanks again for all your work!

    • @Early1981
      @Early1981  7 місяців тому +1

      The wind doesn’t affect the knockdown as much as an approach or finesse shot. I play mainly by feel but for example if I’ve got 120 yards to the pin into a 10pmph wind I’d be looking for a knockdown shot that goes roughly 132 yards or close to it

    Another question, do you have to find a club that meets the exact calculated yardage? I notice in this game that approach shots have only fixed distances but with finesse you can dial the distance down to anything you want, so couldn't you take a 190 yard club, change to finesse and put it at exactly 185? Why do some shots allow you to fine tune the distance but others are only 1 fixed distance? Also would you use shaping to fine tune that distance?

    • @Early1981
      @Early1981  11 місяців тому

      If I am in between yardages I use a finesse shot and pull the aim marker to the required yardage I need and yes shot shaping can help fine tune yardage

    • @tomservo75
      @tomservo75 8 місяців тому

      @@Early1981 Thanks. I always wondered why some shots are available sometimes and others aren't, and why you can move the aim marker on some but not others. Also, the biggest problem I've had with approach shots is the ones that either roll 100 yards all the way across the green and go out the other side, or the opposite, it hits near the hole and then rolls backward all the way off the green. I think draws and fades are better there, no? My reasoning is that they hit at an angle and are less likely to roll straight back. I also like to hit it "into" the slope so if the green's sloping right to left, I'll hit a fade (that's the one that hits the ground going left to right, correct)? How did you get it to backspin like that at 5:30? Was it just the high loft?
