Anyone remember the golf game from the 90's that allowed you to move the feet for a draw or fade? Not sure what it is now or if it is still around. The game was a good one and the 9 iron didn't fly over the green 20 yards past like this fked up game we have now.
0:18 Bollocks! This is NOT a draw or fade! Simply hitting left or right is a push or pull! Shot shaping is an advanced technique for very experienced players, in real golf. It also requires 4-core golf balls, which are high-tech balls and very expensive, for this reason alone it is not a technique that everyone can pull off, no pun intended, as normal players often only play with 2-core balls, 3-core balls at best. Up to the first mark it is a push or pull into the wind and good enough to compensate for up to 20 mph winds! No draw or fade! Only on or slightly left of the left marker is a true draw, on or right of the right marker is a fade, and hitting the outer marks is a hook (left mark) or a slice (right mark). The skill required in the game to hit these marks correctly, otherwise the shot will not be shaped correctly, is supposed to resemble the skill required to shape a shot in real golf. You'd better know how to do it, what to do and where to aim correctly, especially in strong crosswinds, which these techniques are designed for when you can't simply compensate for the wind by hitting into it, as you could hit trees, like on the Olympic Club, and have the ball still land on the blind fairway around a corner, like on TOC Back 9. In WGT it is also NOT recommended to try to play around wood lines or other corners as you can easily lose your ball if you miss the outside “dings” (which don't ding at all) as the ball might just fly 20 yards straight into the brush, woods or whatever in front of you from where no other shot is possible. If you mess it up, your ball goes so much elsewhere and is very likely lost on certain courses/tees! If you don't dare, you can't play a draw or fade in this game, and if you do but mess up, it can cost you! So, all you are left with as an unskilled player is a push or pull. The beginner's techniques or the ‘technique’ of not being able of consistently hitting a golf ball properly. Stop this misinformation that you should just miss the ding in this game to play draws or fades, or like the other faction for that matter, whining for left or right spin opportunities just because they don't have the slightest inkling of the game's functionalities. I, as an ol' WGT Nation member, hear and read this malarkey for more than a decade now. Just a reminder: this game is so accurate (the terrain is modelled with a vertical accuracy of 1-1.5 inches to the real links) that it is used by PGA players to familiarise themselves with certain golf links where they are about to play a tourney. It has it all, but not for those who like things to be the easy way. The developers behind this game are not completely fools, they are golfers themselves, so shot shaping has been in the game from the git-go, it just remains a mystery to most players to this day how to do it, and most don't get it right as it also requires a lot of practice, just like everything else in WGT, or they parrot false information and ferry tales they have got from ... some youtubers. or redditors. Shot shaping is NOT as simple as just missing the dang ding, rest assured, because that's what most players do anyway! Better delete this video, you're spreading decades old nonsense! Or make a new one and practise real shot shaping in this game and then show-off some trick shots around blind corners. But this? Is a well deserved thumbs down from here! 🤜🏼🤕 👎🏼
Woah. Impressively long comment! I’m just trying to make helpful content for casual WGT players like myself, and it is not false information as you claim. Many people have found my content helpful, and I am glad to have helped so many. Also, I did read your whole paragraph…, uh hmm, I mean comment. :)
Hello, can you advise me on getting a driver and iron set, i'm almost lvl 40. Should i level up more or is there something in this bracket i could get. I have some credits to use
Hello! I would recommend either getting the level 34 Ping Driver or waiting until the level 58 one. The level 58 Ping was the first driver I purchased. I did not purchase irons until level 90. However, purchasing them earlier is potentially worth it. Just make sure you get irons with high trajectory. For example, the level 47 ones. Wedges, I would definitely recommend waiting until levels 50, 51, and 52 and getting the Max Spin ones. Ping 3 woods are a cheap option at levels 34 and 58; however, they are not so important to me. I still use the starter putter to this day as I putt off-ding. Hope this helps!
I honestly feel like they are fades and draws. Yes, it may start out further left or right, and yet I feel like it still draws or fades in the air. Especially, if I hit with a tracer on, like on some shots in the video, I can see it curving.
@@sftgolfer2000Its both really, but just because it turns in the air doesn’t make it a draw or fade. A fade or draw implies the ball comes out somewhat straight. I see where youre coming from though, this is as close you can get to a fade or a draw in the game right now

@@sftgolfer2000 i settled for the max meter iron set (lvl47) and the Callaway ai (lvl44) driver. Thanks for replying
Not a real Fade and Draw. More of a Pull and Push.
