My go-tos for approach are usually flop and spinner, I love how they stop so quickly which is a perpetual problem for me. The shot will either scream all the way across the green from fringe to fringe, or bounce right next to the hole and roll ALL the way backward off the green. Those two shots prevent this from happening as much. And I just will not use pitch, runner, or punch unless I absolutely have to, the amount of roll is insane and hard to control. In order: flop, spinner, chip, then pitch.
finesse and spinner and flop basically are required. if anyone is struggling with holding greens, I suggest putting all the points you can and get those 3 skills to gold. worry about driving later. great vid early!
Thanks pal. I only use the knockdown when playing into wind. I won’t go lower than a 7 iron though. Once you start using 6 or 5 irons the ball just runs out
Great explanations, thanks! i need those information because they didn't add the lenght of the single golf club and this is what i need to learn when use one or another. Thanks again.
I’ve unlocked power drive but I can’t seem to choose it from the tee,can’t change it from Drive,thanks for this I wasn’t sure what some of the shots did,especially the Knock back!
This might sound daft... but how do you hold your controller?? On PS4 I would comfortably be 7-10 under on a round and used the controller through 90 degrees to how you'd normally hold it to get the best result. PS5 though, I'm really struggling!
I swing with the right stick so the left stick applies loft by pushing up, fade by pushing left, draw by pushing right and low loft by pushing down. If you swing with the left stick it will be the right stick for shot shaping.
Dude can I ask you are you able to change your swing styles. I can change my swing animation but not my swing style. Just wondering is this a bug or is it locked once your golfer is created.
I am a long term ea sports golf user,right back to 2008 and have had no problems with the game. With new game however my golfer almost always defaults to "practice" whenever I start a game in any mode.Using the p5 button is supposed to toggle this mode but is totally erratic in use. Have tried other buttons too but getting out of "practice" seems random on my game. Any help would be much appreciated.
I go into a mode (say Career) and get to the first hole and my golfer always starts with "practice " showing under hole details in top right corner.Try to change to "address" by pressing p5 (as you did in the old ea golf games) but cannot get out of "practice" Random clicking can get there in the end but there seems no way to get this change by a single button press. No idea whether this is a game or controller glitch or me being stupid. I am an 80 yr old non techie and love my golf games.Thanks so much for taking the trouble to get back to me and hope this extra info helps.
@@MichaelFarley-l7snot sure if you are still having this issue but are you on console or computer? If console then press the left stick inwards to toggle practice swing, not sure how to do it on computer but if you go into the game settings it should explain it. Hope that helps man
Hey Early ! AMAZING content. I found you a few weeks ago looking for PGA 2k23 content & been a fan of your gameplay. Like I literally seen you do some AMAZING shh 😂. Love these videos from you brother. Hoping you blow up way more than you deserve ! Hope you're enjoying EA PGA as much as I am. Much love ✊🏽
The backspin on approach shots is way off in this game. 9 iron and wedges roll back like 10 yards or more all the time regardless of loft. It's completely ruining the game for me, I hope they tinker with it.
Absolutely. Can’t stand it. Then hit anything below a 6 iron and it runs the greens no matter how you hit it. Tried everything from loft, fades, draws, high fades etc. I’ve done everything and getting punished for making good shots is why this game is going back to GameStop
I’m so annoyed with this game. I can’t get the ball to stop running the greens. I’ll hit it short with a draw or fade and the ball just runs. I’ve even hit my 3-4 irons to the lip in front of the green and it just runs. It’s nearly impossible to get anything to stick. Getting punished for hitting good shots is what this game is about. Trading it back in

great vid early!
Yea great advice pal. Thanks
Upgrade power
The Spinner and Pick are far more useful than the Pitch and Blast. They should be the first shot types you get to gold.
Yea 2 great shots
Agree, the blast is awful and the pitch ain't great either
The pick shot kept me in the tourneys when I first made my character.
Pick is god tier for me. Has bailed me out so many times!
Thanks for this early, been having trouble holding greens but just unlocked the spinner and it's been helping.
Great info…. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Any tips on when and how to use the knock down shot, in terms of the calculations when you are swinging into high winds?

I'm delighted it helps you
Cheers Early this is a massive help to me bud
I'm glad it helped
I’ve unlocked power drive but I can’t seem to choose it from the tee,can’t change it from Drive,thanks for this I wasn’t sure what some of the shots did,especially the Knock back!
Glad I could help. Its L1 and R1 on PlayStation to cycle between shot types
I'm delighted to help pal
You could have milked this into a 15 min video and I’m glad you kept it simple!
Thanks I just want to help other players if I can 👍
Great video, really enjoying the game.
Glad you enjoy it!
This might sound daft... but how do you hold your controller?? On PS4 I would comfortably be 7-10 under on a round and used the controller through 90 degrees to how you'd normally hold it to get the best result. PS5 though, I'm really struggling!
Good question. I hold my controller at a slight angle. Left hand side down and right side up just slightly
Thank you ! nice video !
Glad you liked it!
My approach shots either hit too far past the cup or land and roll off the green. Any tips to have the ball land softer with little to no roll?
I apply high loft to my approach shots, that certainly helps the ball stick better
@@Early1981 excuse my ignorance but how do I apply loft to my shot?
I swing with the right stick so the left stick applies loft by pushing up, fade by pushing left, draw by pushing right and low loft by pushing down. If you swing with the left stick it will be the right stick for shot shaping.
Same mines land way from the cup
Any help appreciated to get on green for hole # 10 Rahm challenge?
Try the challenge on easy difficulty settings
Dude can I ask you are you able to change your swing styles. I can change my swing animation but not my swing style. Just wondering is this a bug or is it locked once your golfer is created.
I honestly don't know. Next time I'm on I'll check for you
@Early1981 Thanks dude.
I can confirm that I can change my swing animation.
@Early1981 Thanks for the reply. I discovered its a bug but if you close down the game and restart it, it'll work then.
U seem to do backspin on all shots? How do u do it mate?
I apply loft before I play certain approach shots. Skill points and specs help. I’ll be showcasing my build next week
@@Early1981 cheers bud
Does anyone know how to do a close approach shot thats a star in the Nike sponsor challenge? Approach shot not showing up as a shot choice.
I haven't tried that yet but I will
Thanks!!! I've been looking all over and haven't found anything. I'm sure it's a simple thing that I have not figured out

Hey pal I'm not sure what you mean. Is your golfer going into practice swing when you load into the game?
I go into a mode (say Career) and get to the first hole and my golfer always starts with "practice " showing under hole details in top right corner.Try to change to "address" by pressing p5 (as you did in the old ea golf games) but cannot get out of "practice" Random clicking can get there in the end but there seems no way to get this change by a single button press.

Actually a good game.
Yea definitely
good vid keep the good work up
Appreciate it pal
How to hit perfect Draws/ Fades on Tour /Sim difficulty
Driving me nuts mate
5min tutorial would be great
I'll get something sorted pal. Cheers
Is there any explanation as to what fast/slow, do to your shots? I haven't found anything with a good explanation.
I think the shot outcomes for non perfect swings are random
@Early1981 that's probably the best I've heard yet 🤣🤣🤣 I wish they'd at least explain their core mechanic somewhere in the game or online.
Can you do a video on skill points..where you should apply them to etc.
I will do it once I figure out the best build. Stay tuned to the channel
@@Early1981 appreciate it..
Thanks mate!
No worries at all pal
@@Early1981 👍
Can anyone tell me why we can’t buy a physical copy of this game in Australia?
Sorry I can't help. That's strange
@@Early1981 I know, it’s EA Sports? Not even people at the games shops of heard of this game nor know why they haven’t got it!
Thanks man
You're welcome pal
Great video! Can you add timestamps please? ⛳
Thanks pal. I'll try to figure that out lol

I have problem to learn analog stik allways going left or right not like yours any shot straight line.Idont know this is skill my character or me 😂😢
Your swing line isn't skill based pal. It's just years of practice that has helped me swing straightish
@@Early1981
Ok many thanks for help
🍺🍺🍺
👏👏
This game is so fucking hard. I can’t get out of Q School
Yea it's tough pal. Keep grinding
Lower the AI difficulty
This is Fantastic Early. There is nothing in the game with this information. Quality video
Much appreciated!
Hey Lee
Hey pal
Thanks for this Lee 🏌♂⛳👍
No problem pal 👍
i want to have a pint with you
Any time pal
Irrelevant as the game won't even load on ANY platform.
I'm sorry to hear you are having issues. Hopefully they are resolved asap
I’m so annoyed with this game. I can’t get the ball to stop running the greens. I’ll hit it short with a draw or fade and the ball just runs.

Yea it's a learning curve regarding holding certain greens
