Practice. It's the only way. Gotta have a feel for it.

All shots the game thinks are special are automatically recorded and saved in the data section of the game. That's my understanding anyway.

Ok, I just picked this up based on one of your impressions in the Official Thread. Someone said something to the effect of how much fun the game was, how it was the best online Vita game, and how strong the GAF community was. So I went out today and bought it.

Congratulations! I've reached the bronze tournament and I've yet to make an eagle or a hole-in-one. Plenty of chip-ins though and those feel pretty great as well.

The description in the OP reads "Win without changing the default club selected by the game." Good luck with that one!

Sunk one killer of a 55 ft putt. Awesome!!
There isn't a default setting, default is whatever you used last time.

Buy the Manual Record for 10,000.
Also this game is great, it will be the only Vita game I'll need for months!

quick question:
does this game have a pass and play option for two players?
thanks!

Just checked on my copy, doesnt look like it gives the option.

Got my first hole in one and first eagle in back to back holes! Then just took 3rd in my first online match (big cup). Such a great game. Addicted like OoB all over again.

This is why they should of left the terrain line/graph in, I'm getting to grips without it but it was a lot easier to gauge with the graph.
Only advice I can say is keep an eye on the indicator telling you how far you are above/below the pin, after a while you learn how much extra power is needed, for example, for a 10cm slope you my need an extra half segment of power, 23cm a full segment etc, those are just examples and are not necessarily accurate.

Tourney 2...I was doing pretty well, but I had a lie on the rim of a bunker, apparently every shot was a BONK and cost me far too many strokes. -_-

Anyone else feel bad when your ai opponent plays poorly?, I can't help but think "awww, you can do better!"

Heard raves about this series for years, but I never tried it until I got my Vita. Charming, fun, arcadey without sacrificing depth--definitely my favorite launch game!
Eventually I'll get around to venturing online. Gotta get my skillz up first, though.

no...especially not when they hit HIO's on bronze, skull shots that still land .3 from pin etc etc
HSG has always had a whack AI...theyll make a totally outrageous shot and very next turn miss a 3" putt

Wow, how long did that take? I haven't gotten a single crown yet.

Excellent turnout these last 2 matches. We had a full 30 going in the game about to start.
The Eagle I hit in the last match was pretty amazing and would not have happened had it not been for having the turbo spin ball.

Thought I had that last game, going into the 9th with a shot lead, then LiquidMetal turns up with an Eagle.
Well done

O_O Did that just bounce off the flag, drop straight down, and roll right in the hole? Congrats!
Does anybody else watch their replays over and over? There is something so beautiful about a well hit shot.
Anybody on the fence about getting this game should watch this video.

DAMN, that last hole in the current game. I hit it near the water and it bounced off the wooden plant and back into play. SO LUCKY. Landed in sand but manages to save birdie. What a break.

Nice, I hope to do this myself.
Is there somewhere in the game that says what you need to get the crowns for each event? I've got 4 (three for 3 birdies in a row and 1 for scoring under -4) but I have yet to see where it says what you need to do, I just got there by chance.

This is a good beginner guide as well as listing all the crown requirements.

my favorite replay was when the ball went to the cup, and swirrled around it 4 times, before finally slowly falling into the hole.

What kind of zombie powers compelled that ball to go them last 3 inches :O

make sure the pudding isn't too soggy but that just ruins everything
I think the game calculates the shot will go in and then it plays around with the ball a bit at the last second... for entertainment.
My hole in one was kind of weird too... the ball was going straight in but right at the last second it swirled around the cup 5-6 times.
Kind of funny... makes the shots more fun to watch. I enjoy the spectacle.
Affectionately called the "Hot Shots Ball Trolling Engine".
Which scared me earlier today... my ball did a long roll towards a river, and stopped EXACTLY AT THE EDGE.

How do you get the Platinum crowns? I don't understand what they mean by "Win with only the set club number".
The Bronze 100% GIR with rain and gale force winds one is annoying the crap out of me right now. I have 36 crowns complete, soo close to finishing.
Go to the Store. There's an option in the store to Redeem Code.
*looks at insert
lol, never bothered to read the instructions, I just went straight to putting the code in (used to doing it on a PS3).
I think step 4 is wrong too... the codes aren't case sensitive, as far as I know.
Tell me about it. I've barely touched Uncharted and Wipeout. I also want to buy a game or too off the Store, but havent bothered yet.

No, they're not case sensitive. You can enter the codes in lowercase and when it tabs over to the next input field, it fills in with caps automatically.
edit: Actually it seems to fill in the caps as you type, I never noticed that before.

Yeah, I've forced myself to play Katamari and BlazBlue...Otherwise, this would absorb my Vita. Which I guess is good - I'm getting my monies worth like mad!

I have 7 Vita games, I've tried most of them, but this is all I play.
