Hey,
Here are some tips for the game if anyone needs them! This games swing mechanics are super close to real life's! Online is really picking up to compared to the beginning. Kinda basic but playing golf (the part that counts) plays great!! Only golf game that has this much control. It's the best. Kinda like Hustle Kings.
I pasted some tips that really make the game better! Any questions just ask. I will be glad to help!!


Swinging Difficulty Too Hard
If your having problems hitting the ball far enough and straight enough.
There are 9 Different Difficulty Settings. The First BEGINNER setting you barely swing to launch it 300 yards and dead straight. The hardest setting TOUR PRO is TRUE 1-1 Swing speed with perfect angle readings, perfect for good golfers.
There are 9 Difficulty Settings, so Simply just Pick another one that works better for you!


Over-Cursor Sensitivity
On the main menu if the cursor is too sensitive.
Just walk in closer to the camera. Stand about two feet away. The cursor will then move very slowly!


Putting Aim Sensitivity
If your having trouble aiming your putter in small amounts.
-Stand closer to the camera
-Put the Move Cursor barely to the left or right of the hole, or even on a side edge of the cup.
-Tap the Trigger, do Not pull it.
You can also press Triangle and zoom into the cup and do the same thing, in which it will move even less.
Doing this you can move your Aim a fraction of an inch!


Better Putting
This is a Better Method than using the multi Scale-putting system.
When it's time to putt-
Set the putting scale by hitting box to the LONGEST setting which is 40 yards.
The 40 yard scale almost matches real life.
Putt this way everytime.
This way you will start to feel and develop distance control in the game!

Driving Range/Practice Facility
Want to practice the same shot over and over, or work or different parts of your game? Go to Tutorials in the Main Menu. You can then pick different areas to play and practice your game! You can practice shooting the same shot over and over then.

Better Graphics
On my HD TV I have 2 Customizable Presets for picture adjustments I can save.
I tried adjusting the settings and I was able to Greatly improve the graphics in a couple ways for Prostroke.
For instance I was able to smooth out(blur or un-sharpen edges) the trees and bring more color into the game(saturation and tint)! The trees look much more natural now and the bland color is now very rich!!
It's definitely worth trying it if your TV is cable of doing it! This helped for a couple games I have.

Golf Swing Tips
Here are some tips if you don't play golf.

It is an easy explanation of ClubFace Angle. (the picture of the Club Head in the bottom corner)

---Swing Path (the Green Line through the ball in the bottom corner)

It's a great explanation of Swing Path!

Imagine you have a shaft pointing straight out of Move's Lighted ball with a club head on the end of it. Then you can imagine what would happen. That should help a lot!!

Good stuff.  I had read that this was pretty realistic, and that's what made me think twice about it.  I hadn't bought Tiger Woods every year, but had a couple times in the past and enjoyed it, but Ive never once played golf before, so I figured this Prostroke game would be more frustrating than enjoyable.

It can be really realistic depending on what difficulty level you have it on.
In Hustle Kings Pool it is insanely hard to pocket a ball, just like in real life which makes it so much fun because it's realistic. If you pocketed every shot easily  it would lose it's challenge and be kinda cheesy. Kinda like how hard it is to take someone out in MAG. But it takes work to make good controls, like how Prostroke made them.

Sorry I forgot to add it. They have 3 Different modes, Beginner, Pro and Tour Pro. With 3 Levels of difficulty on each one. So you can pick from 9 settings to get the one you like the best!! I added more info above.

Slapshot

Awesome stuff for those who need it. Great job man.

My biggest advice to newbie is golf is to keep your elbow in, that will eliminate the majority of the the slice/hook shots.

You can use this topic Not just for this game, but for any other that needs tuning!

That sounds like a great idea. I've used my HDTV's Game Mode in the past but to be honest I've never seen a difference. Making this game look better is definitely a good thing though

Thanks for the tip!

Definitely it works!!

For example in Prostroke by adjusting the TV Settings, it raised the Trees like 3 points on a scale from 1-10! I can't even play on another setting after adjusting it. The difference is huge!

I now try different settings for most of the games.
