14. Move to determine your backswing, and then move

follow through and complete your swing. Follow the swing arc to know when to start
your follow through. The speed of your movement, your aim, and the length of backswing

At higher difficulty levels, you must execute draws and fades by swinging your club diagonally
(,
or ,
). The results are more sensitive to mishits.
Before you swing, notice the Swing Plane is displayed in the lower left hand corner. This Swing
Plane is the path you should follow with the swing stick for your backswing and follow through.
If it displays at an angle, then you should swing diagonally. If you are off plane, the club head
arc will not align with the swing arc and the controller will vibrate. When you are off plane, you
will mishit the ball and result in an undesirable shot.
SWING SPEED
Play close attention to the pace of your swing. Adjust the speed of both the backswing and
follow through to perfect the timing of your swing. You can extend your backswing and speed
up the forward swing to give an extra power boost. Look to the Swing Feedback Heads Up
Display (HUD) in the lower-left corner of the screen after your swing for an analysis of your
backswing and follow through.

modify where the clubface strikes the ball with the to gain greater control over the height
of your shot or to move your club left/right on the ball. New this year, you also need to adjust
left or right on the Strike Meter to account for sidehill lies. Alter your contact to suit the current
circumstances. Hit under the ball to pop it up high, or hit near the top of the ball for a low shot.
PUTTING

follow through. Follow the swing meter along the ground to know when to start your follow
through. The speed of your movement, your aim, and the length of backswing determine the
outcome of your putt.
