As
I've said earlier regarding CHS for the
different clubs. Well, how do you get that CHS?
You mess around with the mouse sensitivity
settings, that's how. You can find the
sensitivity controls under the preferences tab
in the main LinksLS screen during game play and
can be adjusted at any time even mid-round. A
very nice feature, thank you ACCESS.
You probably will find that the default
sensitivity setting will not give you adequate
CHS when you first start out playing PS. This is
normal and do not be discouraged. I have heard
of players with settings all the way to the
right (maximum sensitivity). This, I do not
encourage as control is very very difficult with
this setting. But, I would encourage you to move
the sensitivity to the right (increase). I
started out about 20 clicks left of full right.
You can generate CHS but will find your club
head control limited. Eventually, after some
practice, you can move your sensitivity back to
the left, gaining club head control without
losing CHS. Everybody has their own preference.
What works for one might not for another. I like
this feature. You will need to decide how much
control you are willing to sacrifice to get what
you want for CHS or visa versa. Obviously, the
best setting for you will eventually be the
lowest setting that gives you the desired CHS.
This will give you the maximum club head
control.
My settings for all shots is default. For the
first two weeks of my PS career, I used 8 clicks
right of default for putting and chipping and 12
clicks left of full right for my full shots. I
was long but pretty erratic too. The goal
should be to slowly wean yourself off of the far
right sensitivity setting you initially need to
maintain CHS. I would suggest moving the
sensitivity down one or two clicks every time
you play until you reach default. This
way, you won't even notice the change.
My suggestions for fooling with the mouse
sensitivity would be to go to St. Andrews, start
a new game with no wind and mullies turned on.
Head to the first hole and take a few swings
with the default settings just to get yourself
somewhat acquainted with the PS swing meter.
Then, I would suggest you move the sensitivity
up to say, 75% of maximum. Try a couple of
swings with that setting. Or, try somewhere in
between those two. When you start getting a
consistent 100+CHS with the driver, settle on
that sensitivity setting for awhile. Practice,
practice and... you guessed it, practice some
more. Remember that ctrl z will abort the shot
after you have hit. This stops the ball flight
animation and puts you back on the tee. This is
very useful for practicing as you don't need to
watch the ball flight every shot. You must have
mullies on though for ctrl z to work.
