The "Shot Confidence" meter is dynamic. If you’ve been nailing your drives all day, your accuracy window for the driver stays wide. If you start shanking shots, that window shrinks.
On the first few holes, play it safe. Aim for the middle of the fairways and greens to build a "bank" of confidence that will help you when you need to attempt a risky power shot on the back nine. 2. Abuse the "GameFace" Attributes
Flick forward as fast as possible, but ensure your thumb stays perfectly vertical. Even a slight tilt to the left or right will result in a hook or slice that the confidence system will punish you for later. 4. The "Spin" Cheat Code
