Hello everyone I hope this tutorial will help you to understand the "uneven lie" feature.
The faster the UL dots grid move, the bigger aim adjustment needs, either sideways or up & down.
To make the adjustments before the shot from fairway, rough and sand, I do the following;
-
look at the grid/box color;
black = even lie (flat shot)
green = easy forward shot
yellow = (some steep lie) possible
forward shot but being aware of the
dots speed
red ,= almost impossible forward
shot (very steep lie) you might need
to hit backwards or to a place for
a forward shot.
-
look at the dots moving sideways and then make my decision of how much I need to move my aim, pretty much like moving the aim sideways due to the wind amount & direction
-
look at the dots moving up or down and make my decision about hit power. Beware that on downhill or uphill lies the ball will fly either very low or very high, you need to learn this curb too; lets say more power with less or no spin with uphill lies (ball flies higher), almost same power as even lies but add back spin to make the shot not so low.
Uneven Lies means ONE more estimating factor than the regular ones you use for even lies. It takes longer or even much longer time to make decisions for your shot, you need to have a good amount of patience.
Best way to learn it; grab the starter balls, pick up any course with uneven lies in PRACTICE mode.
Some tips:
-
fly of the ball is much lower when down hill shot, mind objects ahead.
-
dots moving faster down or up = less distance (you need to add more power (lower iron) to the shot
-
less grip at landing when down hill shots
-
big lost of power when chipping, pitching or flopping close to the green, especially on steep shots
-
shots around the green can be nasty if you miss-judge the direction of the shot or miss the ding
There are many more tips ahead in the thread from cool guys, please read them too.
Please be patience and remember that everyone can learn Uneven Lies.
To me the uneven lies is nothing else but GREAT fun!
Cheers, Eric
