Does anyone have any idea if these settings actually have any impact on the shot? I've been playing with them and can't figure it out. Also, anyone have a solution for getting delicate chip shots to read? It works some of the time, but not all.

I believe the settings are leftover from the console version of TGC and don’t have anything to do with the sim version. -
JB50 is correct

Can confirm they mean nothing! The first many rounds I played I was always fiddling with those settings and for whatever reason found later that it didn't matter. so swing away, however you want, pitch, chip or flop!
The only problem with the flop shot is that you actually have to setup SQUARE and then open the club up during the swing...it's awful feeling but actually works quite well. Reason is because RMotion CALIBRATES just before you hit and your suppose to be square...so if your WIDE open it thinks that's square...and not lofted up. It does work great if you can handle the club during swing and open it up!Comment

How is it that TGC is reading how your club face is? Excuse my noobness, but I thought the launch monitors job was to read ball speed, motion angles and spin based on dimples with high speed cameras, then to tell TGC what to do? -
HookShank you are correct, maybe I didn't clarify what I meant. TGC is not taking into account anything related to the "shot type" your launch monitor, or in this forum the RMotion club sensor. So the thing with the RMotion as I was trying to say, it doesn't know if your club face is open when you setup...it needs to be SQUARE to your target. At impact if you have opened up the club face like a flop, it will indeed register a very wide open lob wedge or whatever. Then producing a much higher softer, spinnier (is that a word) shot, that will go to the right for a right handed player, just like in real life. If I'm playing a flop like shot out of the bunker or near the green with this technique I will always move the target aiming reticle to the left 2 yards or so...

I was playing around with RMotion trying to improve my short game (quit laughing in the back there) doing Chip, Pitch, Flop and Putting. Like Stormgolf said, the R-Motion needs to zero out (find it's home coordinate system) and does that when the club is motionless and in an upright position (square) position. So the flop is an odd one because you have to open the club face during your swing. The only thing I've noticed in chips and pitches is that it sometimes needs a more forceful strike to register than you might expect. It might miss small 1-3ft chips-n-runs. For putting, it can be even odder. There, you have to read the slope of the greens and set the putter face open (or closed) to aim the ball and then straighten the putter face to square on the down swing. That's not an easy move to do accurately but I've nailed some good 24ft putts on a slope doing that. The odd thing is that how you open or close the club face is the opposite direction of the slope. So a left to right slope will be open and a right to left slope will be closed during your setup.Last edited by Chuck; 05-08-2018, 09:26 PM.Courses Created:

oh man you lost me talking about opening and closing the face of the PUTTER! Are you aware of the aiming reticle? That is how I play slopped greens. I have a square to square putting stroke...I putt left hand low. I have no problems with putting and it feels very natural distance wise. Make sure you adjust your club settings in RMotion clubs...to get the best feel on putting.
