  • Short chips on e6

    I wanted to start a thread that is specific to the problems with chipping on e6 in the hopes that this is being looked at by skytrak and trugolf and any other sim software coming down the pike. For me, any shot of about 20 feet or less that is on the fringe or rough is completely unplayable. If a pin is tucked near the edge of the green you are forced to play away from it. It's basically a hazard and a penalty stroke. Yesterday I hit a nearly perfect 2nd shot into hole 1 with the pin up front. Ended up 10 feet away, but inches into the fringe for eagle. Desperate to figure out a way to hit this shot the proper speed or even in the hole (gasp a straight 10 footer) I tried all the tricks. I hit a Putt hard, a hooded 8 iron, put the ball varying inches behind the red dot. Nothing would register. Finally gave up and progressively started hitting a chip harder and harder until it would register. 26 feet past the hole later I'm missing a birdie Putt and making par. E6/skytrak this is a deal breaker for any sim that I would pay for. Praying this is e6 and not skytrak and just a beta issue. I for one won't be buying any of these sims until glaring issues like this one are resolved.

    On a side note I was playing with my 8 year old son yesterday and he had a chip of about 50 feet on flat green. He hit it way to easy but he did hit it solid, my guess about 15 feet. However it hit the green about 8 feet away and then spun back off the green. So my guess is something is way off with spin on very short chips that is causing no reads and this weird behavior. Or else he has some incredible grooves in his wedge lol.

    If anyone has had any success or any tricks with these shots pleas post a reply. Thanks all.

    Wow...nice. Did not expect that to work on such a soft hit.

      Thanks bubba, the better question is, why isn't any sim out yet? At this point I'd be shocked to see it out before the end of the year.

        Yep luv, that is a better question. The ability of Skytrak is more than portrayed. When they will release the sim software is beyond me.

        It's unfortunate. Putting and chipping wows. I still stand by my opinion that until these issues are fixed it's a beta product with no sim.
    Working...
