Title: Golden Tee trackball questions
Post by: jck_strw on August 31, 2007, 08:20:51 pm

Maybe I just never played enough GT in the arcade, but I'm having a helluva time trying to play this game. 

The game works (I've tried them all, but I've been playing GT Supreme Tournament Edition), but I'm not sure if I need to tweak the Analog Settings or just practice more.  On the Analog Settings defaults, a lot of times, I can't seem to hit the ball well.  I'll have the driver out and sometimes I'll get a 250+ drive, but a lot of times, I get 120 yd drives.  Why is that?  What's the trick?  Is it consistent back/forward swings?  Am I spinning the trackball too fast?  Do I need to tweak sensitivity/speed/i-can't-remember-the-other-analog-settings?  Sometimes I seem to have it down and, I think I'm pretty consistent in my back/forward motion, but then I'll have like 7 shots in a row go like 30% of the advertised distance.  What am I missing?

Thanks for any help.

(I have no real experience to support this, but) I bet that you are getting backspin.  Perhaps your sensitivity is too high...

Yup, that sounds about right.  What do others do to correct this?  I have the 3" Happs Trackball if that matters.

Adjust the mouse sensitivity in MAME for Golden Tee.
