the club to select and view other
optional clubs.
Select the spin of ball. For example,
you can choose to hit the ball with topspin as shown on the left. With topspin, the ball will continue to roll after
landing and carry the ball to its
possible maximum distance. Or you
can hit the ball with under-spin to
ensure a safe shot onto the green or to
avoid Water hazard or Bunker.

under-spin the shot usually decrease
the designated club distance.
Putting
ZIOGolf
Now to hit the ball, as shown on the left,
tap on the middle of Swing Gauge and
keep it there, you will see the power
gauge increasing. And depending on
when you let go, the power of the shot is
determined with red line even the power
gauge keeps going over the red line due
to the elasticity. The swing power is
determined from the distance between
the bottom central line and the red line.
One more tapping makes stroke and you
can experience the effect of hook or slice
according to the hit timing.The stronger
the swing power is, the more the ball is
hooked or sliced. So you should be
careful not to make OB. "Too greedy
shot can bring you a poor score"
Putting is similar with hitting a shot,
except that it requires more precision. Do
you know the golfing idiom, "Never Up,
Never In?". If you hit the putt too lightly,
the ball will stop before the hole cup. But
if you hit the ball too hard, then it could
be disastrous. Be cautious of hook and
slice of ball and check the distance to
the hole cup.
