SWING

You have complete control over shaping all your shots with the swing system in Tiger Woods PGA TOUR® 14. Move the left stick V to determine your backswing, and then move the left stick C to follow through and complete your swing. Follow the swing arc to know when to start your follow through. The speed of your movement, your aim, and the length of backswing determines the outcome of your shot. You can also designate swing controls to the right stick under Gameplay Settings if that’s more comfortable; this automatically sets the Strike Meter to the left stick.

At higher difficulty levels, you must execute draws and fades by swinging your club diagonally (left stick U, Y or left stick O, I). The results are more sensitive to mishits.

Before you swing, notice the Swing Plane is displayed in the lower left hand corner. This Swing Plane is the path you should follow with the swing stick for your backswing and follow through. If it displays at an angle, then you should swing diagonally. If you are off plane, the club head arc will not align with the swing arc and the controller will vibrate. When you are off plane, you will mishit the ball and result in an undesirable shot.

SWING SPEEd

Play close attention to the pace of your swing. Adjust the speed of both the backswing and follow through to perfect the timing of your swing. You can extend your backswing and speed up the forward swing to give an extra power boost. Look to the Swing Feedback Heads Up Display (HUD) in the lower-left corner of the screen after your swing for an analysis of your backswing and follow through.

PRE-SWING STANcE

Adjust your stance to create unique and dynamic shots. Move the right stick Z/X to open your stance and add fade right or draw left for right-handed golfers and fade left or draw right for left-handed golfers. Move the right stick C/V to move the ball forward or backward in your stance, which alters the height of the ball’s trajectory.

STRIkE mETER

Utilize the Strike Meter to dig the ball out of bunkers or to pick the ball cleanly when it’s in the rough. Fat or thin hits are not favorable and affect the shot power and ball trajectory. You can modify where the clubface strikes the ball with the right stick to gain greater control over the height of your shot or to move your club left/right on the ball. New this year, you also need to adjust left or right on the Strike Meter to account for sidehill lies. Alter your contact to suit the current circumstances. Hit under the ball to pop it up high, or hit near the top of the ball for a low shot.

PUTTING

After you have lined up the putt with the directional buttons, move left stick V to draw back the putter and move left stick C to follow through. Follow the swing meter along the ground to know when to start your follow through. The speed of your movement, your aim, and the length of backswing determine the outcome of your putt.

For extra help, press the Q button to enable the putt preview feature. It displays the path of the ball based on your current setup.

ImPROVEd cHIPPING

When your golfer is within chipping range, an arc meter displays along the ground, just as it does when putting.
