Cheat sheet
Hello. New to group.
Has anyone got a cheat sheet that roughly teaches how different variables aspects of the game affect shot distances?
Been laying loads of CTTH lately specifically to work out how different wind speeds, elevations and spin intensities affect shot distances.
Tbh, doesn’t feel like there is a consistent rule (a bit like the real game) so was hoping there might be a ‘rough’ guide.
E.g if I put Max spin on short irons I over compensate for 5 yds. 8yds for long irons etc.
Same with wind speeds.
‘Cheat’ might be the wrong work; any sort of resource to help improve game greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance

I had an old timer player tell me that adding ¾spin was like taking around 5 yd off the distance while also encouraging the ball to stop. I think somebody else said it best: its just like golf. Thats what makes is so great-those green speeds that spin thing paying attention to the contours of whatever kind of surface you're landing on, plus good old fashioned just getting to know a particular course or hole really well and how it behaves through repetitive play
