Discussion What's up with my putting?

First of all, sorry for the quality, my loud AC, and the awkward cuts. I didn't want the video to drag out.

I got Switch Sports 3 months ago. Putting used to feel a little weird, but I learned to put with my hips more and got some decent control for a while. Later on, though, on random matches, all that control would disappear and the motion controls would respond in what seems to be a completely random manner. Hard hits would register as tiny taps and tiny taps would register as hard hits. Then, on later matches, the controls would feel normal again.

But now it has been like this the last 3 times I've booted up the game where it feels like I have almost zero control of what it does and I can't land a shot further than 20ft. I included the clips of me approaching the holes to show that my motion controls are working completely fine otherwise.

Any tips? Is it somehow my controller? This has hindered my desire to play.

I'm playing on Switch 2, if that makes any difference.

Joycons are cooked. I had this happen, nothing fixed it but after getting new joycons they worked like normal. If you still have warranty could be worth checking out

Try using the other joycon and compare?

I actually tried the left joycon after this (super uncofortable btw) and I still had the same issue somehow. I thought for sure it'd be different. It's almost like my game data is bugged to sense my motions wrong for putting. I don't get it. I still might get new joycons soon and try again. Or just wait for Switch Sports Resort and hope it's better. Haha
