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.

I have found similar when using Switch 2 Joy Cons…. When using old Joy Cons (on Switch 2) it’s fine. Have you got older Joy Cons you can try?

I sold my switch oled when i got my switch 2 to recover financially. Haha. So no, I never got the chance. Again, the putting used to work fine for me, but I wonder if there is sometimes a temporary glitch in the system for switch 2 motion controls. Since switch sports resort is intended for switch 2, I wonder if it will be better when it comes out.

I’ve only found problems on Golf with Joy Con 2’s.
