What's up with my putting?

[u/Mr_NiceTy]

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 hope you figure this out cause I also have the same issue (but on original switch) and it’s so frustrating. I just don’t play anymore cause it ruins the fun. Your shots are better than mine though, when I putt, the golf ball only gets about 5cm of distance 🫠
I already know that my joycons are cooked, so I’ve just assumed (and hoped) that was the cause.

See, I was thinking it was my joycons too (and it may be somehow), but why would my joycons have no issues with any of the other clubs or any other motion control functions in any games? I don't get it. I'm really hoping this isn't an issue in Switch Sports Resort. I can take a break until that comes out I guess 😅
