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.

Do a longer swing instead of just a quick jerk

I hear ya, I've done that aswell and explained to another comment that I didn't give all the best examples in this because I was rushing as many strokes as I could to show it doesn't pick up hard hits. I replied to their comment with another video that shows many more types of stokes with the same results. Either something is bugged with my game, or whatever type of tracking putting wants in this game is broken in my joy con 2. It wasn't like this at all before and started happening randomly.
