I am just making sure everyone knows about the backspin and topspin options in the game. All the reviews I read mentioned nothing of them so I want to make sure I am not the only one who knows about them.

After you press A to set your power hold DOWN for backspin and UP for topspin, keep holding it until after you set your trajectory(angle).

e careful with the German guy because his backspin is pretty vicious.

I am pretty sure that this also applies to the Neo Geo Pocket version.

Yes it does! Man "Los Turfes" is one hell of a game. Pretty heated competition here from time to time. Man you gotta love XX's threads, there's always something good in them.

Tony! Long time no see Avenger! btw; the movie turned out great, I hope they don't ruin mine too much.

What other great 2D golf games are there? Would you classify Neo Turf as one of the best from the 16 bit era?

Defenately! There's a game very similar to "Los Turfes", man! I think is called skins or some shenanigans like that. Top playesr Golf is cool too, a bit mundane, but it's way harder than NTM, so maybe you might like it, if you can get pass the fugly factor.

Eagle Shot Golf is great as well, iirc made by the same team that made Neo Turf.

I have been doing the spin for a while but do you guys at all find it can be pretty random?
I try and do back spin and sometimes it goes the other bloody way

Seems kind of big to be a secret, doesn't it? Thanks for mentioning this though. I don't think I ever knew about it.

Never new you could do that. If your looking for other golf games Konami's Golfing Greats and Irem's Major Title 1 and 2 are worth a mention. Both Jamma PCB's (Joystick control)

Hello everyone

I love this game but there is one thing I was never able to find out.
On the player statistics, what is recovery? I think the German guy is definitely the best by miles with excellent driving, accuracy and putting, which are the three main ones you would need on every shot. Skill I assume is the ability for "hook and slice" but I rarely use it. And then we have "recovery". Is this really important? Otherwise I cannot think of a reason to not choose the German player.

Thanks

Recovery usually refers to the hitting accuracy when striking from the rough. The higher the recovery rating the better they are at recovering after a bad shot that went into the rough.

i think it takes into account the shot meter

better recovery means you have more blue than red on all clubs compared with another golfer, so it means even in dire circumstances you will have a better chance to hit a more perfect shot

I think that I'm gonna start wearing one of them golf gloves so I can step it up on my skill, just to be able to keep up with busted...and here I thought I was decent man was I wrong, but I'm getting there, sometimes I can pull some real beautiful shots.
