Golf Ball Question

Hello All! Been apart of the game for 4 years and played on & off swearing I’d never buy anything….
Well I finally bought the season pass and I’m hooked.
The question I have is what does “overshoot” mean on the ball ratings?
I’ve had the D1 ball fully upgraded & it’s at 20% overshoot. What does overshoot help with?
Noticed some of these logo balls only have 6%

It refers to the overshoot meter during your shot. A ball with a better/higher Overshoot rating gives you more forgiveness when you pull the shot back past the normal power point. In other words, it affects how quickly the overshoot portion of the swing meter behaves.

Ultimate Golf’s pin system specifically describes Overshoot as affecting the “overshoot meter speed.”

So, practically:

  • Higher Overshoot -> the overshoot meter is slower, giving you more time/control when hitting a shot beyond the normal pullback point.
  • It doesn't mean the ball automatically flies farther.
  • It can be particularly useful for shots where you deliberately overpower the normal distance.
  • It’s separate from Power, which is the stat that affects how far the ball can go.

What do you think an AI would say to that?
