Pro Stroke Golf 2007 release date and info

Along with the announcement of the final release date for ProStroke Golf: World Tour 2007, Oxygen Interactive has also decided to celebrate this by releasing the game’s PSP play guide to show how the game’s control system (“ProStroke”) is translated into Sony‘s handheld’s system.

Oxygen prides themselves on this ProStroke control system which allows players to have more control over, and give more power to, their swings and shots, allowing you to pull off chip shots and backspins, etc. The kind of shots you make also won’t come from the game’s menu, you can create this yourself by mixing and matching techniques and coming up with combinations for executing different shots. Here are some of the shots that you can make in the game:

Chip and Run – This means the ball is airborne for a very short time and much of the ball movement involves rolling. When this happens, it’s best to keep the ball low, and to do this, push the analogue stick forward to hit the ball higher up. As the ball rolls a long way, reduce the power – often less than a third of the amount of power given on the target marker is required.

Punch Shot – best used when faced with high winds or overhead branches, this shot requires hitting the ball with a low trajectory. How-to: In Swing Mode, move the ball to the back of your stance by pressing down on the D-pad. This means that the ball will be struck whilst the club head is still moving downwards and results in a lower trajectory shot. The further back in the stance, the lower the shot.

Flop Shot – When playing a short shot toward the pin with a bunker between you and the flag, the safest shot is the Flop. Almost like the opposite of a punch shot, here you play the ball with a very high trajectory. To do a flop, move the ball to your front by pressing up on the D-pad in the Swing view. This way, the ball will be struck by a rising club head and will result to a high trajectory shot with a soft, vertical landing.

ProStroke Golf 2007 is scheduled for release November 10th. We will update you as soon as we get more details.
