I know guys on TW 14 sim mode would cheat the diagonal swing by putting their thumb next to the stick while holding the controller diagonal. I don't know if this method works nor do I care. Never going to stop cheating in life or in video games. At least in life it usually about money, sex or both. Cheating a video game is pretty sad. That is why global leaderboards are usually a joke. They hold about as much weight as my accountant does. Worthless....
The one thing that helps in golf video game is a tempo swing. It at least takes out some of the math and thus mapping is not as easy. As of now you can hit the driver off the tee and pretty much know where it is going if you are half decent at this game.
