Once you've landed on the green, it's time to pull out your new putter. Luckily this year, you only need one. You will once again have to pick your landing area on the green like in year's past, the only difference is now you have a putting meter to the right of your screen.
Pull back on the left analog stick to get the putter head moving backwards, and push forward to knock it home. Any slight miss-hit at all could be the difference between a one putt and a four putt, so make sure you're practicing.
Reading the greens is a difficult task as it is, especially on the higher difficulties, so it's vital to your score to be a solid putter. The controller will vibrate if you really miss-hit the ball, which is a nice feature since
sometimes you're really not paying attention to the meter.
The dynamic weather is also a cool new feature as well. Watch through the round as your opening hole has blue skies and sunlight, but that slowly fades into a cloudy drizzle. Or play in a downpour for a few holes, to have the rain finally stop.
The weather dramatically effects your shooting as well, since the ball will not roll as far or spin as much in the wet conditions. This is just another feature that adds to the juice and realism of TW:10.
The only problem I have with it is when you're used to putting in the rain and the next hole the rain stops, it really messes with your head on how hard you should strike the ball. There should be a smoother transition on the putting green.
At the end of the day, with a birdie putt on the line, I'll take Tiger Woods PGA Tour 2010 on my side any day of the week (but specifically Sunday). Because quite frankly, it's better than most.
