All Swing Options in PGA Tour 2K23

2K’s PGA Tour is back after a two-year hiatus (alongside Tiger Woods) with PGA Tour 2K23. And with it, the user-friendly ability to swing naturally with the analog stick makes its long-awaited return (also called, Analog Swing, obviously). However, this year marks the 2K’s franchise debut of a new swing option called the 3-Click Swing to add some spice to the formula (and bring back old memories from past golf arcade games). Let’s swing away and talk about all swing options available in PGA Tour 2K23.

All Swing Options in PGA Tour 2K23

The Analog Swing

Arguably, the best part of the previous installment in the series, PGA Tour 2k21, was the Analog Swing, and it has returned. Although it may need a little bit of calibration, it feels quite natural and self-explanatory. All the player needs to do is to pull back on the analog stick (it can be the left or right analog stick, the game gives you the ability to choose), and then push forward just as the power meter reaches the perfect spot in order to achieve golf glory. Timing is the rule here, just like in all things, I guess.

The 3-Click Swing

A new swing option arrives, and it’s a traditional one. The 3-Click Swing is a little more complex to explain and also to perform, but certainly, some control freaks like myself will surely be appreciative of this inclusion, as well as the golf-game purists from the past.

Instead of swinging with the analog stick, the player needs to push the swing button (X or A, depending on the platform) and release it when the shot power is at the white circular band which represents the intended power (don’t worry, there is a little bit of leeway thanks to the gray band, while the red band represents an overshot).

Afterward, a dot will travel counterclockwise at the top of the circle firstly, which represents the path of your swing, and then at the bottom of it, representing the open or closed club face. Aiming for the yellow spots is the goal here (you can also change the difficulty if you find it very unforgiving, there’s no shame in that. Right?).

You can choose your own play style right now from all the swing options available in PGA Tour 2K23!
