How to Use Them?
The wind can change at the start of your turn. Current wind conditions are shown and will change every time, so make sure to check them when they’ve changed.
Start your shot and you’ll notice a ring showing the direction of the wind right on top of your trajectory. You can cross-reference with the chart to see how much you need to adjust your aim based on the wind direction.
Basically, try to make your shot fall in the spot where the star is in this chart. Take into account which way the wind is blowing and use one of the notches on the big arrow to know approximately how far into it you will be influencing your ball.
Adjusting and compensating for wind power takes a bit of practise, so don’t worry if it doesn’t work out the first time. The more you do it the better your skill will get in no time!
