Wind mechanics are one of the many different mechanics in this game. If you know how to utilize the wind correctly, then it will make for a more accurate shot/placement.
In this Golf Rival wind guide, I’ll be teaching you how the wind system works in Golf Rival, along with a chart of possible winds for different clubs. Take notes and make sure to come back if you want more tips on golf clubs.
One of the things that makes Golf Rivals unique is it’s Wind mechanic. The game features a Wind Chart, which can be used to understand how this mechanic works.
The wind diagram is comprised of a few parts, which you should be aware of. These will help you to read and adjust the shots later on. They mainly are
- Arrow
Center
Rings [White, Green, and Yellow]
Blocks
The backside of the wind chart
There are three different types of wind charts available in Golf Rival. They are:
White Wind Chart
Yellow Wind Chart
Green Wind Chart
In the points below, I’ll show you what each golf wind chart means. It is crucial to pay attention to these indicators when taking a swing, as they will tell you how potent your shot will be. The values for each chart are:
White Chart
This is your longtime gauge for tuning long-distance shots with the wind system.
Center Point – 0
1st Ring – 3
2nd Ring – 6
3rd Ring – 9
Block – 10
Yellow Chart
This determines the mid-range shots inside the wind system.
Center Point – 0
1st Ring – 6
2nd Ring – 12
3rd Ring – 18
Block – 20
As such, there are double the values of the white wind chart and rings.
Green Chart
The use of green for wind shots is a short-range fine-tuning system.
Center Point – 0
1st Ring – 15
2nd Ring – 30
3rd Ring – 45
Block – 10
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!
