Target Practice (2)

Learn how to master the Target Practice (2) in Nintendo Switch Sports! Get tips on aiming, wind adjustment, and scoring to achieve Platinum.

Alright, let's get you set up for Target Practice (2) in Nintendo Switch Sports. This one's all about using the driver to hit a distant target. You'll be aiming for those high scores to snag Platinum, Gold, Silver, or Bronze medals. The scores needed are: Platinum - 800, Gold - 625, Silver - 405, and Bronze - 205.

The main goal here is to hit the target on the far island with your driver. There are two targets in front of you, but the one further away is your best bet because it offers more points. The scoring rings are 10 points on the outer edge, then 25, 50, and a sweet 100 points right in the center. Remember, it's where the ball lands that matters, not where it stops.

Now, let's talk aiming. With no wind, you'll want to aim for about three and a half dots of power. A good way to visualize this is to start pointing down and then push the aiming reticle up to just above your shoulder. Of course, you might find your own sweet spot with practice!

Important Note: Only your first two shots are free from wind. After that, wind is going to play a big role in how you aim. You'll need to adjust your shots significantly based on the horizontal wind speed. Here’s a general idea:

If the wind is blowing horizontally at 2 mps, you'll want to aim just slightly off-center. For a 10 mps wind, aim for the very edge of the target. If the wind is at 15 mps, aim halfway between the target's edge and the edge of the green. These are good starting points, but you'll really nail it down with more practice.

When the wind is blowing directly with you or against you (not sideways), it doesn't change things too much unless it's really strong. So, keep your power around three and a half dots until the wind hits 7 mps or more. Then, you'll need to adjust, but be careful not to overdo it, as too much power will throw off your shot and make you miss the target.
