Back to Pangya

After MIA for like a year, I recently come back to Pangya. Nothing much has changed since I left, I think. Come back for fun to pass time. At the start super rusty, cannot hit py, play like a uber noob but now getting the hang of it.

AND so, i decided to come and have a look at this blog with all the formulas. Now if you're reading this, I shall tell you. This formulas are a VERY ROUGH guide in aiming bs. Personally, I modified those formulas for better accuracy. How i modify? Based on experience and other ppl's blog(Non-S'porean). And if you are trying to get a super good record from these formulas, i'll tell you its impossible.

All hope is not lost, the 6i Beam Impact formula still works great IMO but requires some modification based to exp. You're find out soon enough if u keep practising.

If possible, I'll update the formulas and calculation to what im using now, which is more accurate IMO. BUT only if i have time and feel like it. The new formulas are harder to understand and it is only bound to bring more confusion. Under high demand maybe i'll update it asap. But for now, seems like not many ppl in Pangya seeks perfection, i'll put it on hold. If you really wanna learn, you can always PM me online, or find other experienced players to teach you.


PS. I don't understand half the formulas I wrote myself now. Imagine how different it can be in the calculations.

Quit Pangya liao

No specific reasons, kinda bored of the game. I may still login and play a few games sometimes. Hope pangyasea ppl can improve.

Cheers.

Please refer to the most Updated Tutorial.

I have deleted the old tutorial and old examples. Please refer to the latest one. If there are any errors or qns, pls point out for me, thx

Answering all questions, (or some of them)

where got enough time to calculate in the game?
calculations are easy once u get the hang of it.

hi elfen, just gotta couple of questions.
for power computation, u said to add windpower * cos (angle). this angle, is it taken from the x axis, or the y axis? this would help me clarify things, thanks!

Sorry I missed that out, all my angles are with respect to the north, meaning, North = 0°, East and West = 90°

umm hi elfen.. ur notes are useful but i dun understand 1 part.. u said..

If wind is against you, add. If wind is in favour of you, subtract.Eg. 3m 45° wind against you:Add 3cos45 = 2.12

but.. why >> u use sin? Wind: 3sin40° * 1.125 * [1 - (1.68/100)] * [1 - (242-230)/100] = 1.88 squares rightand i calculated .. it's not 1.88 =/ if use sin, all multiply together is 1.928. if use cos, all multiply together is 2.236929442..._. i dun understand >.<

It is 1.88, calculate properly. U need to understand trigo. U use sin for angle calculations, cos for power calculation.

Hackers impersonating me.

Recently, damn hackers created an account called eLfeNs and chatted with my nick. Please disregard what they say using my nick.

I use calculator, but i dont hack.

[Updated] Back Spin Tutorial. Corrected ver.

Requirement:
1. Scientific calculator
2. Power 20 (1W - 240y) and above
3. Spin 6 or 7.

Tutorial:

North, South = 0° , East, West = 90°

Calculation of Power

1. Club.
1W - 20
2W - 16
3w - 12

Depending on the club you use, add the above value to the distance of hole from the ball.

2. Wind.

If wind is against you, add. If wind is in favour of you, subtract.
Eg. 3m 45° wind against you:
Add 3cos45 = 2.12

3. Hole Height.

Add the hole height to your calculation.

4. Combine everything and divide the value you get over your maximum power * 100 to get the % power required.

Calculation of Angle

1. Club, Wind, Power and Hole Height

1W - 1.125
2W - 1.195
3W - 1.264

Multiply the respective value to the horizontal component of the wind and the percentage of power needed to get the no. of squares left/right of hole.

Hole Height: Multiply 1 - (Hole Height/100) to the above value.
Eg. 1W 91% 2m horizontal(90°) wind Hole Height -3.14m: 1.125 * 2 * 91% = 2.0475 = 2.05
2.05 * 1 - (-3.14/100) = 2.05 * 1.03 = 2.11

Power: Multiply 1 - (Max power - Power required)/100 to the above value.
Eg. Power needed to bs = 230y and max power is 242y. Multiply 1 - (242-230)/100 = 0.88 to the value.

2. Ball slope

The ball slope is the inclination of fairway where the ball is positioned. It is shown by the green line across the golf ball on the bottom left hand side of the screen with '100%' circling around.
Reading the ball slope - For every break in the green line across the ball, multiply it by 0.2. EG. There are 3 breaks and the line is slanting towards the left, the ball will land approximately 0.6 squares towards the left of where u are aiming. So yo have to move right by 0.6 squares to counter it.
But its so hard to count the number of breaks. I squint my eyes at the ball and can't even make out how many breaks there are. How?
To read the breaks, press spacebar to charge your power. The green line will be outlined by bold black lines. You can then count the number of breaks easily.

In this case, there are 7 breaks, so u need to move 7 * 0.2 = 1.4 cells left to correct for the slope

3. Green slope

Ahh..this is usually based on experienced.
For a rough guide, if the dot on the green is on the extreme ends of the boxes, the green slope is 1. If the dot is slightly off centre, the green slope is approximately 0.1-0.2.
Eg. Dot on extreme right of box -> ball will bounce right when it hits the green. Therefore, you have to shift left by 1.5 square to counter the deflection.

4. Combine everything to get the correct number of squares from the hole.

Example:

Scenario:
Distance from hole: 211y
Wind: 3m, 40° in favour of direction towards the left, i.e northwest.
Hole Height: 1.68m
Ball slope: 3 breaks with green line slanting towards right.Green slope: 0.5squares towards the right.Club: 1W 242y

Power

Power needed = 211 + 20 + 1.68 - 3cos40° = 230y
Power % = 230 / 242 *100 = 95.1%

Angle

Wind: 3sin40° * 1.125 * [1 - (1.68/100)] * [1 - (242-230)/100] = 1.88 squares right
Ball slope: 0.6 squares left
Green slope: 0.5 squares left
Combining: Angle = 1.88 - 0.6 - 0.5 = 0.78 squares right.

Overall: Aim 0.78 squares right of hole and hit a power of 95.1%.

Full Tutorial on how to HIO Hole 2 of BL using Backspin

Learn from these examples. Just follow step by step.

Example 1:
Distance of Hole: 224y
Hole height: -3.41m
Wind: 9m, 90°
Ball slope: Nil
Green slope: 0.4 right
Club: 242y

Power:
224 + 18 - 3.41 * 0.8 = 239.3
Power needed = 98.8% = 99%

Angle
9sin90° * 1.125 * [1 - (-3.14/100)] + 0.4 = 9 * 1.125 * 1.0314 + 0.4 = 10.44 + 0.4 = 10.84

Example 2:
Distance of Hole: 228y
Hole Height: -3.65m
Wind: 3m, 50° in favour.
Ball slope: Nil
Green slope: 0.6 right
Club: 244y

Power:
228 + 18 - 3.65 * 0.8 + (-3cos50° * 1.125)= 240.8
Power needed = 240.8/244 = 98.7% = 99%

Angle
3sin50° * 1.125 * [1 - (-3.65/100)] + 0.6 = 2.298 * 1.125 * 1.0365 + 0.6 = 2.68 + 0.6 = 3.28

Hole Height Issues

I received feedback that it is hard to understand the calculation part regarding hole height.

Basically, the higher the hole, the less deflection there is caused by the wind and vice versa.

Thus, the formula 1 - [Hole Height/100] is used.

Example 1: Hole height = -3.14m (In BL hole 2, 224y hole)

You need to multiply an additional: 1 - [(-3.14)/100] = 1 + 0.0314 = 1.0314

Example 2: Hole Height = 5.42m (In BM hole 10)

Apply the formula: 1 - (5.42/100) = 1 - 0.0542 = 0.9458

Hope this helps.

6i Beam Impact

6i Beam Impact Tutorial

Requirements:

Good mental sum or a scientific calculator

Good accuracy in power


In this tutorial, I take wind 0° as the vertical, 90° as horizontal.


To begin with, 6i beam impact can be calculated based on a simple formula.

The formulas provided will be accurate from a dist of 8 - 38 yards.

There are basically 4 factors to consider in 6i Beam Impact:


-Distance from hole & Terrain

-Hole Height

-Wind


Distance from Hole

For every distance, there is a slight change in the formula, I will break it down into 2 parts:

From 8 - 25y: Multiply 1.2 to the distance from hole.

From 25 - 38y: Multiply 1.25

For 40y and above: Multiply 1.4 (This is just a rough estimate and to beam at 40y and above is not that easy.)


Terrain

Multiply 100/(Terrain percentage) to the distance from hole. i.e. if the ball is on rough, multiply 100/95 to distance from hole


Hole Height

If the hole height is

-between +0.3m and -0.3m, the changes can be consider negligible.

-from +0.3m - +0.5m, add the hole height to the power needed

-from +0.6m - +1.0m, add the hole height and an additional 0.5 to the power needed

-from +1.2m - +1.5m, add the hole height and an additional 0.7 to the power needed


Wind

THe further the distance from hole, the more wind effect there is. In this case, I take it that the wind is directly against you.

From 8-10y, add Wind Strength(WS) / 6 to the power needed

From 10 - 14y, add WS / 4.5 to the power needed

From 14 - 25y, add WS / 3.5 to the power needed

From 25 - 38y, add WS / 3 to the power needed



Combining all, the average equation looks like this:

1.2 * Distance from hole * 100/100 + hole height + WS / 3.5

I know this looks confusing so I've included examples.


Example 1:

Distance from hole: 15y

Terrain: 100%

Wind: 1m 0° against you

Hole Height: 0m

Calculation:

1.2 * 15 + 1 / 3.5 + 0 = 18 + 0.286 = 18.286y

Hence, percentage power needed = 18.286y / 140 * 100 = 13.06%

Please note that if you shoot 13.1% or 13%, you will miss your beam impact. As I mentioned, you need accuracy in power.


Example 2:

Distance of hole: 28y

Terrain: 95%

Wind: 7m 40° against you

Hole Height: 1.12m

Calculation:

1.25 * 28 * 100/95 + 7cos40° / 3 + 1.12 + 0.5 = 36.8 + 5.36 / 3 + 1.62 = 36.8 + 1.79 + 1.62 = 40.21

Percentage Power = 40.21 / 140 * 100 = 28.72%

The angle at which you should aim will be up to your own estimation. There is no formula for that.


That's it for the beam impact tutorial. Happy beaming =)
