Loyalty Bonuses

Is there a list of the bonuses that you get for loyalty along with how to use them?  I earned the power adjustment ability and didn't know how to use it for another two rounds when the random pre-game tip came up.

Re: Loyalty Bonuses

I haven't tried the power adjustment yet. Can someone explain how to do that?

Hmmm...  I haven't seen "power adjustment ability" yet...  Are you sure it's not called "power mode increase" or something else?  If it is power adjustment ability, what does it exactly do?

Re: Loyalty Bonuses

When you get loyalty level 2, you get power fine-tuning. You can then hit Triangle (increase 1% unless already 100%) or Circle (decrease 1%) instead of X when you set the impact. I don't know if there's a list, but I know they include: more power shots (just about every other level), more outfit colors (I think the last when you MAX out: level "13"), special shots (rising, homing, and spiral), upgraded clubs (level 7 for A/Elite clubs and level 11 for S/Special clubs), and the ability to max out the power (within the given range) when you have perfect impact (level 12, I think). Feel free to correct me. So, my personal opinion is that level 2 (power fine-tuning) and levels 7 and 11 (upgraded clubs) are the ones to work toward.

 

By the way, once you've beaten a challenge, you seem to get less loyalty when you replay it. So plan around that by getting your favorite characters up to 7 or 11, then moving on to level up others. You can always get loyalty online and re-playing challenges, especially the VS matches. Beating the top characters (like Anya) on the hardest courses (you can actually choose what course to play them) will net you good increases to loyalty everytime, particularly if you get a "called game" (3 strokes up before hole 8) on them. Basically, you get more loyalty for playing the harder courses (online or offline) and better competition (e.g., Platinum) when offline.

Not seen that before.  What's a spiral shot?  Seen rising and homing.

 

Many thanks.

Spiral shot if if you hit the pin on a super side spin shot it will 'spiral' around the flag before going in

Re: Loyalty Bonuses

I could have sworn that I saw something like a backdoor shot when I reached level 3 or 4, but I accidently hit X when the screen came up.  Why isn't there a list or even a mention of them in the manual or on the web site?

Re: Loyalty Bonuses

As far as I am aware:

 

Homing: hit with super-backspin - if you hit the pin the ball will rebound and spin back toward the hole (may continue to strike the pin until it actually goes in the hole)

Raising: hit with super-topspin - if you hit the pin the ball will spin up the flag pole then back down and into the hole.

Spiral: hit with super-sidespin - if you strike the pin the ball will rebound and then spiral around the hole until it goes in.

Backdoor: the greater the backdoor percentage, the more likely a putt will drop in if it runs around the rim of the cup.

Re: Loyalty Bonuses

Noobs, that looks exactly right. Everyone should keep in mind, however, that these special shots are not automatic. You can hit the pin with one of these and it still not go in. I did get a homing hole-in-one online, and it was sweet.

 

Oh, and you get certain online lobby character parts/costumes the first time you pull them off (as well as other shots). My homing ace netted me a police outfit (homing) and the witch outfit (hole in one) in one fell swoop. The motorcycle comes with a double-eagle (yet to get one of those). I've had a rising shot and flag ball shot, but can't remember the prizes for those. Oh, wait, just found them on GameFAQs (baseball and kimono outfits). Roughdawg has a very nice FAQ there. I think Didikong has pointed it out before.
