Wow, I'm amazed that you tried to pull a top spin on an swing this powerful. I'd be too scared to try anything but a backspin. Good job!

Check out my hot shot reel for Hot Shots Golf on Vita
I'm not good at much. I've been making music and playing piano for more than 30 years, so I'd like to think I'm okay at that. And not to toot my own horn, but I know my way around a kitchen. But beyond these things I'm near worthless. I'm especially bad at videogames, which always has me wondering how I landed this job. Well, I'm good at golf games, and I think this has a lot to do with my unabashed love for them. I'm truly in love with upcoming PlayStation Vita game Hot Shots Golf: World Invitational. I've been playing the Japanese version, Minna no Golf 6, for the past couple of months, and have made good use of the game's shot recording function to store my best moves during this time. Today I've created a short video to show off some of my better shots. Stick around for the last Eagle chip-in. I can't wait to take the US version of this game online and dominate the leaderboards. Come at me, bro. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Hot Shots looks great, I had a chance to try it out at the Vita Hill event and it looks nice on the sharp screen and is always fun to play. On another note, the mental image from me misreading the header was unpleasant. Do not tempt me away from "Virtua Tennis". I can not Spend all my money on sports games where woman take the lead! HSG is the only reason I thought about getting a Vita at launch since the rest of the launch lineup is pretty sucky. Then I recalled I should just stick to HSG 1 & 2 on my PSP. @Dale
