I found this video incredibly helpful. No one deserves to get early access to this than you, you are my go to for anything walkabout mini golf. I saw the pre order thing the other day when I was playing and I was debating it. I didn't know that you could calibrate it so that it is further down, that cleared up my concerns. Will more than likely be preordering one
the Yerzo weighted golf club attachment is the best one i've found. its made of metal and has a threaded piece that tightens the remote in place very securely. the weights are adjustable too so its pretty damn good and feels great for all clubs in Golf+
Was so excited to get this in, got the pro swing golf 2.0 while I wait. It’s SO incredible how it feels in VR. They sent an email out recently an said the Walkabout models would start shipping early to mid August 🙌
Shame they only did a limited run, I recently got really into walkabout so much so I wanted to get one of the putters but they’re sold out and now only have pro swing. I’d have thought they’d take the page down for it now.
Thanks, great to get some real insight. I have shyed away from any kind of attachment apart some awful 3D printered one mainly because I love the grip to putt option.
Thanks for the review! i've been eagerly awaiting mine as I ordered on day 1. Looking forward to learning a slight variation on the skillset I already have/am working on! On a separate note, have you ever considered doing a series of videos on efficient play for the courses? I enjoy the hole in one videos, but don't attempt hole in ones most of the time as I prefer a more natural pace of game, where some of the holes in one require play that would not really fit in with a regular mini-golf round (I mostly play with my father who doesn't care about holes in one, and just prefers to improve his play overall). I have my own way of approaching most holes, but would be interested in seeing how other folks approach them as well during the average game.
So, the Grip-to-put says they're sold out and they now recommend the ProSwing Golf 2.0 setup. Have you used this, or done a review on it? I have the Quest 3 and the Q3 version looks a bit strange to me. Not sure how well it works...
It’s not too bad, you get used to bringing the controller part closer to you for that. Flying is a little more tricky, but I find that staying grounded helps the immersion anyway
Great job. I bought a different product, and didn't like it..... Sigh.... I guess this is gonna cost me money. Thank you for including the Golf Plus info.... I like that game a lot, but I see almost no talk about it.... Great Job Sir. Sadly, a lot of my friends I used to play with, don't play anymore... So I've kind of dropped out.... I golf irl, and putting was always my weakness.... so I had always hoped this would help my putting... but then a hurricane hit us, and all the courses & driving ranges were closed.... And in the meantime, I took up Pickleball.... sigh... so anyways, yeah, I've barely messed around with golf lately.... But, that has nothing to do with how great this video is, or how great all your videos are.... thank you.
I’d love to try pickleball but haven’t yet, looks like a lot of fun. Golf+ is hard to make content on for a few reasons, and I’ve often thought of branching out to it but it’ll be a lot of work. It’s a great full-swing experience, and I’ve almost accepted it permanently as a replacement for ‘real’ golf. Sad to hear you’ve dropped off playing, maybe you could find some new regulars on the discord?
Absolutely stellar content! Your consistent updates on the add-ons and game are always a home run. Exceptional work as always. Keep it up! Cheers. 🎉 #QualityContent #GamingCommunity
Hello there, I know you stated they were planning an attachment for the PSVR. Did they only give a round about time frame later this year or was there a more definitive date?
I have it, but I don't find it fun because I have to reach my controller after every hit to teleport to my ball. If you know how to stop this, that would be great
I had one of their attachments before they released the weight and grip to putt ability. Unfortunately the screw that attached the shaft to the cup kept coming loose and eventually broke through the cup base almost causing my controller to go flying. I found the grip to not be a real life golf grip, it's not rubber and they used to claim it was very grippy and repelled hand sweat, which wasn't true. I did like the twist lock system, it worked really well. But the hollow plastic shaft made it all too light and hard for the screw to hold. They made some modifications later on but I ended up getting my money back, minus shipping of course which kind of sucked. I'm not convinced their weight system helps that much as the center of gravity with it is more in the center than at the end, while a real golf club center of gravity is at the end. I do think their grip to putt attachment for it is a great idea but not a fan of so much 3D printed material because it eventually breaks. I've had two of my four 3D printed Deadeye attachments break and really liked them with the steal shafts but the 3D printing is always the weak point. But the controller wiggle you talk about with the Deadeye is easy to fix by putting a rubber band around the controller grip or foam inside the cup and the problem is solved. Then I tried the RM Designs v2 and really liked it even though it's 3D printed however it doesn't use a cup design and I liked how the weight was at the very end, there is no way the 3D printed controller holder can break. But now my favorite is the Yezro 90 degree attachment because it's all metal and perfectly weighted.
Inner princess please help! I have to sit to play walkabout and all helpful videos are for those who can stand. I can't hold controller with 2 hands,etc. Can you help?
Sure, happy to help if I can. If you are playing sat down and single handed, it might be best to play a backhand style shot facing forwards, is that how you play?
Is the elephant in the room here the inaccessibility of the other buttons for movement? I can't imagine you use the second controller in the other hand for movement because that same hand is presumably being used for two-handed putting with the putter attachment.
I think I got used to lifting the controller up to me between shots, but when you’re new to that it does feel a bit inconvenient. Flying is definitely harder
I would _much_ rather just turn off grip to putt and have that lever push the main trigger. I don't know how I could use this attachment when I pull that trigger ten times per minute...
I agree about the trigger. I think when it was first launched there was talk of a button functionality swap, not sure if that’s still a potential future mod
There is no way only the initial impact is measured. My grandma angles the club at least 15 degrees away from the angle the ball goes. As she does irl, she pushes the ball along a small length of the club adjusting its angle before it's left contact. Her ball almost never goes at the same angle her club is pointing due to this. Both in-game and irl. The game applies force to the ball until the ball is no longer in contact with the club. It is simple not possible to recreate my grandmas putting style otherwise.
How long before PSVR2 is released? I know it will take a complete design overhaul, due to its shape. Nice stats and with diagrams, professional even and true. As is ppl adjusting weights on actual golf clubs for the same reasoning. The weight placement with the grip wud add to the immersion for sure and I see it as gud purchase, personally.
Looks interesting! Can you offer an opinion on how it works one-handed? Maybe it's just me, but when I need a strong swing I prefer a one-handed polo type swing (bad shoulder).
It’s weighty (around 500g fully loaded) but very well balanced. The grip has enough friction to protect whatever is in your room from accidental slippage. Depends if you feel the increased pendulum effect would help a swing like that, or if you’d miss the sudden adjustment capability of a light controller
Hi, Me and a friend have bought the putter from Hello Real, and have both bought and have the Quest 3. Loads of issues here as the tracking does not work on the 3 as it should do. Hello Real have said that they are aware of the tracking issue and still label it Quest 3 compatible when it is clearly not. We both follow your channel especially when new courses have come out and find your TH-cam channel is our first port of call to get the latest from the developers Mighty Coconut. My question to you, do you know if the tracking is anything to do with the game or just the controllers not working properly on this game. Even without the putter attachment, the controllers still misbehave on tracking. Its very annoying as we both have played this game from the start and still enjoy it today. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there. I’ve also got the Q3 and I’m experiencing similar issues. The attachment accepts the controller but the tracking has problems. It doesn’t appear to be game specific as it also occurs in Golf+ for me. It seems at least partially connected to the fact that the Q3 uses hand tracking to support sensors on the controller when tracking controller movement. Therefore when it picks up hands on the grip, and the controller further down, it gets a mixed reading. I have found it is improved slightly by turning off hand tracking, but notice that it still tries to follow my hand if I move it away from the grip and controller. I think a bigger fix from Meta will be needed to solve this one
I think it’s cool, but hard to justify. Walkabout already feels so good without a putter attachment. I’ll also get annoyed really fast when I want to fly around or hit the pause menu and have to turn around my whole putter.
Heya! Thanks for the review. Do you know if it's going to be compatible with upcoming Quest 3 controllers or if they'll sell a separate adapter for it when it comes out?
If you buy this, if you decide to do the payment plan, make sure its truly selected. Mine glitched out on the site, and got charged the full amount in one go. I believe this is an issue with the site itself, not the actual product.
For what its worth, I was able to avoid shipping by adding 2 inexpensive things to my cart (which also happened to be on sale) and when u first visit the website they give u a 15% off coupon that stacks with sales and then ultimately gave me free shipping. I wouldn't have done it if I didn't do this but I got a screaming deal all said and done
I wasn’t sure an adaptor was going to work for me in VR after my experience with the DeadEye version, but this really impressed me. I should have know WMG wouldn’t put their name to anything if it was quality approved
Overkill. The quest controllers are perfectly fine as they are. I understand the concept for a more realistic feel, BUT it's absolutely unnecessary. I prefer the path of simplicity & the Quest controllers offer that simplicity/balance.

I'm trying to get my hands on the limited edition Walkabout putter! I missed the boat a year ago.
I Got a Yogos putter handle, still have to push the buttons but, I like it!!! It has made my putting way
Thank you for the super insightful review and testing! 🙌🙌🙌
Thank you for your video. I'm excited to receive mine, pre-ordered it first day. Looking forward to it. Great review thank you.
I love all of your reviews and holes in one. Thanks for all you do😊

how is it?
Great review, thanks. I hope that my PSVR2 limited edition clubs will show up sooner rather than later.
Im really hesitant to use kne kf these i think ill smack a wall or table or something

I hope they release one for the meta quest 2! And I'm curious how you move around when not using the putter.
Fantastic and detailed review that will help many for sure 👏
Cheers! Did you get one?
I ordered one, but how awkward is it to use the controller buttons?
It’s not too bad, you get used to bringing the controller part closer to you for that. Flying is a little more tricky, but I find that staying grounded helps the immersion anyway
I nearly bought this for PSVR2 but then remembered that I took off my lanyard straps a long time ago and likely threw them away
Great job.

Hello there, I know you stated they were planning an attachment for the PSVR. Did they only give a round about time frame later this year or was there a more definitive date?
The most detail I have is 'late Summer 2023' so hopefully won't be more than a few months away, hope that helps
Thanks for the interest! We are aiming to open up for players to pre-order in a week! And it won't be few months away before we ship :)
I have it, but I don't find it fun because I have to reach my controller after every hit to teleport to my ball. If you know how to stop this, that would be great
Hopefully this is something they could look at in the future, but for now I've just got used to lifting the club up after playing my shot
Has anyone tried it with the Pico 4?
so how are things 8 months in. Also thanks for all the videos, very helpful

Only problem is I threw away all my lanyard straps for all my VR controllers.😢
I never use mine but I kept them just in case. I think you might be able to order extras
I think it’s cool, but hard to justify. Walkabout already feels so good without a putter attachment. I’ll also get annoyed really fast when I want to fly around or hit the pause menu and have to turn around my whole putter.

Heya! Thanks for the review. Do you know if it's going to be compatible with upcoming Quest 3 controllers or if they'll sell a separate adapter for it when it comes out?
I’m not sure yet, I guess it depends on the controller shape, but the end grip is meant to be swappable as far as I’m aware
I dunno. You still have to grab the controller to move and fly. So it seems like adding a nuisance factor to me.
Flying becomes a bit harder, but grabbing for trigger teleporting isn’t too inconvenient
If you buy this, if you decide to do the payment plan, make sure its truly selected. Mine glitched out on the site, and got charged the full amount in one go. I believe this is an issue with the site itself, not the actual product.

Unfortunate for us with valve index controllers. But great vid regardless.
A roll of duct tape should solve that

Waiting for the PSVR2 version.
AMVR attachment the far far better Option!
80$ + 😅
Nice...but it's $60. I am a big fan of Walkabout Golf just not that big of a fan. Cheers for the video though.
If you happen to play any other golf games too (those with full swing capabilities) it really comes into its own there and earns its price tag
ouch shipping 😳
Despite my concerns of the kids breaking something this I'm buying for myself! Ha. Oh wait no psvr2 yet. Ahhhh rats.
Maybe more concerned about breaking the kids with this thing if you also play a full swing golf game
I hate to say anything negative bc I enjoy all of your videos so much, but I had to click off bc the music was so loud and annoying. Just an FYI...
Thanks for the feedback, always keen to make it better for the viewer so I’ll take this on board

Wow this comment was very helpful. Thank you
Have to disagree. A good attachment makes a HUGE difference.
