Why is DS laggy on my wii?

When I try to do DS on my 1.1/1.2 version of the game, I can get the glitch, but there are tremendous amounts of lag coming from the game itself during my shot once it gets close to the water. I have two copies of the game and 2 separate wiis. I have switched the disks, switched wiis, and nothing. both do the same. I’ve seen other runs but theirs is normal. These are major time losses when I speedrun, so I wanted to know if this is a problem with my wiis/disks or if this is a known thing that happens with a normal wii and 1.1.

Does it get close to the water but never touches? Can you hear the crowd? If so is it before or after the lag?

So it lags before it touches the water, so I wait a long time before it hits the water. I can hear the crowd normally, usually after the lag.

That's normal for 1.1 and 1.2

Yeah. I think you are messing up your timing with the reconnect. Try doing it earlier than you think

I have had the same issues with my DS shots being laggy. Especially on hole 6 when the ball rolls into the water on the 2nd DS. Maybe hitting the grass before the ball hits water is an issue too?

Ok thanks for the advice! I’ll try retiming my ds.

There's also my tutorial in the guides section of this page if that helps
