I had HSG 3, but have not played in awhile. I recently purchased HSG Fore, but cant remember how to activate extra power when hitting ball (fire). Can anyone out there refresh my memory? It would be appreciated.

Extra power or the fire that appears when the ball spins? Extra power is... well it was square for HSG3. To put a fire spin on the ball is to hold up or down and then hold it as you do your whole swing. To do the blue fire spin you press the opposite direction for the first button press to determine the power, and then press the button that you wanted to spin when the meter heads back to the right (like if you wanted to do a super backspin, you'd first press up and then hit X to determine the power and then press and hold down for the final part of the swing). I hope this answered your question.

well not quite... fire occurs when you use a power shot (square) and simply hit it at 100% power with perfect impact. To get blue fire you use a "full" shot (square twice) and hit it 100% power with perfect impact.
