I find no difference with distance in any Wii Sports game.
I have played boxing just as competently about 1metre from the screen [nearly hitting it] as i have 4-5 metres.
@GreyAcumen, i agree golf is probably the most lacking in control sophistication and refinement... but if we are talking motion control only then basball is in fact the worst, with both batting and pitching the remote only registers that the remote has moved, and how quickly it accelerated... the buttons are needed to refine baseball controls.
Golf registers which way you swing [like tennis] but if you swing fast backward it can cause a lag when you swing forward. I find when driving/pitching it is best to swing back slow and hold the club [remote] in position for a second [like having to point up in bowling]. Then swinging, I have no problems this way at all.
With putting i know what you mean, i usually give only a slight backswing [few cm] before a flick forward for putting.
