Ever since the update pokéball throws are shorter than usual

Question

Has anybody noticed that it takes slightly more force to get the same distance on pokéball throws since the update? My first pokéball throw is almost always short now because of muscle memory...

Haven't seen one since the update but Throh has been ridiculously far away since I started playing again last year. Harder to hit a great throw than a swinub

I thought it was just me, but I have also noticed this.

Wow I’m so glad I came across this. I missed like 10 throws on a my daily spawn Throh this morning and could not for the life of me realize why he felt so far away.

Man, I only just really settled in to the throwing mechanic on my new phone.

0.263.0? Seems the same to me. Gimmighoul is hard to get great/excellent on because of the really short distance, maybe they changed it because of that?

Yup 0.263.0-A-64. I wish someone from silph or a data miner could confirm this though since it is anecdotal but I'm nearly certain it was changed

I knew something was off when I was raiding Rayquaza. I didn't remember hitting excellents on it to be so difficult.

I've noticed that too. I've been using the one-handed mode on my phone to make it easier
