Not sure how the smoothing is done, but it looks like when the transform updates the graphical object snaps to a wrong position or rotation and then smoothes into the correct one.
It's quite visible here with smoothing duration set to 1 second: https://i.gyazo.com/67547fec865f9b5d8c96e89256ecacfe.gif

I know we've got some PredictedObject changes incoming and I know I'm 2 versions behind, but my game is live so I don't want to just update willy-nilly - only if there are changes/improvements on this front.

Actually it looks like the transform doesn’t even change on the server (right) but it does on the client

#

Note how the transform to the left changes (at the same time the graphical object of the PO begins to do its jitter)
(sorry for the shaky footage - was holding my laptop up with one hand xD)

1 second smoothing seems extreme. This is for owning client?

the 1 second smoothing is only to make the problem much more visible for this thread. I had it at default 0.025s before, which just makes it look like a quick spasm/jitter 🙂
This happens on clients

This is the same golf game?

Yup

#

Fairly sure this issue doesn't relate to the other one, though

Btw these are "pure" PredictedObjects in that I have no code that modifies their position - they are simply "dumb" rigidbodies
