Here's another comparison:
Settings:

Ball flight is defined as time from contact to the ball until distance text overlay appears.
Data:
Console No A+B: 6.717 s Console A+B: 5.184 s Emulator A+B (Retroarch Mupen64Plus-Next OpenGL 2.0 commit: 0df37ed): 2.600s
Analysis:
Emulator shows substantially reduced ball flight time while holding the A and B buttons. A+B on console does not show substantial speedup here until the ball makes contact with the ground. The ball in Console A+B is beyond the creek when Console No A+B first reaches the creek, although it is unclear if this is due to the wind difference of 4 MPH.
Precursory visual analysis of other shots, not shown in the video, reveals that the ball flight difference with emulator is most pronounced with irons and wedges, much less pronounced with woods, and virtually identical with putts. Ball altitude is a major factor.
