The green 2D billboard glow every time the ball strikes is an eyesore, I don’t think it’d look good even with soft clipping. A different approach is needed.

Yeah, not sure what's going on with that effect? House of Golf 1 (which was a rather nice-looking UE-based Switch game) had some similar green indicators when a high strike is hit (seems like you don't get that green box every time... but you hope you do when you get good) and other ball-trailing or ball-outlining effects, but the effect there had more of a starburst pattern to it and worked better than what's showing here. (YT compression may also be over-highlighting the effect, though the shape in general seems boxy and lacking in subtlety.) Maybe that can be cleaned up or rounded out, otherwise it looks nice and seems fun.
