Impact Offset
The horizontal impact location distance relative to the center of the face.
Dynamic Lie
The angle of the lower portion of the shaft relative to the waterline at impact.
Ball Speed
The speed of the golf ball’s center of gravity immediately after separation from the club face. For more information, check out our blog post about ball speed.
Smash Factor
The ratio between the measured ball speed and measured club speed. For more information, check out our blog post about smash factor.
Launch Angle

Spin Rate
The rate of rotation of the golf ball about the imaginary line the golf ball rotates around measured immediately after separation from the club face. For more information, check out our blog post about spin rate.
Launch Direction
The horizontal angle the golf ball takes off at relative to the target line and measured immediately after separation from the club face. For more information, check out our blog post about launch direction.
Spin Axis
The angle relative to the horizon of the imaginary line that the golf ball rotates around and is measured after separation from the club face. For more information, check out our blog post about spin axis.
Apex Height
The maximum height or apex of the trajectory measured relative to the elevation at which the golf ball was launched. For more information, check out our blog post about apex height.
Curve
The horizontal side movement perpendicular from the launch direction to carry side.
Landing Angle
The angle the golf ball lands at relative to the horizon and at a point that has the same elevation as where it was launched.
Carry
The straight-line distance between where the golf ball was launched from and where it crosses a point that has the same elevation. For more information, check out our blog post about carry.
Side
The perpendicular distance between the target line and where the trajectory crosses a point that has the same elevation as where the golf ball was launched.
Total
The straight-line distance between where the golf ball was launched from and its calculated resting position.
Side Total
The perpendicular distance between the target line and the golf ball’s calculated resting position.
Putting:
Club Speed
