Full Swing:


Club Speed

The linear speed of the club head’s geometric center just prior to first contact with the golf ball. For more information, check out our blog post about club speed.

Attack Angle

The up or down movement of the club head’s geometric center at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about attack angle.

Dynamic Loft

The vertical angle of the club face at the center-point of contact between the club and ball at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about dynamic loft.

Club path

The in-to-out or out-to-in movement of the club head’s geometric center at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about club path.

Face Angle

The direction the club face is pointing at the center-point of contact between the club and ball at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about face angle.

Face to Path

The angle difference between the reported face angle and club path. For more information, check out our blog post about face to path.

Spin Loft

The angle between the direction of the club head’s movement and the club face’s orientation at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about spin loft.

Swing Plane

The vertical angle between the plane created by the club head’s geometric center movement and the horizon. For more information, check out our blog post about swing plane.

Swing Direction

The angle between the base of the plane created by the club head’s geometric center movement and the target line. For more information, check out our blog post about swing direction.

Low Point

Distance from the club head’s geometric center to the lowest point on the swing arc at the time of maximum compression. For more information, check out our blog post about low point.

Impact Height

The vertical impact location distance relative to the center of the face.

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

The vertical angle the golf ball takes off at relative to the horizon and measured immediately after separation from the club face. For more information, check out our blog post about 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

The speed the club head is traveling immediately prior to impact.

Backswing Time

The time the club head is traveling away from the ball.

Stroke Length

The distance the club head is pulled back from the ball in the backswing.

Forward Swing Time

The time the club head is traveling towards the ball until impact.

Tempo

The Backswing time divided by the Forward swing time.

Dynamic Lie

The angle of the shaft relative to the waterline at impact.

Launch Direction

The angle the ball starts right or left in relation to the target line.

Ball Speed

Initial ball speed immediately after separation from the putter face.

Skid Distance

The distance the ball is bouncing/sliding until it starts to roll.

Roll Speed

Speed at the point where the ball starts to roll.

Speed Drop

The percentage drop in speed from Ball Speed to Roll Speed.


Roll %
