Club Path
The Launch Direction of a golf shot is defined by Trackman® as the horizontal direction of movement of the golf ball’s center of gravity immediately after leaving the club face. It is typically...
Launch Angle
Launch Angle is the angle measured in degrees at which the ball leaves the club face, relative to the ground. This is not the trajectory or the angle to the peak trajectory. It is measured in the...
Peak Height
Peak Height, or the apex of a golf ball's trajectory, is the highest point reached by a golf ball during its Flight. Peak Height will vary greatly based on individual players' launch conditions. The...
Launch Conditions
Launch Conditions are the variables that determine the initial trajectory of a golf ball and include Ball Speed, Launch Angle, Launch Direction and Spin Rate. Modern radar-based and camera-based...
Angle of Attack
TrackMan® defines Angle of Attack as the vertical direction of the club head’s geometric center movement at the time of maximum compression of the golf ball. Shots hit off the ground typically require...
Face Angle
Face Angle is the horizontal direction in which the club face points at impact. Face angle is expressed in terms of degrees right or left of the target line. Club path influences the initial direction...
Swing Plane
According to TrackMan®, Swing Plane is the vertical angle between the ground and the orbit that the club head travels on during the bottom portion of the swing arc. Swing plane is similar to what golf...
Launch Direction
Launch Direction is the initial horizontal direction the ball starts relative to the intended target line. It’s measured in the first few inches of flight, before any aerodynamic or environmental...
