Golf Shot Data Metrics
- Ball Speed – The speed of the ball immediately after impact.
- Club Speed – The speed of the clubhead just before impact.
- Smash Factor – The ratio of ball speed to club speed, measuring the efficiency of energy transfer from the club to the ball.
- Total Spin – The total amount of spin on the ball immediately after impact, measured in revolutions per minute (RPM).
- Spin Axis – The tilt angle of the ball’s spin, determining its curvature in flight (measured in degrees).
- Backspin – The vertical rotation of the ball, measured in RPM.
- Sidespin – The horizontal rotation of the ball, measured in RPM.
- Face Angle (Face to Target) – The direction the clubface is pointing relative to the target at impact (measured in degrees).
- Club Path – The direction the clubhead is moving at impact, indicating an in-to-out or out-to-in path (measured in degrees).
- Face to Path – The difference between the clubface angle and the club path at impact, influencing shot shape (measured in degrees).
- Angle of Attack – The upward or downward direction of the clubhead at impact, affecting launch and spin.
- Static Loft – The fixed loft angle of a golf club, as specified by its design.
- Dynamic Loft – The actual loft angle of the clubface at impact, influenced by the golfer’s swing.
- Spin Loft – The difference between dynamic loft and angle of attack, directly affecting spin rate.
- Lie Angle – The angle between the club’s sole and the ground at impact, determining whether the toe is up or down.
- Apex – The highest point of the ball’s trajectory during flight.
- Descent Angle – The angle at which the ball approaches the ground, affecting stopping power on landing.
