THE DISTANCE THE BALL TRAVELS THROUGH THE AIR BEFORE TOUCHING THE GROUND.

What it means: How far your ball will travel in the air, the key baseline to use and adjust on-course based on conditions, to decide on your club selection.

What it means to you: Just like Tiger Woods, this may be the most important number to dial in for your club distance consistency on course.

TOTAL DISTANCE THE BALL TRAVELS AFTER IT COMES TO REST (CARRY PLUS ROLL).

What it means: After your ball has landed, how far it will roll before coming to rest.

What it means to you: Depending on spin, ground conditions and other factors, you can work to optimize ball-flight based on the shot you need for the situation.

THE AMOUNT OF REVOLUTIONS OF THE GOLF BALL GENERATED INSTANTLY AFTER IMPACT.

What It Means: The higher your spin rate, the more extreme the effect on the ball flight

What It Means to You: This is a significant factor in the flight, height, and rollout of your golf shot.

THE ANGLE YOUR CLUB FACE IS POINTED RIGHT OR LEFT OF THE TARGET LINE AT IMPACT

What It Means: This will affect where your ball flight will start directionally.

What It Means to You: Positive value means your club face is pointed right of the target line, negative value means your club face is pointed left of the target line.

THE DIFFERENCE OF FACE ANGLE MINUS CLUB PATH

What It Means: Is your club face “open” or “closed” to your path at impact

What It Means to You: Positive value means your club face is pointed to the right of the path and negative value means your club face is pointed to the left of the path.

THE AMOUNT THE CLUB PATH IS MOVING VERTICALLY UP OR DOWN TOWARDS THE BALL

What It Means: If you are “hitting up” on the ball, you will see positive attack angle. If you are “hitting down” on the ball you will see negative attack angle.

What It Means to You: More of a negative attack angle down is going to create more spin, more of a positive attack angle is going to create less spin.

THE SPEED OF THE GOLF BALL IMMEDIATELY AFTER IMPACT.

What it means: A key element to your distance is determined by ball speed, that is optimized by proper impact.

What it means to you: Create the most ball speed by a combination of club speed and proper impact to have the best result.

THE SPEED THE CLUB HEAD IS TRAVELING JUST PRIOR TO IMPACT.

What it means: The faster your club speed, the further potential for distance.

What it means to you: Work on gaining clubhead speed while maintaining control of your clubface to maximize your best possible result.

EFFICENCY RATIO CALCULATED FROM BALL SPEED DIVIDED BY CLUB HEAD SPEED.

What it means: A ratio showing how efficiently you’re transferring energy from club to ball.

What it means to you: On hitting your driver, 1.5 is a great goal.

THE INITIAL DIRECTION THE BALL STARTS LEFT OR RIGHT OF THE TARGET LINE

What It Means: A negative value means you are left of target, a positive value means you are starting right of target.

What It Means to You: If you “push the ball” right or “pull the ball” left and start your ball off-target, the larger the number, the further from the target line your ball will start

THE MAXIMUM HEIGHT THAT YOUR BALL REACHES DURING FLIGHT.

What it means: There are a variety of factors that lead to the maximum height your ball will reach, including ball speed, launch angle, attack angle and spin.

What it means to you: Depending on the shot shape you are trying to create, you will use this metric to help determine the optimal carrying & landing angle.

TOTAL LEFT-RIGHT HORIZONTAL DISTANCE FROM THE TARGET LINE WHEN IT TOUCHES THE GROUND

What It Means: The greater the distance, the further from your target that the ball has landed.

What It Means to You: Continue to shrink this number to have more accurate shots.
