Swing Metrics
Swing Speed
Swing speed is the speed of the club head when it hits the ball.
Swing Tempo
Swing tempo is the ratio of your backswing time to your
downswing time. A 3 to 1 ratio, or 3.0, is the ideal swing tempo
based on studies of professional golfers. You can achieve the
ideal 3.0 tempo using different swing timings, for example, 0.7
sec./0.23 sec. or 1.2 sec./0.4 sec. Each golfer may have a
unique swing tempo based on the golfer's ability and
experience.
• Backswing time À is the time from the start of the swing to
the top of your backswing.
• Downswing time Á is the time from the start of the
downswing to impact with the ball.
Face to Target
The face to target is the angle of your club face in relation to
your target path. The club path and face to target angles affect
the ball's flight.
• Open À indicates how far the club face is angled away from
you.
• Closed Á indicates how far the club face is angled toward
you.
NOTE: The target path is the direction in which the club face is
pointed at the start of the swing.
2 Device Pairing

Club Path
Club path is a measurement of your club's horizontal motion
when viewed from overhead. The club path and face to target
angles affect the ball’s flight.
• The in-out angle À indicates your club path is angled away
from you.
• The out-in angle Á indicates your club path is angled toward
you.
Shaft Lean at Address
Shaft lean at address is the forward À or backward Á angle at
which you are holding the club when at address, measured from
a 90-degree vertical angle.
Shaft Lean at Impact
The shaft lean at impact is the forward angle À or backward
angle Á at which you are holding the club when hitting the ball,
measured from a 90-degree vertical angle. The angle of shaft
lean determines the amount of dynamic loft in your swing.
Shaft Angle at Address
The shaft angle at address is the angle between the shaft and
the ground as measured from the center of the shaft while the
club is at address.
Shaft Angle at Impact
The shaft angle at impact is the angle between the shaft and the
ground as measured from the center of the shaft when the club
hits the ball.
Dynamic Loft
Dynamic loft is the loft angle of the club face at impact plus or
minus the loft offset determined by the shaft lean and club face
angle.
• If the club is angled backward À, the loft offset will be added
to the loft of your swing.
• If the club is angled forward Á, the loft offset will be
subtracted from the loft of your swing.
Ball Flight
The combination of your club path and the club face angle affect
the ball's flight. This illustration shows nine common club path
and club face angle combinations and their resulting flight paths.
You can improve the accuracy of your ball's flight path by
observing your recorded club path and club face angle and
adjusting your swing.
NOTE: The projected flight paths are most accurate when
striking the ball with the center of the club face.
