CLUB PATH is a horizontal (left-right) angle at which the the club head is moving at impact.
This information tells us in which direction the sweet spot of the clubface is moving.
3 possibilities are: - out to in
- in to out
- straight to target.

FACE ANGLE is the angle of the part of the club that makes contact with a ball and influences initial direction of the ball flight.
This information tells us where the club face was aiming during impact, relative to the target line or to the club path.
3 possibilities are: - open (pointing right)
- straight
- closed (pointing left).

SWING PLANE (vertical swing plane) is a measure of how vertical the swing is.
This information tells us how steep or flat our swing was (relatively to the ground).
A good starting reference point is 60 degrees for 6/7 iron.

SWING DIRECTION (Horizontal swing plane) is a direction of swing from the lowest point at impact.
In order to hit a straight shot, swing direction must be:
- left (inside) for irons
- right (outside) for woods.

- right (outside) for woods.
ANGLE OF ATTACK is a vertical angle at which the club head is moving at impact.
- Positive angle of attack means hitting up on the ball.
(recommended for woods and driver shots)
- Negative angle of attack means hitting down on the ball.
(recommended for irons)
- Positive angle of attack means hitting up on the ball.
(recommended for woods and driver shots)
- Negative angle of attack means hitting down on the ball.

SPIN RATE means how many times the ball rotates (backwards) around an axis when leaving the club face.It is measured in rotations per minute.
- more lofted clubs will produce more spin
- less lofted clubs will produce less spin
SPIN AXIS tilt tells us to which side the ball leans after it is
struck.
- R means the axis tilted to the right and produces fade/slice shots
- L means the axis tilted to the left and produces draw/hook shots
- more lofted clubs will produce more spin
- less lofted clubs will produce less spin
