Club Path (Tee to Green)

• Definition

  • The in-to-out or out-to-in movement of the club head’s geometric center at the time of maximum compression. That is, Club Path is the direction the club head is moving (right or left) at impact and is measured relative to the target line.

• The Use of Club Path
  • Club Path is fundamental for understanding the swing and how different ball flights are produced. It helps in analyzing shot shapes, as an in-to-out path typically produces a right-to-left curve (draw for a right-handed golfer) and vice versa.
  • On Trackman, Club Path is displayed as a positive or negative number, where a positive number (+) indicates a Club Path to the right of the target line and a negative number (-) indicates a Club Path to the left.
  • Players can use this knowledge to make adjustments to achieve the desired ball flight and increase accuracy, consistency etc.
