D Plane Tilt (Tee to Green)
- Definition
- D Plane Tilt is the tilt of the D Plane relative to the plumb line.
- D Plane Tilt is the expected spin axis disregarding any gear effect from off-center strike or other factors like ground contact of the club head during the collision with the ball, abnormal friction conditions etc.
- Thus, if face-to-path is zero, D Plane Tilt will be zero.
- The Use of D Plane Tilt
- D Plane Tilt is a useful parameter to look at how club conditions impact the Spin Axis of the ball.
- As D Plane Tilt disregards gear effects and all other factors that may impact Spin Axis, it isolates the club conditions, that is, showing Spin Axis based on how the club is delivered only.
