Launch Angle (Putting)

• Definition
  • The vertical angle the golf ball takes off at relative to the horizon and measured immediately after separation from the club face.
  • The ball will always launch closer to the Dynamic Loft of the club compared to the Attack Angle.
• The Use of Launch Angle
  • Launch Angle is key to ensure that the ball starts rolling smoothly and consistently.
  • Too high of a launch angle can cause the ball to bounce or skid, while too low of a launch angle might lead to excessive friction and an inconsistent roll.
  • A well-controlled launch angle allows golfers to better judge and control the distance of their putts.
