Stopping Power
Stopping power has to do with the angle of descent of the golf ball, the spin rate, and the course conditions you’re playing in. If you're not generating enough spin on an iron approach shot, it's...
Angle of Descent
Angle of Descent (also referred to as Landing Angle) is the angle, typically measured in degrees, at which the golf ball strikes the ground as it falls from the highest point of its flight. The angle...
Target Line
The Target Line is an imaginary line projected onto the ground that extends through the golf ball to the intended target.
In-To-Out Path
During the downswing, the clubhead approaches the ball from inside the target line and (in an ideal, neutral swing) returns to the target line right at the moment the club contacts the ball. After...
Axis of Rotation
In discussing golf ball flight and curve, the Axis of Rotation is the imaginary line running through the center of the golf ball about which the golf ball spins. On all golf shots (except for topped...
