Club Face Angle
This is the angle of your club at the moment of impact. If your club face is not square at impact your ball will not fly straight. If the Club Face Angle is not square it is either:

• Open - the club face angles away from you
• Closed - the club face angles toward you

Swing Path
The club head should follow a Swing Path that matches the intended ball flight at the point of impact. More simply, the head of your club must follow a straight line that hits the ball square or your ball will not go straight. If your swing path is not in a straight line to the intended direction of flight at impact your swing path is either:

• Inside-Out - the path is from the inside and moves to the outside
• Outside-In - the path is from the outside and moves to the inside

Attack Angle
Attack angle refers to steepness of the swing. With woods, you want an even or slightly upwards angle of attack; for irons, you want a down angle of attack. A steeper angle of attack with irons adds backspin and helps the ball elevate.

Strike Location/Sweet Spot
This is the center of the club face. The closer you hit the ball with the sweet spot of the club the more power the club transfers to the ball.

Distance
The yardage of the shot calculated from the dynamics of the club as it passed through the impact zone. This distance calculation has been measured to be accurate to within 1% in our testing. The calculation can also be adjusted based on other variables such as de-lofted clubs, elevation, or known distances.

Club Speed
P3ProSwing™ measures the speed of your swing as measured as the club head crosses the sensor rows. It gives you the feedback to learn how to maximize the acceleration of club head speed and still hit the Sweet Spot resulting in longer more accurate drives.

Ball Speed
This is a function of how "pure" you hit the ball. When the ball is hit from the sweet spot of the club, the ball speed will be greater.

Swing Tempo
Everyone has a natural rhythm when they swing. Swinging hard may not necessarily mean you are developing maximum club head speed. The amount of time it takes you to draw your club back to ball impact is measured every time you swing. You can vary your back swing and find the optimum time it takes you to develop your highest and best controlled club head speed. You learn quickly that club head speed can be increased by adding power continuously as you swing, and how to accelerate the club as you swing. Golf is dramatically effected by swing tempo. The P3ProSwing™ gives you the information you need to get the greatest distance and the most accurate shots with your swing.

Left or Right of Center
P3ProSwing™ automatically sets up a center line for a perfect, straight shot. If you hit the Perfect Swing, your ball will go straight down that centerline. But an off-center swing path or an open or closed club face can cause spin on the ball or send the ball in the wrong direction. This metric utilizes data from your club face angle and swing path to calculate the effect on the ball during flight, and shows you where your ball will end up as a result.

Left or Right of Path
This measure gives you the ability to correct your stance so that your swing path is straight. It helps you to determine whether your ball is traveling left or right of center is the result of stance, swing path or club face angle.

Toe and Heel Height
The P3ProSwing™ determines whether your stance is too close or too far away from the ball. It measures the toe height and the heel height of the club. For a perfect stance you want the club to be parallel to the ground at impact. If the toe height is too high you are too far away. If the toe height is too low you are too close. [Your pro can also use this information to fit your clubs and help perfect your stance when you address the ball]

Penalty
When you have opted to turn penalties on, shots that are off the sweet spot are penalized for a more accurate representation of the shot. The penalty number is the percentage that a shot has been altered as a result.
