FlightScope Data Explained

FlightScope is proud to offer the most accurate, detailed data parameters for club, ball flight, and short game.

Club Data

Club Speed

The speed of the geometric center of the club, measured at impact. Club speed has a direct influence on the ball speed.

More about club speed

Club Speed Profile

Speed of the club head’s geometric center away from the radar, measured pre and post impact with the ball. From the speed profile, a player can determine swing speed consistency and efficient energy transfer.

Optimizing Club Speed Profile

Club Acceleration Profile

Acceleration of the club head’s geometric center away from the radar, measured pre- and post-impact with the ball. The acceleration profile will indicate the rate of closure due to shaft bend and club release by the golfer.

Face to Path

Direction of the club face relative to the club path, measured at impact. The angular difference between the face angle and the club path will tilt the spin axis.
*Off center hits will impact gear effect.

Using Face to Path Data

Face to Target

Direction of the club face relative to the radar’s target line, measured at impact. Face angle will influence the direction in which the ball starts relative to the radar’s target line.

Using Face to Target Data

Dynamic Loft

Loft of the club at impact. Dynamic loft can be influenced by shaft bend, forward press, and many other variables.

How to Use Dynamic Loft Data

Angle of Attack

The angle at which the geometric center of the club approaches the ball, measured just before impact. Can also be referred to as arch location strike or angle of approach.

Improving Angle of Attack

Club Path

The direction of the geometric center of the club relative to the radar’s target line, measured at impact. Club path is influenced by angle of attack, horizontal swing plane, and vertical swing plane.

X3C and Mevo+ Pro Package

Using Club Path Data

Spin Loft

The contribution to ball spin as a result of the effective loft on the club face presented to the ball during impact, which is approximately defined by the difference between the 3D angle of attack and 3D dynamic loft of the club at impact.

Using Spin Loft Data

Horizontal Swing Plane

The angle of the club’s geometric center relative to the ground, measured at the lowest point of the swing.

About Horizontal Swing Plane

Vertical Swing Plane

Refers to the vertical angle described by the trajectory of the clubhead relative to the ground.

X3C and Mevo+ Pro Package

Using Vertical Swing Plane

Low Point

The horizontal distance from the location of ball strike, to the point where the club trajectory bottoms out (lowest point in the arc).

Using Low Point Data

Ball Data

Ball Speed

Launch speed of the golf ball. Ball speed has the biggest effect on carry distance. Centeredness of impact and an increase in club speed will ensure a higher ball speed.

Optimize Your Ball Speed

Smash Factor

Ball Speed ÷ Club Speed
The energy transfer ratio from club to ball as a result of impact position on the club face. Centered impact will improve smash factor for optimal ball speeds.

X3C, Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and Mevo

Optimizing Smash Factor

Carry Distance

Landing distance of the ball from the tee. Ball speed, spin rate, spin axis, and vertical launch angle are all factors that will determine the carry distance.

X3C, Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and Mevo

Using Carry Distance Data

Launch Angle

Vertical Launch Angle refers to the angle at which the ball is launched relative to the horizon of the radar, while Horizontal Launch Angle refers to the angle at which the ball takes off from the ground, relative to the target line.

X3C, Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and Mevo

Understanding Launch Angle

Launch Direction

Direction in which the golf ball gets launched relative to the radar’s target line. Club face angle will have the biggest affect on the horizontal launch angle of the ball.

X3C, Mevo+ and Mevo Gen2

Spin Rate

Number of rotations per minute of the ball at launch. A higher spin loft and higher friction will increase the spin rate of the ball.

X3C, Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and Mevo

Using Spin Rate Data

Apex Height

Maximum height of the ball trajectory.

Using Apex Height Data

Flight Time

Amount of time the ball spends in the air from time of club impact to initial ground impact, measured in seconds.

X3C, Mevo+, Mevo Gen2 and Mevo

Understanding Flight Time

Vertical Descent

Angle at which the ball approaches the landing area. A lower descent angle will increase distance with a driver, and a steeper descent angle will give a player more stopping power on the green with an iron.

X3C and Mevo+ Pro Package

Using Vertical Descent Angle

Spin Axis

The axis tilt on the ball to determine the direction of curvature in the ball flight. A function of the delta between club face angle and club path. The amount of curvature in the ball flight is governed by (ball speed)² as a result of aerodynamic forces on the ball.

X3C, Mevo+ and Mevo Gen2

Understanding Spin Axis

Roll Distance

Amount of roll from carry distance to final position of the ball. Lower spin rate and lower effective angle of descent will increase the amount of roll on the surface.

X3C, Mevo+ and Mevo Gen2

Using Roll Distance Data

Total Distance

Total distance refers to the final position of the ball on the ground from the tee. It encompasses both carry distance and roll distance.

X3C, Mevo+ and Mevo Gen2

Using Total Distance Data

Lateral Landing

Distance of the ball’s impact point measured perpendicular to the target line. This metric reflects how far the ball deviates left or right from its intended flight path upon landing.
