Putting - Backstroke Length
Backstroke Length is the length the putter face travels in the Backstroke from address to the top of the Backstroke, measured in inches.
Putting - Impact Stroke Speed
Impact Stroke Speed is the speed of the sweet spot of the putter face at the moment of impact, measured in miles per hour (mph).
Putting - Direction
Direction is the group of metrics that directly influence the direction of the putt you rolled. Identifying areas for improvement within the direction grouping will help with your proximity (left – right) to the hole.
Putting - Face Angle at Impact
Face Angle at Impact is the difference in Rotation (the rotation of the putter face around the shaft) between Backstroke Rotation and Forward Stroke Rotation, measured in degrees.
Metrics - SHORT GAME, BUNKER & FULL SWING
