Launch Angle
Launch Angle is the angle measured in degrees at which the ball leaves the club face, relative to the ground. This is not the trajectory or the angle to the peak trajectory. It is measured in the...
Launch Conditions
Launch Conditions are the variables that determine the initial trajectory of a golf ball and include Ball Speed, Launch Angle, Launch Direction and Spin Rate. Modern radar-based and camera-based...
Launch Direction
Launch Direction is the initial horizontal direction the ball starts relative to the intended target line. It’s measured in the first few inches of flight, before any aerodynamic or environmental...
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...
RCT Golf Balls
Developed by Titleist Golf Ball R&D engineers, Radar Capture Technology (RCT®) significantly enhances the capture of golf ball launch data in an indoor environment. RCT works through radar reflective...
Flight
The Flight or Trajectory of a golf shot is the three-dimensional path taken by the golf ball from the moment it is struck by a golf club until it descends and makes contact with the ground. Key...
Casing Layer
The Casing Layer of a golf ball is a secondary layer, under the urethane cover that encapsulates the golf ball core. The casing layer is a resilient, stiff thermoplastic layer made from materials...
Angle of Attack
TrackMan® defines Angle of Attack as the vertical direction of the club head’s geometric center movement at the time of maximum compression of the golf ball. Shots hit off the ground typically require...
