Low Point

TrackMan | 3 | by TrackMan
Low Point

Low point provides a different way of describing attack angle.

Low point is defined as being before or after impact.

First, find impact which is represented by the geometric center of the club head at the time of maximum compression. Then determine if the lowest point in the swing arc is before or after the geometric center of the club head.

Low point can create a strong visualization for the golfer
To hit up on the ball, the golfer must visualize the bottom of the swing arc occurring prior to the golf ball. To hit down on the ball, the golfer must visualize the bottom of the swing arc occurring after the golf ball.

 


 
Examples:

A negative attack angle indicates that the lowest point in the swing arc is after impact (maximum compression).

Low Point - After Impact

A positive attack angle indicates that the lowest point in the swing arc is before impact (maximum compression).

Low Point - Before Impact

 


 
Technical Definition:

Low Point – Distance from the club head’s geometric center to the lowest point on the swing arc at the time of maximum compression.

      Yes that should be incl. in the future, but we do not have an estimated time for that.

    Does the low point measured by Trackman or its calculated based on the algorithm?
