A full swing launch monitor measures various parameters of a golf shot, including:
Ball speed: The speed of the golf ball as it leaves the clubface
Launch angle: The angle at which the ball leaves the clubface
Spin rate: The amount of spin imparted on the ball, both backspin and sidespin
Side angle: The angle of the ball’s launch relative to the target line
Vertical launch angle: The angle of the ball’s launch relative to the ground
Carry distance: The distance the ball travels through the air before it lands
Total distance: The total distance the ball travels, including roll
Smash factor: A ratio of ball speed to clubhead speed, indicating the efficiency of the ball compression
Clubhead speed: The speed at which the clubhead is moving at impact
Angle of attack: The angle at which the clubhead approaches the ball at impact.
