Ball Flight

Ball Flight

Ball flight describes the full path the golf ball travels from impact to landing.

It includes the starting direction, the curvature (draw, hook, fade, slice, straight, etc.), the height of the shot, and how the ball descends.

Fitters study ball flight because it shows how the clubface, swing path, launch angle, and spin are working together. A consistent flight pattern is more important than the exact shape, as it allows the golfer to predict where the ball will go.

During a fitting, ball flight helps the fitter diagnose issues and select equipment that supports the player’s natural tendencies. If the ball is launching too low, curving too much, or climbing too high, adjustments to loft, shaft profile, lie angle, or head design can help.

A well-fit club produces a ball flight that matches the golfer’s preferred window and gives them confidence in their typical shot pattern.
