The 5 Launch Monitor Metrics That Will Change Your Golf Game

In this video, I break down the 5 most important launch monitor data points that every golfer needs to know for better ball striking, consistency, and smarter practice sessions. Whether you’re using a TrackMan, PRGR, or another launch monitor, these key metrics—impact location, low point, face angle, club path, and angle of attack—are crucial to understanding what your swing is doing and how to improve it. Many golfers get caught up in focusing on a single stat, like club path, without first understanding the foundation of their swing data. But if you really want to make progress and hit more consistent shots, you need to focus on the data in the correct order: 1. Impact Location – Where are you striking the clubface? This affects ball flight, spin, and distance. 2. Low Point – Where is your swing arc bottoming out? For solid iron shots, the low point should be in front of the ball, not behind it. 3. Face Angle – Is your clubface open, square, or closed at impact? Face angle dictates the starting direction of your shot. 4. Club Path – This shows whether your swing is moving in-to-out or out-to-in at impact, which influences shot shape. 5. Angle of Attack – Are you hitting up or down on the ball? With irons, you want to hit down; with your driver, you want to hit up. By understanding and prioritizing these five numbers, you can make targeted improvements to your swing and avoid wasting time on the wrong changes. I’ll walk you through how these data points interact, common mistakes golfers make when interpreting them, and how you can apply this information in your next practice session. Whether you’re trying to stop slicing, improve ball compression, or gain more distance off the tee, mastering these key metrics will help you achieve more consistent and predictable results.
