Benchmark band

Maintain inclination

Use this line with cohort percentiles or coach bands in Sportsbox when available.

Aim (simple): No single optimal degree fits every golfer—camera pitch skews readings. Loose aim: stabilize within roughly ±4–8° versus YOUR baseline on identical framing or push cohort percentiles upward week over week.

Typical ranges: Club/intent swings move baseline expectations—prioritize deltas vs your blueprint captures.

Camera setup affects inches and degrees—track your own trend more than someone else’s raw number.

What it measures

SportsBox Chest Bend (forward/back torso flexion versus model baseline) anchored at TOP. Separate from Chest Side Bend @ TOP (lateral tilt) and Chest Turn (rotation). Contrast Chest Bend @ ADR to quantify how torso pitch evolved from Address through coil completion.

Units: degrees

Why it matters

Explains torso pitch deltas while arms/finish wind—guides posture-loss narratives before transition firing.

When the number looks wrong or noisy

Shoulder-marker dropouts perturb thorax meshes—reject suspect frames.
