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: Ball position + club loft shift acceptable ° materially—coach-fit windows beat internet absolutes.

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

What it measures

SportsBox Chest Side Bend @ IMP—upper-spine lateral tilt in the modeled frame at Impact. Distinct from Chest Side Bend @ ADR/TOP exports and generic multi-phase Chest Side Bend rows missing explicit IMP tags.

Units: degrees

Why it matters

Explains torso incline beside the strike—stack with Rotation + Lift + Thrust IMP for complete posture-of-impact.

When the number looks wrong or noisy

Using DAH or DCH side bend values while labeling them IMP destroys coaching deltas—enforce POS spelling.
