One reference number from the glossary—not a target for every golfer.

Benchmark band

Stable tilt

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: Measure ADR vs TOP deltas under fixed tripod lock before overlaying cohort bands.

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

What it measures

SportsBox Chest Side Bend at TOP: lateral upper-spine tilt in the modeling frame versus target/ball at completion of backswing. Separate from Chest Side Bend @ ADR exports and generic multi-phase Side Bend rows lacking explicit POS tags—mirror the spelled POS beside your spreadsheet cell.

Units: degrees

Why it matters

Feeds plane planning into DAH/DCH references while pairing naturally with rotational + bend stacks at TOP.

When the number looks wrong or noisy

Mix-ups with rotational turn fields—triple-check labeling when spreadsheets omit POS text.
