Upper body rotation (Swing Analytics): What It Is & Why It Matters
In plain language, what does "Upper body rotation" mean on my monitor or export?
Rotation of the torso around the vertical axis in a face-on 3D solve. Convention: opening toward target vs closed relative to foot line (0° at ankles).
Units: degrees
Why does this metric matter for ball flight, dispersion, or scoring?
Describes coil and delivery rotation—width, depth, and the hands path people feel as “turn.” Central to sequencing with the hips.
What is a typical or competitive range for this stat?
Tour-level patterns vary by mobility. Compare trends and key positions (top, transition, delivery), not one magic number.
What usually makes this number look bad or noisy in real rounds?
Flat or reversing turn through impact often ties to early extension; read alongside spine tilt and sway.
