Club–hand gap @ DCH (Swing Analytics): What It Is & Why It Matters
In plain language, what does "Club–hand gap @ DCH" mean on my monitor or export?
Distance between club and hands at DCH—the Sportsbox key position where the shaft is roughly horizontal during the downswing (often named Downswing Club Horizontal or similar). It describes how stretched or cramped the linkage is halfway down.
Units: inches
Why does this metric matter for ball flight, dispersion, or scoring?
Sequences with wrist hinge, torso rotation into delivery, and how much shaft you shallow or steepen before impact.
What usually makes this number look bad or noisy in real rounds?
Detection of DCH hinges on shaft plane labeling—compare only within the same app version/session export.
