In plain language, what does "Pelvis lift @ TOP" mean on my monitor or export?

Vertical rise of the pelvic trace at TOP versus address. Sportsbox often surfaces this next to pelvis turn and thrust metrics so you can see “standing up” with the lower body as well as the chest.

Units: inches

Why does this metric matter for ball flight, dispersion, or scoring?

Pairs with chest lift and head lift when diagnosing loss of inclination; useful when consistency reports flag posture at the top.

What usually makes this number look bad or noisy in real rounds?

Short backswings or abbreviated arm swing can distort TOP detection versus full parallel‑shaft rehearsals.
