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

Benchmark band

Lie + intent driven

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: When SportsBox shows overlays, trust them ahead of handwritten ranges—otherwise tighten scatter around coach-approved blueprint.

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

What it measures

Face-on modeled shaft-plane angle at SportsBox Address (ADR) immediately before takeaway—not Shaft Plane @ DAH nor any DCH shaft-horizontal read. Club length, lie, spine stacks (Chest/Pelvis Bend + Side Bend), grip, stance width, and ball position materially feed this statistic before kinematics propagate.

Units: degrees

Why it matters

Acts as linkage between torso bend trackers and downstream delivery-plane diagnostics on the same camera lock.

When the number looks wrong or noisy

Micro forward press or glove twist at Address adjusts shaft-plane read without torso metrics moving—log intent changes explicitly.
