Benchmark band

Fit steep/shallow blend

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: Combine with torso bend/side-bend trackers when surfaced; lone ° rarely settles instruction without ball flight corroboration.

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 when SportsBox stamps the shaft-horizontal DCH key frame (distinct from Shaft Plane @ ADR setup and Shaft Plane @ DAH when the lead arm is parallel). Coaches use steep versus shallow labels here—the same tripod lock as Shaft Plane @ ADR comparisons matters more than chasing tour snapshots.

Units: degrees

Why it matters

Planes the club on the way down while wrist lag and torso rotation evolve; pair Club–Hand Gap @ DCH and later DAH shaft rows for sequencing stories.

When the number looks wrong or noisy

Mis-tagging POS (reading DAH as DCH) gives opposite coaching conclusions—mirror exact SportsBox abbreviation on your spreadsheet.
