Chest vs hips separation (Swing Analytics): What It Is & Why It Matters
In plain language, what does "Chest vs hips separation" mean on my monitor or export?
Lateral difference between chest movement and pelvis movement (chest sway minus pelvis sway in the model). Positive means the upper body is relatively closer to the target in side-to-side space.
Units: inches
Why does this metric matter for ball flight, dispersion, or scoring?
Captures upper–lower dissociation: how much the thorax moves relative to the hips while both slide. Useful for “stuck” lower body vs upper-body drift.
What is a typical or competitive range for this stat?
Read at top and impact on your platform; compare to your own good swings with consistent filming.
What usually makes this number look bad or noisy in real rounds?
Large impact values can reflect real strategy or noisy capture—verify face-on alignment and feet in frame.
