X-Factor @ IMP
Swing Analytics (Sportsbox-style positional metric).
What it measures
SportsBox-style X-Factor at IMP—the angular torso–pelvis stretch (degrees) at Impact, conceptually Chest Turn minus Pelvis Turn at the IMP instant. Different from Downswing core speed sequencing ratios (often labeled Speed gain / timing rows). NEVER swap this IMP stretch number for TOP stretch without relabeling the phase.
Units: degrees
Why it matters
Snapshots how much separation survives into strike—a headline metric for kinematic sequencing reviews next to sway/lift columns.
When the number looks wrong or noisy
Mixed POS tagging between TOP rows and IMP totals invalidates deltas—triple-check spreadsheets.
