The downward swing path, impact, club face angle, launch angle and ball speed are all captured by the high speed cameras, normally running at around 100 to 120 frames per second. Camera data is processed using complex physics algorithms to produce a multitude of data such as back spin, side spin, trajectory, club face angle, swing path, loft ...
Vacuum trajectory of a projectile for different launch angles. Launch speed is the same for all angles, 50 m/s, and "g" is 10 m/s 2. To hit a target at range x and altitude y when fired from (0,0) and with initial speed v, the required angle(s) of launch θ are:
English: Trajectories of projectiles launched at different elevation angles and a speed of 10 m/s. A vacuum and a uniform downward gravity field of 10 m/s² is assumed. t = time from launch, T = time of flight, R = range and H = highest point of trajectory (indicated by arrows). The points are at 0.05 s intervals.
A launch angle of 45 degrees displaces the projectile the farthest horizontally. This is due to the nature of right triangles. Additionally, from the equation for the range :
The incidence angle of the clubface is x° to the left of the target, and where the path of the clubface is also x° to the left of the target (outside to inside path). A shank occurs when the ball is struck on the hosel of the club, and thus flies at a sharp angle to the right of the intended direction (or vice versa for a left-handed player).
To find the angle giving the maximum height for a given speed calculate the derivative of the maximum height = / with respect to , that is = / which is zero when = / =. So the maximum height H m a x = v 2 2 g {\displaystyle H_{\mathrm {max} }={v^{2} \over 2g}} is obtained when the projectile is fired straight up.

Launch angle: The vertical angle at which the ball leaves the bat on a batted ball. Vector : Classifies the horizontal launch direction of the batted ball into five equal zones of 18 degrees each. Hang time : Measures the time from bat contact to the ball either hitting the ground/wall or contact by a fielder.
