Where are club face angle and clubhead path measured?

The measurement of club face angle and clubhead path is critical during the moment of impact when the club contacts the ball. At this point, the orientation of the clubface, which indicates where it is aimed in relation to the target, and the path of the clubhead, which describes its movement direction, play crucial roles in determining the ball's trajectory, spin, and ultimately where it lands.

Understanding these measurements at impact helps in analyzing a golfer's swing mechanics to improve consistency and accuracy. While factors such as the address position,backswing, and follow-through can all influence the final outcome, the true relationship and resulting effects of clubface angle and path are best evaluated precisely at the moment of impact when the physical interaction with the golf ball occurs.
