Using Lateral Landing Data

Available for Mevo Gen2, Mevo+ and X3

What is Lateral Landing

Lateral Landing refers to the distance of the ball’s impact point measured perpendicular to the target line. This metric reflects how far the ball deviates left or right from its intended flight path upon landing.

How Lateral Landing is Measured

FlightScope utilizes patented Fusion Tracking technology – a unique combination of radar and camera – to measure the ball's flight path in 3D. By analyzing the landing position relative to the launch point, FlightScope calculates the Lateral Landing distance.

Why Lateral Landing is Important

Lateral Landing provides valuable insight into ball flight direction and tendencies. Understanding lateral movement can help golfers diagnose swing flaws and improve shot accuracy.

How to use it for improvement:

• Diagnose Ball Flight Issues: Analyze Lateral Landing data to identify excessive left or right deviations from the target line. This information can help pinpoint swing mechanics issues causing the ball to curve unintentionally.

• Track Ball Flight Consistency: Monitor lateral landing data over time to assess improvements in swing path and overall shot accuracy. Reduced lateral movement indicates a more consistent ball flight pattern.

• Refine Aim: Use lateral landing data to gauge the effectiveness of your swing adjustments and refine your aiming point to compensate for the desired ball curve. For example, if your typical ball flight is a pull hook – aim further right to compensate for this and ensure your ball lands closer to the target line.

Key Takeaway

Lateral landing is a valuable metric for golfers seeking to improve shot accuracy and control ball flight direction. By analyzing lateral landing data and making adjustments to swing mechanics or aiming strategies, you can improve your accuracy relative to the target – ultimately leading to lower scores on the course.
