What it measures
| Ball speed | Measured |
|---|---|
| Launch angle | Measured |
| Launch direction | Measured |
| Spin rate | Measured |
| Spin axis | Measured |
| Club speed | Measured |
| Club path | Measured |
| Face angle | Not confirmed |

Measured values come straight from the sensor. Calculated values are estimated from other measurements, which is usually less reliable for spin and club data.
