SAM Puttlab Analysis Reports

Path & Putter Face Relationship
This report exactly indicates how the putter face is aligned on the putter path around impact and shows the deviation from square alignment. For a natural stroke the path can be slightly arced, but the putter face will always be square to the path.
The graph shows the putter path in top view in a range of 30 cm or 12 inches around impact. The vertical lines represent the putter face angle along the path in the displayed area.
The different colors of the lines show how the putter face is aligned relatively to the direction of the path (NOT TO THE TARGET!).
Red line: The Putter face is open more than 1
degree on the path
Blue line: The putter face is closed more than
1 degree on the path
Black line: The putter face is aligned in between
+/- 1 degrees on the path (this means it is nearly perfectly square).
The Score bar on the right side gives an overall rating of the Face on Path parameter. This will include also areas of the swing that are not visible in the path graphics.
The Face On Path angle is measured against the path direction for every displayed line, NOT against the target alignment. If the face is square on path at impact, then the ball is going exactly in the direction where face and path are pointing to. If the putt still misses the target, then the complete body alignment is off.
