FAQ Glossary

RCT

RCT stands for Radar Capture Technology — a radar-reflective mark applied on the ball's casing layer that helps Trackman capture the most accurate possible swing and flight data.

shaft flex

Shaft flex is how much a golf shaft bends during your swing, and how much club head speed is needed to bend it the intended amount.

shaft profile

A shaft profile is how flex and stiffness are distributed along the shaft from grip to tip, engineered by the manufacturer for specific swing conditions.

shaft torque

Torque is how much a shaft twists through the swing. Higher torque shafts feel more flexible and generally suit slower swing speeds; lower torque shafts feel stiffer and generally suit faster swing speeds.

smash factor

Smash factor is ball speed divided by club speed, a Trackman metric that describes how efficiently club speed is converted into ball speed.

spin rate

Spin rate is how fast the ball rotates after impact, measured in RPM.

SST PURE

SST PURE is a process that measures a shaft's 360-degree construction to identify its most consistent reaction point, so the club is built and oriented for maximum consistency, accuracy, and distance.

swingweight

Swingweight is a measurement of how a golf club's weight is distributed and how heavy the clubhead feels relative to the grip when the club is swung.
