Whether the club is moving up or down at impact. Critical for driver optimization and iron consistency.

Attack angle (AoA) is the vertical direction the clubhead is moving at impact — positive when moving upward, negative when moving downward. With irons, you want a negative AoA (-3° to -5°) to compress the ball and take a divot after impact. With driver, the optimal AoA is positive (+2° to +5°) to maximize launch and minimize spin — the secret to longer drives.
Most amateurs hit DOWN on their driver (-2° to -4°), losing 15–25 yards of carry. Tour pros like Bryson DeChambeau and Cameron Champ swing UP (+5°+) to maximize distance. Adjusting AoA from -3° to +3° on a driver can add 20+ yards instantly without any swing speed gain.
TrackMan iO measures attack angle to within ±0.5° using ceiling-mounted radar that tracks the club through the entire impact zone. The reading is identical in accuracy to outdoor TrackMan IIIe.
