Club path is the horizontal direction the clubhead is traveling at impact. Negative (out-to-in) creates a slice path, positive (in-to-out) creates a draw path. Combined with face angle, club path determines the curvature of every shot. The 'D-Plane' relationship between path and face is the foundation of modern ball flight laws taught by every TrackMan-certified instructor.
Club path is the #1 fix for slicers. Most amateurs swing -3° to -5° out-to-in, producing a fade-to-slice. Just shifting the path to neutral (0°) eliminates the slice immediately. This single change can drop 5+ shots off your handicap.
TrackMan iO measures club path with dual-radar tracking through the impact zone, accurate to ±0.5°. Path is measured at the moment the club is at the ball, not before or after.
