Difference between face angle and club path. This is what creates draw, fade, or straight shots.
Face-to-path is the difference between the clubface angle and the club path at impact. Positive (face open to path) creates a fade or slice; negative (face closed to path) creates a draw or hook; zero produces a perfectly straight shot. This single number is the master variable for shot shape — change face-to-path by 1°, you change ball curvature by approximately 4 yards over 200 yards of carry.
Understanding face-to-path is the difference between random shot shapes and intentional shot-making. Once you can control face and path independently, you can shape any shot on demand: low draws, high fades, straight bombs.
TrackMan iO calculates face-to-path automatically from the measured face angle and club path readings. Accuracy matches both source measurements (±0.5°).
