Launch Angle
1 articleLaunch angle is the initial vertical angle of the golf ball's flight immediately after impact, measured relative to the horizontal. It is a ball-flight parameter and should not be confused with the static loft stamped on a club or the dynamic loft delivered at impact. Its importance to trajectory depends on ball speed, spin, strike and the other launch conditions. A description of initial ball launch angle must remain specific to this entry rather than be copied from a similarly named product.
