Spin Rate
2 articlesSpin rate is the rotational speed of a struck golf ball, generally expressed in revolutions per minute. It describes how rapidly the ball spins, not the orientation of its spin axis. Spin rate interacts with launch conditions and aerodynamic forces, but its meaning depends on whether the value is directly measured or estimated by a particular launch-monitor system. Whether golf ball rotational speed applies depends on the exact equipment or software version being discussed.
