The 5 Elements of Ball Contact.

Ball flight is the truth. Start line, curve, and strike reveal what happened at impact — these five things decide it. Understand them and every TORRGLEN analysis clicks into place.

Clubface Angle

Where the ball starts

The clubface has the biggest influence on where the ball starts. A square face means a straighter start line.

Swing Path

Curve & shape

The direction the club travels through impact influences curve and shot shape.

Draw / hook

Angle of Attack

Compress vs launch

A downward strike helps compress irons; an upward strike helps optimize driver launch.

Descending (iron)
Compress the ball
Ascending (driver)
Optimize launch

Strike Location

Speed, feel, consistency

A centered strike improves speed, feel, and consistency. Off-center strikes cost distance and accuracy.

Reduced speed & accuracy

Low Point & Shaft Lean

Crisp, ball-first contact

Control the bottom of the swing arc and deliver the handle correctly for crisp, ball-first contact. For irons, the low point is ideally 1–2 inches ahead of the ball.
