Swing plane (formerly vertical swing plane): a measure of how vertical the swing is, where a high value represents a very up and down (steep) swing plane and a low value a relatively flat (to the ground) arc. More technically, it is the angle made between the ground and the plane of club head trajectory at the bottom of the swing arc. Swing direction (formerly horizontal swing plane): the orientation of the swing arc, relative to the target line, where positive means to the right, negative means to the left. More technically, it is the horizontal direction the club head is traveling in at the bottom of the swing arc Launch direction (formerly horizontal launch angle): the initial direction of the ball relative to target line. Positive means to the right, negative means to the left Hopefully this will help in our understanding as the new terms are very much in line with our studies IMHO.
