What is a path in golf?

Direction and trajectory that the club head travels during the golf swing, particularly through the impact zone, which significantly influences ball flight direction and curve.

Definition

The direction and trajectory that the club head travels during the golf swing, particularly through the impact zone, which significantly influences ball flight direction and curve. Swing path can be inside-out (approaching from inside the target line), outside-in (approaching from outside the target line), or square (along the target line). Path works in conjunction with club face angle to determine ball flight characteristics including draw, fade, hook, and slice patterns. Modern launch monitor technology can precisely measure swing path, helping golfers and instructors identify swing faults and optimize ball flight patterns for improved accuracy and consistency.
