Return Angle @ Half Down
What is Return Angle @ Half-Down?
This parameter measures how far inside or outside you return your club during the downswing. It is measured at half-down, which refers to the position in the downswing when the club is parallel with the ground. If you return your club back perfectly on plane, the shaft will lie parallel to the target line and the return angle will read 0°.
What should Return Angle be?
Similar to the takeaway angle, many consider the ideal return angle to be about 0°. A high outside return angle leads to an outside-to-inside path at impact. This can result in a slice, and it's often the result of excessively driving the club with the arms rather than the body.
Try doing a groove session on your return angle to make sure you're bringing your club back to the ball consistently.
