Understanding Trackman Numbers

[TheBogeyMan]

Having some real doubts over my understanding of Trackman numbers at the moment - hoping to get some info on here.

In the attached picture of Landry's swing, my understanding is that:

- he swings out to in with a -1.1 club path;

- his club face is just open to target (0.7) and is therefore 1.8 open to path

This, in my limited knowledge, should result in a ball starting very slightly left of target and cutting.  Yet the picture, curve and the spin axis show a draw...

Any idea?

Toe contact? Yes, if hit in sweet spot should fade. You can input the CHS and AA into TrackMan U tool to get spin and if spin is higher than # in photo, may verify toe hit as toe contact takes away spin. Or if you can play swing vid, check if face pops open at impact.

That's all it is, yes.
