swing path

Where clubhead travels

Swing path is the direction a club, bat, or racket travels through the hitting zone.

In golf, swing path determines whether the ball curves left or right: an inside-out path tends to produce a draw, while an outside-in path creates a fade or slice.

His coach worked with him to flatten his swing path.

The term appears in baseball and tennis with similar meaning.
