01 / Why it matters
Scoring is driven far more by the size and shape of the pattern than by a single best shot.
Dispersion
Dispersion is the spread of shot outcomes around the intended target line and distance.
02 / Performance impact
Head forgiveness, shaft profile, length and weight all influence how far off-centre results travel from the intended line.
03 / Common misconception
The longest configuration in a test is rarely the one with the tightest pattern.
04 / How TruePath considers it
Recommendations are evaluated on the pattern a configuration is likely to produce, not only on the best possible outcome.
