2026 PGA Percentile Rankings
vs. qualified players (50+ driver shots)Value
An average of per-shot Stuff+ grades. Stuff+ predicts expected strokes gained based on ball flight characteristics with carry and location not considered. 100 is a TOUR average tee shot and every 10 points is one standard deviation.
How a player's Stuff+ compares to the field they faced at the same events.
The standard deviation of a player's pre-shot Stuff+ across the season.
Speed
How fast the ball leaves the club face, in mph.
A player's 90th percentile ball speed, used to give a more accurate depiction of a player's driver ball speed.
The fastest single ball speed a player posted all season.
How fast the club was swung for a given stroke, in mph.
A player's 90th percentile club speed, used to give a more accurate depiction of a player's club speed with a driver.
The fastest single club speed a player posted all season.
Ball Speed / Club Speed — used as a proxy to measure how much club speed was turned into ball speed.
Height of the ball at the flight's peak, in ft.
Total distance from the tee to where the ball comes to rest, in yards (carry plus roll).
Spin & Shape
The ball's spin rate at impact, in RPM.
The tilt of the ball's spin relative to the horizon, in degrees. Negative tilts the shot left (a draw); positive tilts it right (a fade).
The left-or-right angle the ball starts on relative to the target line, in degrees.
How far left or right of the target line the ball has drifted by the peak of its flight, in yards. Negative is left, positive is right.
Magnitude of the ball's spin-axis tilt, in degrees.
The angle at which the ball is traveling when it strikes the ground.
The upward angle the ball leaves the clubface, in degrees.
