Consistency Score
An overall percentage rating of how repeatable your swing is, combining face control, start line, strike quality, and dispersion.
Full Definition
The Consistency Score is a SimSights composite metric that averages four sub-scores: Face Control %, Start Line %, Strike Quality %, and a Dispersion Zone score. Each sub-score measures a different dimension of repeatability. The result is a single 0–100% number that captures how predictable your ball flight is from shot to shot. A higher score means less variation and more control.
Formula
Optimal RangeGeneral guidance based on tour averages. Your optimal range depends on swing speed, physical attributes, and individual technique. Many golfers succeed with metrics outside these ranges.
70%+ is strong, 50–69% is developing, below 50% needs work
Why It Matters
Consistency is the foundation of lower scores. A golfer who hits a predictable 240-yard draw will always out-score someone who alternates between 270-yard bombs and 200-yard slices. The Consistency Score gives you one number to track as you work on repeatability.

Face Control
A SimSights metric that measures the percentage of shots where your face-to-path angle stays within ±2.5° — indicating consistent shot shape.
Start Line Control
A SimSights metric that measures the percentage of shots where the ball's initial direction stays within ±3° of your target line.
Strike Quality Score
A SimSights metric that measures the percentage of shots struck well enough to meet the smash factor and impact location thresholds for your club type.
Dispersion Zone
A SimSights metric that represents the radius of a circle (in yards) containing roughly 95% of your shots, combining both lateral and distance spread.
