Last Data Point (Height)
The altitude of the ball when it was last tracked by the radar.
Also known as:Last Data Point - Height, Last Tracked Height
Full Definition
Last data point height shows the ball's height above ground at the final moment of tracking. When hitting outdoors to landing, this should be near ground level. When hitting into a net, this shows how high the ball was when it stopped being tracked—useful for understanding where in its arc the ball hit the net.
Why It Matters
This metric indicates whether the radar tracked the ball through its full flight. A high last data point height suggests the ball was tracked mid-flight (possibly hitting a net), and subsequent trajectory data may be simulated. A near-zero height indicates full flight tracking.
