Chest Side Bend
What it measures
Official Side Bend tracker: Chest Side Bend @ [POS]—side tilt of the upper spine (trail shoulder lower vs lead in the face-on view). Typically Player / Player+ for full DTL context. Distinct from Chest Bend (forward/back “tilt” of the spine), which is a separate Pro-level stream when the app exposes it. Read the phase column beside your value (TOP vs IMP, etc.).
Units: degrees
Why it matters
Helps shallow or steep delivery dynamics and supports head/spine stability through impact alongside rotation.
