Common questions
- Why do I slice my driver but not my irons?
- The driver is the longest club with the least loft, so the same out-to-in path and open face produce far more visible side spin. Many golfers slice every club but only notice it with the driver. Read the full guide →
- Why does my forehand spray long?
- Often a flat, tense swing with too little topspin, or late contact. Add low-to-high brush and meet the ball further out front. Read the full guide →
- Is pickleball analysis just tennis analysis?
- No. SwingVantage uses a pickleball-specific engine — compact stroke, paddle-face control, the kitchen, and the third-shot drop — not tennis groundstroke checkpoints. Read the full guide →
- What should a beginner practice first in padel?
- Holding the net with a controlled bandeja, and reading balls off the back glass. Court position and the walls decide more points than power. Read the full guide →
- What bat size for my child?
- Fit matters more than power. A bat the child can control through the zone with good balance is right — when in doubt, go lighter and get fitted. Read the full guide →
- Should I uppercut in slow-pitch?
- In slow-pitch softball a slight upward path that matches the ball’s descent is ideal. An exaggerated uppercut gets under the ball and turns power into pop-ups. Read the full guide →
- Why do I keep fouling back the rise ball?
- Fouling straight back is a timing signature — you are just under and slightly late. Commit a touch earlier and flatten your path to meet it on plane. Read the full guide →
- Is it really free?
- Yes. The core analysis, drills, and practice plan are free, with no credit card required. Read the full guide →
