One Fix FAQ

Why you get one priority instead of a list of faults, how it is chosen from your evidence, and when it can change.

What is a One Fix?

Your One Fix is the single change SwingVantage recommends working on first, chosen from your analysis. It comes with one drill, one goal to aim for, and when to retest.

More detail

Other findings stay in the detailed analysis, but they are deliberately not what you practice yet. Once you commit to a fix it stays your active focus — a newer analysis does not replace it — until you finish that loop, normally by retesting and then locking in your next fix. That way your practice plan and Today screen always point at the same thing.

Not every analysis ends in a fix. When every read is already at the working level, the result says "Nothing to fix on this swing" and suggests filming the same swing again in a week or two. When the clip cannot support a fix, it asks you to re-film instead of guessing.

Why does SwingVantage give me only one thing to fix?

Because working on one change at a time is how change actually sticks — and how you can tell whether it worked. Ten corrections at once are hard to practice, and afterwards you cannot say which one made the difference.

More detail

Many faults also share a cause. Fixing the upstream one often cleans up others without separate work, so starting with the highest-impact change saves time.

When a retest shows the change has taken hold, you lock in the next priority and the loop starts again.

How does SwingVantage decide which fix comes first?

It puts first the one change your clip gives the clearest evidence for and that should help your swing most, using rules written for your sport and motion. If nothing needs work, there is no fix; if the clip cannot support the finding, you are asked to re-film.

More detail
  • Checks written for your sport and motion, and the parts of the movement the analysis could read, are compared with a working level. The fix goes to the area that most needs work and comes with drills to practice it.
  • If everything the analysis could read is at the working level, there is no fix — the result says "Nothing to fix on this swing".
  • If the clip does not hold up the evidence behind the top finding, its fix is withheld and you are asked to re-film.

Confidence is shown with the fix. When part of the movement could not be read, the fix says so and its confidence is shown as Low.

When suggestions from several places compete for your next step — a fresh video, imported golf launch-monitor data, a retest that is due — SwingVantage puts forward the one that matters most and is best supported. A fix you have committed to stays first until you finish its loop.

The rules are also meant to favor a change that is practical to work on alone, safe for your body, quick to re-film and check, and relevant to the problem you named. Those are design goals, though, not separate scores the ranking applies yet.

The choice uses fixed rules for your sport, not a language model, so the reason for a fix is always traceable to evidence in your analysis.

What is the difference between the Main Issue and the One Fix?

The Main Issue is what the analysis found — the movement pattern holding you back and where it shows up in the clip. The One Fix is what to do about it: the specific change, drill and goal to practice.

More detail

Anyone can see the Main Issue and the One Fix without an account. A free account saves the fix and turns it into your practice plan and retest, so the finding becomes something you can act on and check.

When every read is already at the working level there is no Main Issue to fix, and the result says "Nothing to fix on this swing" instead.

Do I need an account to see my One Fix?

No. You can see your One Fix without an account: the fix, its coaching cue, the drill and the goal. A free account saves it and unlocks the practice plan, the retest, progress and report downloads.

More detail

Without an account you can see the summary, the visual proof, the main issue and the One Fix — including the evidence and confidence behind them, and the one drill that trains it. A fix is only useful if it is still there when you practice and retest, so the account is what keeps it. An analysis saved on your device carries straight over when you create one.

If your device could not store the analysis, or this browser still holds a different account’s saved work, the sign-up prompt says so first, and what will and will not carry over.

Can my One Fix change?

Yes, but not at random. Each new analysis shows its own One Fix, or says there is nothing to fix, but the fix you commit to stays your focus until you finish that loop — normally when a retest shows it has improved and you lock in your next fix.

More detail

A newer analysis does not overwrite a fix you are already working on; it tells you that you have an active focus and asks you to finish it first. That is on purpose, so practice builds on the same change rather than chasing a different finding every session. Asking a question in Ask SwingVantage never changes it.

What if the analysis is not sure what my main problem is?

Then it says so. A fix built on weak evidence is shown with its low confidence, and when the clip could not support a read at all, the most useful next step is a better recording rather than practice.

More detail

Some weak evidence never becomes a fix at all. If the clip does not hold up the evidence behind the top finding, that fix is withheld and you are asked to re-film. If a whole area such as rotation could not be read, a fix picked from the rest says so and is held at low confidence.

A quick estimate from answers alone is labeled as a lower-confidence estimate for the same reason. Re-filming with the recording fixes the quality check gave you is usually the fastest way to a fix you can trust.

What if I or my coach disagree with my One Fix?

Check the evidence first: open the visual proof and the confidence for the finding. If the capture was weak or the angle could not see the movement well, re-film. If the evidence looks solid and your coach still sees it differently, follow your coach.

More detail

SwingVantage is a practice assistant, not an authority over a qualified coach who can watch you in person. A retest under the same conditions is the fair way to settle whether a change made a difference.
