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 practise 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.

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 practise, 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 finding that fixing would help most, weighed against how confident the evidence is. The rules are also designed to favour a change that is practical and safe to work on, quick to retest, and relevant to the problem you named.

More detail
  • Impact — how much the change is likely to improve the outcome you care about.
  • Confidence — a well-supported finding beats a shaky one.
  • Practicality — a change that is easier to practise ranks ahead of one that is hard to work on alone.
  • Safety — movement that could put strain on the body counts in the ranking.
  • Retestable — something you can re-film and check within days.
  • Relevance — it relates to the problem you said you wanted to solve.

The ranking 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 practise.

More detail

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

Why do I need an account to see my One Fix?

A One Fix is only useful if it is still there when you practise and retest, which means it has to be saved to you. The account is free, and your analysis carries straight over when you create it.

More detail

Without an account you can still see the summary, the visual proof and the main issue — including the evidence and confidence behind it. The account unlocks the fix, the practice plan, the retest and report downloads.

Can my One Fix change?

Yes, but not at random. Each new analysis shows its own One 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

A quick estimate from answers alone is labelled 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.
