What it is
If you own or rent time on a launch monitor, this is the fastest way to turn its raw export into a full diagnosis. SwingVantage reads CSV files from the major brands — FlightScope, TrackMan, Foresight GCQuad, Garmin Approach, Rapsodo, SkyTrak and more — and a 7-step wizard guides you through mapping columns and setting up the session.
The normalizer does the tedious part: it recognizes different column-name conventions and reconciles the dozens of ways brands label the same metric. The result is a clean, comparable dataset the Diagnostic Engine can read regardless of which device produced it.
Because the mapping is remembered, your second import from the same device is nearly one-click — SwingVantage reuses the column layout it learned the first time.
Who it’s for
- Golfers with access to a launch monitor at a range, studio, or at home
- Players who want diagnosis from measured ball/club data rather than video estimates
How to take full advantage
A step-by-step guide to getting everything out of Launch Monitor CSV Import.
- 1
Export a CSV from your device
On your launch monitor or its app, export the session as CSV. Most brands have a share/export option; you do not need a special format.
- 2
Start the import wizard
Open SwingVantage → import, choose the CSV, and let the wizard auto-detect the source. It pre-fills the column mapping when it recognizes the format.
- 3
Confirm the column mapping
Check that each column (carry, ball speed, club path, face angle, etc.) is mapped to the right field. Adjust any it could not auto-detect — it learns your choices for next time.
- 4
Set the session context
Tag the club(s), conditions, and what you were working on. Context sharpens the diagnosis and makes session history more useful.
- 5
Review and run the diagnosis
Confirm the parsed shots look right, save, and open your diagnosis. Re-importing from the same device later reuses this mapping automatically.
Pro tips
- →Keep the same export settings between sessions so the learned mapping keeps working and your data stays comparable.
- →Import shorter, focused blocks (e.g. one club at a time) when diagnosing a specific issue.
Good to know
The normalizer recognizes different column-name formats automatically. Export in yards and mph where your device allows it.
- • Quality of diagnosis depends on the quality and quantity of shots in the file — a handful of warm-up swings is not enough for a confident read.
- • Exotic or heavily customized CSV layouts may need a manual column mapping the first time.
Frequently asked questions
My launch monitor isn’t in the list — can I still import?
Yes. The wizard lets you map columns manually for any CSV, and it remembers the mapping so subsequent imports are quick. Most "unsupported" devices work fine this way.
Does it handle metric and imperial units?
Only partly. The importer reads distances as yards and speeds as mph. It converts one case automatically: Foresight carry and total distances exported in meters. So set your device or app to yards and mph before exporting, and keep one unit setting across sessions so your history stays comparable.
