Launch Monitor CSV Import

Import CSV exports from FlightScope, TrackMan, Foresight GCQuad, Garmin Approach, Rapsodo, SkyTrak, and other common formats. A 7-step wizard walks you through column mapping and session setup.

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 recognises different column-name conventions, converts units (mph/kph, yards/metres), 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. 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. 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 recognises the format.

  3. 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. 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. 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 handles different column name formats and unit conversions automatically.

  • 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 customised 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?

Yes — the normalizer converts units automatically based on the detected or selected format, so you can mix devices and regions without breaking your history.
