What it is
Motion Lab is SwingVantage’s most advanced analysis surface: it reconstructs your swing as a rotatable 3D figure you can spin, slow down, and step through frame by frame — all from a phone clip, all on your own device. Alongside the 3D view you get a phase-by-phase breakdown and scores for power, rotation, balance, sequencing, timing, and consistency, plus your top three fixes and a practice plan.
The current mode runs in your browser using on-device pose tracking, so the source is not uploaded for this analysis. Motion Lab may keep a bounded browser-local clip cache for recent replay and recovery. A single camera produces an estimated depth read; two synchronized angles improve relative depth through triangulation but do not establish metric scale on their own. Every score carries its evidence so you know how literally to take it.
Motion Lab is built for performance coaching, not clinical assessment — it makes no medical, injury, or tour-grade claims. It is the bridge between a quick video read and a true biomechanics session, available to anyone with a phone.
Who it’s for
- Players who want a 3D, multi-dimensional view without studio equipment
- Athletes ready to go deeper than a single-angle video read
How to take full advantage
A step-by-step guide to getting everything out of Motion Lab (3D).
- 1
Film a clean single-camera rep
Record one full swing, full body in frame, steady and well-lit. Run it through Motion Lab for an estimated 3D reconstruction and scores.
- 2
Spin and step through the 3D figure
Rotate the model to angles you can’t film in real life, slow it down, and step phase by phase to see your sequencing and rotation.
- 3
Read your six scores and top 3 fixes
Review power, rotation, balance, sequencing, timing, and consistency, then focus on the top three fixes it surfaces — not all six scores at once.
- 4
Improve depth with two angles
For higher-fidelity relative depth, film the same rep from two synchronized cameras about 90° apart and run the two-camera mode. The result stays estimated until metric calibration passes.
- 5
Work the practice plan, then re-film
Follow the generated plan for a week, then re-run Motion Lab to see whether your scores and sequencing improved.
Pro tips
- →Two steady phones about 90° apart can improve relative depth; verified metric calibration requires additional camera and scale checks.
- →Compare the same rep type each time (e.g. full driver) so scores stay comparable.
Good to know
The current Motion Lab mode runs privately on your own device. One camera gives estimated depth; two synchronized angles improve relative depth but remain estimated unless a verified metric calibration passes. No medical, injury, or tour-grade claims.
- • Single-camera 3D is an estimate; treat the values as directional until you capture two angles.
- • Performance coaching only — no medical, injury, or tour-grade biomechanics claims.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need special equipment for the 3D view?
No. One phone gives an estimated 3D reconstruction. A second synchronized view can improve depth through triangulation, but metric measurement requires a verified calibration. Everything runs on your device.
Is my video sent anywhere for Motion Lab?
In the current on-device mode, Motion Lab’s pose tracking and reconstruction run locally in your browser and do not upload the source. A bounded browser-local clip cache may keep the recent clip for replay and recovery.

Swing Video Upload
Upload a video of your swing from the face-on, down-the-line, or sport-specific angle. SwingVantage segments the video into phases and provides coaching notes for each phase.
Phase-by-Phase Timeline
Each sport has its own swing phases. Golf: address, backswing, transition, downswing, impact, follow-through. Tennis, pickleball, padel, baseball, and softball have sport-appropriate phases.
AI Diagnostic Engine
A rules-based engine compares your data against sport-specific benchmarks and identifies your highest-priority swing fault — ranked by severity, confidence, and impact on performance.
