Player Profile
The Player Profile is the persistent record of an athlete's sport, skill level, swing history, fault patterns, progress metrics, and linked sessions that SwingVantage uses to personalize every analysis and recommendation.
When you set up a profile — choosing your sport, skill level, and any optional handicap or rating — SwingVantage has a starting context for personalizing benchmarks and recommendations. As you add sessions, the profile accumulates your swing history, detected fault patterns, and retest outcomes. Recommendations become sharper over time because the system has more signal. The profile page also hosts the Skill Tree, the arc (progress) chart, and links to all past reports.
Example
A profile set to Golf / Intermediate with a GHIN of 12 receives iron benchmarks tuned for mid-handicap; the same metrics on a beginner profile trigger different thresholds.
