Why a glossary

Good coaching is clear coaching. The Glossary explains the language used in your diagnosis and drills, so you can look up any word that is unfamiliar.

Built for every sport

It covers swing and analysis terms across golf, tennis, baseball, softball, pickleball, padel and cricket, plus the Analysis Concepts behind how SwingVantage reads a swing.

Your video and your privacy

Your swing is yours. Motion Lab reads it on your device: body tracking runs in your browser, and your video file is not uploaded for analysis.

Frames from your video leave your device only through optional features you choose. The AI vision review, which you start yourself, sends a small sample of still frames to a third-party AI provider; our servers pass them through without storing them. If your device cannot read a clip, you can agree to an optional cloud re-read of a limited set of still frames.

We do not sell your data or use it for advertising. When you sign in, your sessions, progress and saved analyses are kept in your private account and synced across your devices. A saved analysis can include one still frame for its swing trace. Your video files are not uploaded unless you choose to share one for training, an optional box offered only to signed-in adults filming themselves.

You can review, export, or delete what you create from the Data Center at any time.
