Motion Lab
Go deeper than video — a 3D, frame-by-frame kinematic breakdown of how your body actually moves through the swing.Last updated
In short
Motion Lab tracks your body through your video, right on your device, and builds a 3D model of how you move. You can then examine rotation, sequencing, and body positions frame by frame — the analytical deep end of SwingVantage.
Step by step
- 1
Open Motion Lab
Go to swingvantage.com/motion-lab/studio — your uploaded swing feeds it automatically, no re-upload.
- 2
Step through the motion
Scrub frame by frame to see your body positions at each phase of the swing.
- 3
Read the kinematics
Examine rotation, sequencing, and how your body parts move in relation to each other.
- 4
Tie it to your fix
Use what you see to reinforce your top fix and the drills that groove it.
What Motion Lab adds
Where your written analysis tells you the one thing to fix, Motion Lab lets you see the mechanics behind it in 3D. Pose tracking maps your body and builds a kinematic model you can rotate and step through.
Who it’s for
Players, parents, and coaches who want the detail behind the diagnosis. You do not need it to improve — your one fix is enough — but it is there when you want to dig in.
How accurate is it?
Every result that comes from watching your video is a well-reasoned starting point, not a lab measurement. Treat it like a sharp-eyed coach giving you their read, then check it when you practice.
Accuracy depends on what you give it. A clear, well-lit, side-on video of a full swing produces a far better report than a dark, cropped, or partial clip.
When the analysis is unsure, it tells you so rather than inventing a number. Honesty over false precision is a core principle.
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.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need to upload again for Motion Lab?
No. One upload feeds your written analysis, your 3D avatar, and Motion Lab together.
Is this a real measurement?
It is a model built from pose tracking — a sharp, detailed read, but still an estimate from video rather than a lab capture. Use it to understand mechanics, not as a certified number.
Do I need Motion Lab to improve?
No — your one fix and drills are enough. Motion Lab is for when you want to understand the mechanics in depth.
More answers, with the detail behind them, are in the SwingVantage FAQ.
