Retesting Your Swing
Close the loop — upload a fresh swing and prove the fix actually worked, instead of guessing.

Retesting is how SwingVantage proves progress. After working your fix, you upload a new swing and it compares the before and after, so improvement is something you can see — the final step in one fix, one plan, one retest.
Step by step
- 1
Work your fix first
Spend a week or two on your top fix and its drills before retesting — change shows up over sessions, not reps.
- 2
Film the same way
Use the same angle, distance, and lighting as your first swing so the comparison is fair.
- 3
Upload your retest
Open /retest (or upload a new swing) and SwingVantage knows to compare it against your earlier baseline.
- 4
Read the comparison
See whether your fix moved, what improved, and what to focus on next.
- 5
Set your next fix
If the fix took hold, your next-priority change becomes the new focus. The loop continues.
Why retesting matters
Improvement you cannot measure is just hope. Retesting turns “I think it is better” into “here is the before and after.”
It is the third part of the core promise — one fix, one plan, one retest — and it is what keeps you honest and motivated.
How to retest well
- Give the fix real time before retesting — a week or two, not a day.
- Match your filming setup to the original swing so you compare like with like.
- Retest one fix at a time so you know what actually changed.
What happens after a retest
If your fix took hold, SwingVantage moves you on to your next-highest-priority change, so you are always working the most valuable thing. If it has not moved yet, it helps you adjust before moving on.
How accurate is it?
Every result that comes from watching your video is a confident, well-reasoned starting point — not a lab measurement. Treat it like a sharp-eyed coach giving you their read, then confirm it on the range or court.
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. To generate a report, frames from your video are sent securely to our AI analysis provider — that is what reads your body positions and motion.
We do not sell your data and we do not run ads. Your sessions are tied to your private account and synced across your devices so you can pick up where you left off.
You can review, export, or delete what you create from the Data center at any time.
Frequently asked questions
When should I retest?
After a week or two of working your fix and its drills. Change shows up over sessions, so retesting every rep just adds noise.
How does the comparison work?
You upload a fresh swing and SwingVantage compares it to your earlier baseline, highlighting what moved so you can see real progress.
What if the fix did not work?
That is useful information. It usually means the change needs more reps or a small adjustment — SwingVantage helps you decide whether to keep going or tweak your approach.
What kind of video gives the best results?
Film from the side (down-the-line or face-on), in good light, with your whole body and the full swing in frame. Hold the phone steady or prop it up. A 3–10 second clip of one swing is ideal — you do not need slow motion.
