What you'll learn

  • Where to film from for a baseball swing
  • What SwingVantage checks in your mechanics
  • How to turn the result into practice

Before you start

  • Baseball selected as your sport.
  • A face-on (behind the plate) or side view with your full swing in frame.
  • Even light so your body and bat path are clear.

Step by step

  1. Recording your swing

    Film from directly behind the pitcher (face-on view) or from the side. Make sure your full swing path is visible.

  2. What gets analyzed

    SwingVantage checks your load, stride, hip rotation, hand path, contact point, and extension. It identifies timing faults and mechanics issues.

Common mistakes

  • Filming from too far away or with your body partly out of frame.

    Fill the frame with your whole body and keep the camera steady and level.

  • Using the wrong camera angle for what you want to see.

    Down-the-line shows path and plane; face-on shows contact and posture.

  • Expecting lab-grade precision from a phone clip.

    Treat the read as a confident starting point, not a measurement — clearer video raises confidence.

Trust & accuracy

SwingVantage leads with a fast, on-device read (heuristics) and adds AI-enhanced analysis when you turn it on. Both are decision support, not a biomechanics lab — clearer video raises confidence, and lower-quality clips are labeled as such. Use the feedback to pick one thing to work on, then let a retest confirm it.
