What you'll learn

  • Which angle to film for what you want to see
  • What SwingVantage checks in a golf swing
  • How to turn the result into your one fix

Before you start

  • Golf selected as your sport.
  • A down-the-line or face-on clip with your whole body and the club in frame.
  • Even light with no strong backlight behind you.

Step by step

  1. Recording a good swing video

    Film from a stable position directly down-the-line (behind you, pointing at the target) or face-on (in front of you). Keep the whole body in frame and avoid backlit backgrounds.

  2. What gets analyzed

    SwingVantage identifies key swing phases (address, takeaway, top of backswing, downswing, impact, follow-through) and checks for common faults in each phase.

  3. Understanding your results

    Each identified issue includes a severity rating and a plain-language explanation. The overall swing score rates your session.

  4. Video analysis is included in backups

    Your video analysis results (scores, issues, notes) are included in your SwingVantage backup. The video file itself is not included — only the analysis results.

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.
