What you'll learn

  • How to film a padel shot, including wall play
  • What it checks that is specific to padel
  • How to turn the result into practice

Before you start

  • Your sport selected so the analysis applies the right checkpoints.
  • A swing clip filmed down-the-line or face-on, with your whole body in frame.
  • Good, even lighting — avoid strong backlight that hides your body outline.

Step by step

  1. Pick your sport and shot

    Choose Padel, then the shot — bandeja, víbora, smash, volley, lob, or wall play.

  2. Film side-on with wall reps

    Shoot side-on so your overhead motion and contact height show; include a few back-glass reps for your wall read.

  3. Capture a few of the same shot

    Film several reps of one shot so the pattern is clear.

  4. Upload and read

    SwingVantage checks overhead control, giving the ball space off the glass, contact point, lob depth, and net positioning.

  5. Practice and retest

    Follow your priority and drills, then retest in a week.

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.
