What you'll learn

  • How fast-pitch timing changes what to look for
  • What SwingVantage checks in your swing
  • How to turn the result into practice

Before you start

  • Fast-Pitch Softball selected as your sport.
  • A face-on or side view with your full swing in frame.
  • Even light so your body and bat path are clear.

Step by step

  1. Slow pitch vs. fast pitch

    SwingVantage applies different analysis criteria depending on your softball type. Make sure your sport profile is set to the correct format before uploading.

  2. What gets analyzed

    SwingVantage checks your load, stride timing, hip-to-shoulder separation, bat path, and contact zone. Different issues matter more for slow pitch vs. fast pitch.

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.
