What you'll learn

  • How to film each stroke type
  • What SwingVantage checks in your stroke
  • How to turn the result into practice

Before you start

  • Tennis selected as your sport, with the stroke chosen.
  • A view showing your full body and racket path.
  • Even light so your motion is clear.

Step by step

  1. Recording your stroke

    Film from a stable position that shows your full body and racket path. A face-on or slight angle view works best for most strokes.

  2. Stroke types

    Choose the stroke type before uploading — serve, forehand, backhand, or volley. This helps SwingVantage apply the right checkpoints.

  3. What gets analyzed

    SwingVantage identifies issues in your preparation, swing path, contact point, and follow-through. It also checks your footwork and balance.

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.
