Step by step
How to earn badges
Badges are earned automatically when you reach the required goal. For example, completing your first session earns the "First Steps" badge. Maintaining a 7-day streak earns the "Week Warrior" badge.
Badge categories
Badges are organized by category — Consistency, Improvement, Personal Bests, Sport Mastery, Data Protection, and more. Each category represents a different aspect of athletic development.
Data Protection badges
A special category of badges rewards you for regularly protecting your training data. Backing up your SwingVantage data is treated as part of being a serious athlete.
Locked badges
Locked badges show what's still possible. They include a progress bar showing how close you are to earning them. Use this as a guide for what to focus on next.

Trying to change everything at once.
Follow the one-fix idea: work a single priority, then retest before moving on.
Skipping the retest, so you never confirm the change stuck.
Re-record the same way after practicing and compare against where you started.

SwingVantage is honest about certainty: findings are labeled by how they were produced and how confident they are. Treat them as a strong starting point you confirm with your own retest, not a final verdict.
