What you'll learn

  • How to compare two of your own sessions
  • How to read yourself against benchmarks fairly
  • How comparison confirms a fix worked

Before you start

  • A few saved sessions — trends get meaningful after about five.
  • The same sport selected so you are comparing like with like.

Step by step

  1. Comparing to benchmarks

    SwingVantage includes benchmark data from professional players and published sport science. Compare your carry distance, spin rate, and other metrics to see where you stand.

  2. Session-to-session comparison

    Select two of your own sessions to compare them side by side. This is useful for checking whether a swing change improved or hurt your numbers.

Common mistakes

  • Reading a trend from one or two sessions.

    Give it about five sessions before treating a line as a real trend.

  • 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.

Full transcript
  1. Compare your metrics to data, or two of your own sessions side by side.
  2. Session-to-session comparison is perfect for checking whether a actually helped.
  3. Benchmarks give context — where you stand and what “good” looks like at your level.
  4. Use it to settle the question: did that adjustment move the numbers, or just feel different?
