What you'll learn

  • How to read severity and confidence on each finding
  • Why SwingVantage points you at one priority, not ten
  • How a heuristic read differs from AI-enhanced analysis

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. Select a session to analyze

    Choose the session you want to analyze. SwingVantage will look at your shot patterns and identify the most significant issues.

  2. Understanding issues

    Each identified issue is listed with a severity level (Critical, High, Medium, Low) and a confidence score. Critical issues have the biggest impact on your performance.

  3. What the scores mean

    Your swing score is an overall rating of your session quality. A higher score means more consistent, efficient shots. It is meant to track trends, not define your ability.

  4. Recommended drills

    Based on your diagnosed issues, SwingVantage recommends specific drills. These are targeted to fix what the analysis found — not generic exercises.

  5. Tracking improvement over time

    Every time you run diagnostics on a new session, SwingVantage compares your results to previous sessions. This shows whether your key issues are improving.

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.
