What you'll learn

  • What on-device (heuristic) feedback is and when to trust it
  • What AI-enhanced analysis adds
  • How confidence labels and video quality fit together

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. Start with the on-device read

    SwingVantage first uses proven rules on your device — instant, private, and always available.

  2. Add AI when you want more

    Turn on AI-enhanced analysis for a second, richer look at the same swing.

  3. Read the labels

    Every finding is tagged by how it was produced and how confident it is.

    Why it matters:Why
    The label tells you how much weight to give it.

  4. Mind the video quality

    Clearer clips raise confidence; lower-quality clips are marked so nothing is oversold.

  5. Confirm with a retest

    Whichever you use, a retest is what turns feedback into proof.

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.
