What you'll learn
- Import your numbers from a CSV or a photo of the screen
- Review the mapped metrics and fix any mismatches before saving
- Turn a saved session into a ranked diagnosis
- Track carry, spin, and consistency over time and retest
Before you start
- Golf selected in SwingVantage
- A launch-monitor CSV export, or a clear photo of the monitor screen
Step by step
Start on the Import screen
If your monitor exports a CSV — FlightScope, Trackman, SkyTrak and more — drag the file in. No file? Snap a clear photo of the screen instead.
- Why it matters:Why
- Getting the numbers in cleanly is what powers everything downstream.
Review the column mapping
SwingVantage maps the columns to the right metrics — carry, ball speed, launch, spin, and more. Review the preview and fix any mismatches.
- What good looks like:Good
- Every column lined up to the right metric.
- Common mistake:Avoid
- Saving before checking, so a misread number pollutes your history.
Save it as a session
Save the reviewed import as a session. From here, your data powers the rest of the loop.
- Why it matters:Why
- A clean saved session is the foundation your diagnosis and trends are built on.
Diagnose and prioritize
Open Diagnose to see the patterns in your numbers, ranked by what to fix first, each with a confidence level.
- Common mistake:Avoid
- Trying to fix every number at once instead of the one that explains the most.
Track trends, then retest
Head to Progress to watch carry, spin, and consistency trend over time, turn the top issue into drills, and retest to prove the change moved the numbers.
- Why it matters:Why
- The retest is what confirms a change actually worked rather than a lucky session.

Trust & accuracy
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.
Frequently asked
Which launch monitors are supported?
Any monitor that exports a CSV — FlightScope, Trackman, SkyTrak and more — and if yours does not export a file, you can import from a photo of the screen.
What is the most honest distance number to track?
Carry, because total roll depends on the ground rather than your swing. Track carry and let Diagnose rank what to fix.

- Here is the full workflow for using SwingVantage with your launch monitor — from raw numbers to a practice plan.
- Start on the Import screen. If your monitor exports a CSV — FlightScope, Trackman, SkyTrak and more — drag the file in.
- SwingVantage maps the columns to the right metrics: carry, ball speed, launch, spin, and more. Review the preview and fix any mismatches.
- No file? Snap a clear photo of the monitor screen and SwingVantage reads the numbers for you — always double-check them before saving.
- Save it as a session. From here, your data powers everything else.
- Open Diagnose to see the patterns in your numbers, ranked by what to fix first, each with a confidence level.
- Head to Progress to watch carry, spin, and consistency trend over time as you add more sessions.
- Then turn the top issue into focused drills, and retest later to prove the change actually moved the numbers.
