What you'll learn

  • How rankings are actually calculated
  • How your privacy is protected
  • Why improvement counts more than raw numbers

Before you start

  • A SwingVantage session open in your browser — no account required to start.
  • Your sport selected, so feedback matches your game.

Step by step

  1. How rankings work

    Rankings are based on improvement percentage, session consistency, challenge points, and data discipline (how regularly you back up your data) — not just raw performance numbers.

  2. Privacy controls

    Your real name is never shown on public leaderboards unless you choose to display it. By default you appear as an anonymous athlete. You can opt out of leaderboards entirely in your privacy settings.

  3. Youth athlete protection

    If your profile is marked as a youth athlete, extra privacy protections apply. Youth athletes are not ranked against adult athletes.

Common mistakes

  • 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.

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.
