- 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.

Try it nowCommon 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.
Frequently asked
Does Motion Lab need special equipment?
No — a normal phone video works. It runs on your device; clearer, well-lit footage from a steady angle gives a more confident read.
Full transcript
- Motion Lab estimates your body’s motion in 3D, right in the browser, from a normal video.
- Record or upload a swing and SwingVantage tracks key body points through the movement.
- Use it to see rotation, sequence, and timing that are hard to judge with the naked eye.
- Like all visual analysis, it’s an estimate — great for spotting patterns and comparing before/after.
