What you'll learn

  • Which profile details matter most
  • Why a beginner and an advanced player need different feedback
  • How your profile personalizes your plan

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. Golf profile

    For golf, enter your handicap, scoring average, what you tend to miss, and your skill level. This helps SwingVantage focus its feedback on what matters most for your game.

  2. Non-golf profiles

    For Tennis, Baseball, and Softball, fill in your position, swing side, competition level, and equipment details. Each sport has its own profile so your data stays organized.

  3. Why this matters

    SwingVantage uses your profile to personalize every recommendation, drill, and diagnostic. A beginner golfer needs different feedback than an advanced player.

  4. Your profile is included in backups

    All your profile data is included when you download a backup from the Data Center. You can restore it later on any device.

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.
