What you'll learn

  • How to read your key trend charts
  • Which metrics matter for your sport
  • Why five-plus sessions make trends trustworthy

Before you start

  • A few saved sessions — trends get meaningful after about five.
  • The same sport selected so you are comparing like with like.

Step by step

  1. Reading the charts

    Each chart shows a metric over time — such as carry distance, swing score, or face-to-path. An upward trend in positive metrics means you're improving.

  2. Sport-specific metrics

    The metrics shown depend on your active sport. Golf metrics (carry, spin rate, smash factor) are different from baseball metrics (exit velocity, launch angle) and tennis metrics.

  3. Why session volume matters

    Progress charts become more meaningful with more sessions. Five or more sessions in a category shows reliable trends. Early charts may show variation rather than true trends.

Common mistakes

  • Reading a trend from one or two sessions.

    Give it about five sessions before treating a line as a real trend.

  • 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.

Frequently asked

Why do my early charts look bumpy?

Small samples swing around. Give it about five sessions before treating a line as a real trend rather than day-to-day variation.
