What you'll learn

  • How to turn on and use RecordAssist
  • The angle, distance, and framing that make a clip readable
  • How to pick the best rep to submit

Before you start

  • Your sport selected so the analysis applies the right checkpoints.
  • 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.

Step by step

  1. Turn on RecordAssist

    Open the upload flow and enable RecordAssist before you film so the on-screen guides appear.

    Why it matters:Why
    The guides prevent the framing mistakes that force a re-shoot.

  2. Place your camera

    Follow the guide to set your camera down-the-line or face-on, at the recommended distance.

    What good looks like:Good
    Your whole body fits comfortably in frame with a little room around you.

  3. Line up your body

    Adjust so your entire body stays in frame through the whole swing, not just at address.

    Common mistake:Avoid
    Cropping your hands or club at the top of the swing.

  4. Record a few reps

    Film two or three reps in even light, facing your light source rather than being backlit.

  5. Submit the clearest rep

    Review your clips and send the sharpest, best-framed one for analysis.

Common 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.
