Transcript & step-by-step

  1. Swing path is the direction your club or bat is travelling through impact — and it is one of the biggest reasons the ball curves.
  2. In SwingVantage you will see your path described as in-to-out, out-to-in, or down-the-line.
  3. Out-to-in tends to start the ball left or produce a ; in-to-out tends to go right or draw. Your path together with the face direction explains the shape.
  4. Open Diagnose to see your path read for a session, with a confidence level so you know how much to trust it.
  5. For a visual, Motion Lab traces your body and club through the swing in 3D, so you can actually see the path, not just read it.
  6. Remember: a visual path read is a smart estimate, not a launch-monitor measurement — use it to spot the pattern.
  7. Once you know your path, the Drill Library filters to path-focused drills that nudge it back toward neutral.
  8. Re-check after a few sessions to confirm the change is sticking — that is the honest way to know it worked.
