  1. Account & DataMajor milestone

    Automatic Backups — SwingVantage Saves Your Progress For You

    SwingVantage can now protect your progress on its own. Pick a file once and SwingVantage keeps it up to date automatically in the background. Choose a folder once (your Downloads works great) and when you come back, SwingVantage finds your most recent backup and picks up right where you left off — no hunting for a file, no manual import.

    What this means for you

    Your training history protects itself in the background, and returning after clearing your browser — or on another computer — can continue automatically from your latest backup instead of starting over.

    Why it matters

    The safest backup is the one you never have to remember to make. Automatic saving means months of progress are quietly protected, and automatic continue means getting back to improving takes seconds, not setup.

    Where to find it: Go to Data Center → Automatic backups. Turn on auto-save and pick a file, and/or choose a folder to continue from.

    Action: A quick one-time setup: choose the file to keep saved and/or the folder to continue from. Available in Chrome, Edge, and other Chromium browsers on a computer; other browsers keep the manual Download/Import backup tools. SwingVantage only uses the file or folder you pick, and never replaces existing data without asking.

  2. Account & Data

    Password-Protect Your Backups With Encryption

    You can now set a password when you export your SwingVantage backup. With a password, SwingVantage saves a securely encrypted backup file, and asks for that password when you restore it. Plain, unencrypted backups still work exactly as before if you prefer them.

    What this means for you

    Your exported training history can be locked with a password, so a backup file stays private even if it ends up somewhere you did not intend.

    Why it matters

    A backup holds your whole training identity. Optional encryption lets you keep a personal copy with real protection, without giving up the simplicity of a regular backup when you do not need it.

    Where to find it: Go to Data Center or Settings → Backup & Restore, and set a password when you export.

    Action: Optional — choose a password at export time if you want an encrypted backup. Keep it safe; it cannot be recovered if lost.

  3. New Feature🏅All Sports

    A Friendly On-Screen Guide That Follows Along

    SwingVantage now has an always-available guide companion that gives gentle, plain-language pointers as you move through the app, plus a setup overlay that helps you position yourself before you record or analyze a swing. It is there when you want help and easy to dismiss when you do not.

    What this means for you

    You get friendly, in-context nudges about what to do next and how to set up — especially helpful when you are new or helping a young athlete get started.

    Why it matters

    A little guidance at the right moment beats a wall of instructions. A companion that points you to the next step keeps you moving instead of getting stuck.

    Where to find it: It appears as you use SwingVantage; the setup overlay shows up when you are about to record or analyze a swing.

    Action: None — you can follow its tips or dismiss it anytime.

  4. New Feature🏅All Sports

    New Video Tutorial Center — Tailored to Players, Parents, and Coaches

    SwingVantage now has a Tutorial Center with short walkthrough videos, organized into tracks for players, parents, and coaches. Pick the track that fits you and learn exactly how to get the most out of the features that matter to your role.

    What this means for you

    You can learn SwingVantage at your own pace with short videos chosen for your role — no hunting through a generic help center.

    Why it matters

    People learn differently. Role-specific video tracks help a brand-new player, a supportive parent, or a coach each get up to speed quickly on the parts of SwingVantage that matter to them.

    Where to find it: Go to Tutorial Center from the navigation, then choose your track.

    Action: None — it is there whenever you want it.

  5. Mobile Experience🏅All Sports

    Your Analysis Keeps Running While You Explore the App

    Long swing analyses now keep running in the background. You can move to another page, check your history, or set up your next session while SwingVantage finishes — and you will be notified the moment your results are ready, instead of having to sit and wait on one screen.

    What this means for you

    You are no longer stuck staring at a loading screen. Start an analysis, keep using SwingVantage, and get told when it is done.

    Why it matters

    Swing analysis can take a little time. Letting it run in the background means an accidental tap or a switch to another page no longer loses your progress, which makes the whole app feel more reliable.

    Where to find it: Start any swing analysis, then keep using the app — a task indicator tracks it and alerts you when it finishes.

    Action: None — it works automatically.

  6. Training Improvement🏅All Sports

    Choose Faster or More Thorough Swing Analysis

    When you analyze a swing video, you can now pick how fast you want results. Choose a quicker read when you just want the headline, or a more thorough pass when you want the full picture. SwingVantage also gets a head start preparing your video so results come back sooner.

    What this means for you

    You control the trade-off between speed and depth, and analyses generally come back faster than before.

    Why it matters

    At the range you often just want a quick read; at home you might want the deep version. Giving you the choice — and speeding things up overall — keeps the tool useful in the moment.

    Where to find it: Go to the Video page and pick your analysis speed before you run it.

    Action: None — there is a sensible default if you do not change it.

  7. Data & Insights🏅All Sports

    Snap a Photo of Your Numbers — Now for Every Sport

    No file to export? Take a photo or screenshot of the numbers on your launch monitor, app, or printout and import them straight into SwingVantage. It now works for every sport, and you always review and edit each value before anything is analyzed.

    What this means for you

    You can get your numbers into SwingVantage from a simple photo or screenshot — no special file required — and you stay in control because you confirm every value before it counts.

    Why it matters

    Plenty of players only ever see their numbers on a screen or a printout. Letting you start from a photo removes that barrier, while keeping you in charge: SwingVantage reads the numbers to save you typing, but it never analyzes anything you have not reviewed.

    Where to find it: Go to Sessions → Import from Screenshot/Photo, then upload your image and review the values.

    Action: None — manual entry is always available too; the photo step is an optional shortcut.

  8. New Feature🏅All SportsMajor milestone

    Record Your Swing Right Inside SwingVantage

    You no longer need a separate camera app. SwingVantage can now record your swing directly in the app — switch between your front and back camera, and follow a simple on-screen guide that shows where to stand and how to frame yourself so your analysis gets a clean look at your motion.

    What this means for you

    You can capture a swing and analyze it without leaving SwingVantage — and the framing guide helps you stand in the right spot so your results are based on a clear view.

    Why it matters

    Getting a usable swing video is the first hurdle for most people. Recording in-app, with help on where to stand, removes the fiddly setup and makes good analysis far easier — especially for a parent filming a young athlete.

    Where to find it: Go to the Video page and choose Record instead of Upload.

    Action: None — uploading a video still works exactly as before; recording is simply a new option.

  9. Training Improvement🏅All Sports

    Motion Lab Now Reads Your Real Body Turn in 3D

    Motion Lab's 3D analysis now measures your shoulder and hip turn through depth — the way rotation actually happens — instead of estimating it from a flat, head-on view. That means more honest numbers for your turn, the separation between your hips and shoulders, and how your power builds from the ground up, plus a new 'rotation vs. slide' read.

    What this means for you

    Your 3D motion scores for body rotation are now more accurate — especially from a straight-on video — so the feedback about your turn and your power sequence better reflects what your body is really doing.

    Why it matters

    A flat video hides rotation, because turning happens in depth, not side to side. Now that Motion Lab reads that depth, its take on your turn and sequencing is more trustworthy — and it stays honest, lowering its confidence when a single camera cannot see enough instead of guessing.

    Where to find it: Go to Analyze > Motion Lab (3D), upload or record a clip, and open your phase-by-phase breakdown.

    Action: None — every new Motion Lab analysis uses the improved 3D reading. For the sharpest numbers, film the same rep from two angles about 90 degrees apart and SwingVantage will combine them.

  10. New Feature🏅All Sports

    See Your Dashboard as a Player, Parent, or Coach

    You can now switch your dashboard between Player, Parent, and Coach views right from the top of the page. Choose Parent and SwingVantage shows a simple, supportive summary with at-home practice ideas; choose Coach for a more technical read. It is one shared setting, so your choice sticks across the app.

    What this means for you

    The same data, shown the way that is most useful to you. A parent sees encouraging, jargon-free guidance and at-home drills; a coach sees the technical picture; a player sees their clear next step.

    Why it matters

    A player, a parent, and a coach all need different things from the same swing. Letting you switch views — and giving parents their own supportive summary — helps families and coaches actually work together.

    Where to find it: Open your Dashboard and use the Player / Parent / Coach switcher near the top.

    Action: None — your view is remembered and matches your Settings.

  11. New Feature🏅All Sports

    Brand-New Athletes Get a Guided First Swing

    When you are brand new to SwingVantage — before you have logged a single session — your dashboard now greets you with a simple, guided path to your very first swing analysis instead of an empty screen.

    What this means for you

    You do not have to figure out where to begin. The moment you arrive, SwingVantage shows you one clear, friendly step to capture and understand your first swing.

    Why it matters

    The hardest moment for any new app is the very first screen. A guided first swing removes the guesswork so new players — and parents setting things up for a young athlete — can get a real result in minutes.

    Where to find it: Open your Dashboard before logging any sessions. You will see a guided 'start your first swing' card front and center.

    Action: None — it appears automatically the first time you open SwingVantage.

  12. Data & InsightsGolf

    Upload a Photo of a Data Table and Get Coaching Insights

    You can now take a picture of a performance data table — from a launch monitor report, a printed summary, or a screenshot — and SwingVantage will help turn it into coaching insights.

    What this means for you

    You can work with data tables even if you do not have the original digital file. A phone photo is enough to start your analysis.

    Why it matters

    Many players receive paper reports or screenshots of their data and have no way to use that information digitally. This removes that barrier.

    Where to find it: Go to Sessions, tap Import Data, and choose the image option.
