  1. Multi-Sport Expansion🏅All SportsMajor milestone

    SwingVantage Now Supports 7 Sports — Pickleball and Padel Are Here

    Pickleball and padel are now first-class SwingVantage sports — not tennis with new labels. Each has its own diagnostic engine that understands the game: compact paddle mechanics, dinks, and third-shot drops with kitchen play in pickleball; wall play, the bandeja, and doubles positioning in padel. Both come with sport-specific drills, paddle equipment guidance, benchmarks, and a live Athletic Journey. That brings SwingVantage to seven sports.

    What this means for you

    If you play pickleball or padel, you now get the same depth SwingVantage gives golfers and tennis players: coaching that speaks your sport, drills matched to your faults, paddle guidance, benchmarks, and a stage-by-stage development pathway. Multi-sport athletes can analyze all seven sports in one place.

    Why it matters

    Pickleball and padel are among the fastest-growing racket sports in the world, and their mechanics are genuinely different from tennis — shorter swings, the non-volley zone, and (in padel) the walls. Treating them as their own sports, with their own rules and drills, is the honest way to actually help. Padel has no single universal rating, so we never invent one.

    Where to find it: Pick Pickleball or Padel from the sport selector, then use Diagnose, Drills, Equipment, and Athletic Journey just like any other sport.

    Action: None — just choose your sport and start.

    Athletic Journey — Your Roadmap From Beginner to the Next Level

    A new Athletic Journey maps where you are today and what it takes to reach the next level. It reads your stage from a blend of your profile, any ratings, your videos, logged play, and practice — explains the evidence for and against, shows what to improve next, and builds a weekly plan. It is live now for golf, tennis, pickleball, and padel; baseball and softball are visibly in development.

    What this means for you

    Instead of a single score, you get a clear picture of your stage on the path from beginner to professional-level — what evidence places you there, the one or two things that move you up next, and a weekly plan to do it. Optional handicap, UTR/NTRP, or DUPR sharpen the read but are never required.

    Why it matters

    Improvement is a path, not a number. Seeing the stage you are at, why, and exactly what unlocks the next one keeps training purposeful. It stays honest: sports still in development show a real waitlist instead of a faked score.

    Where to find it: Open Athletic Journey from the sidebar (/journey), pick your sport, and review your stage, the evidence, and your plan.

    Action: None — it builds from the data you already have, and you can add a rating anytime to sharpen it.

    Player Recruiting Hub — A Profile College Coaches Can Trust

    A new Player Recruiting Hub helps athletes put their best, most honest foot forward. Build a profile where every number and claim is labeled by source — verified vs. self-reported — organize your game film into highlight reels, generate a downloadable recruiting packet, manage outreach to coaches, and share a public coach-view page where you control exactly what each coach can see.

    What this means for you

    You get a recruiting profile that stands out by being trustworthy: source-labeled stats, real film, and a clean coach-view page you control — plus a recruiting packet and outreach tools to actually reach programs.

    Why it matters

    Recruiting is full of inflated numbers, and coaches know it. A profile that is honest by design — clearly separating verified from self-reported, and describing evidence instead of projecting a ceiling — earns more trust than hype ever could.

    Where to find it: Open Recruiting from the sidebar (/recruiting). Build your profile, then explore the film library, data dashboard, highlight builder, packet generator, outreach, and analytics.

    Action: You choose what to share and what each coach can view — nothing is public until you say so.

  4. New Feature🏅All Sports

    BodySync — Train With Your Body, Not Against It

    BodySync is a new, optional health-and-readiness layer. Log a quick daily wellness check-in — sleep, soreness, energy, mood — and BodySync turns it into a readiness score that scales how hard to train today, flags fatigue risk, and adjusts your practice plan so a depleted day suggests a smarter, lighter session. A connector framework can fold in data you choose to import, like Apple Health.

    What this means for you

    You get a simple daily read on how ready you are to train and a practice plan that respects it — push on good days, back off on depleted ones — so you improve without burning out or risking injury.

    Why it matters

    The best practice plan ignores how you actually feel that day. Connecting readiness to your training makes coaching realistic. BodySync is deliberately careful: it is opt-in and consent-gated, for adults 18 and over, clearly not medical advice, and all of it is yours to export or delete.

    Where to find it: Open BodySync from the sidebar (/bodysync) and complete the one-time consent step (adults 18+). Then do a daily check-in to see your readiness and adjusted plan.

    Action: Opt-in: BodySync only turns on after you give explicit consent, and it is limited to adults 18 and over.

  5. New Feature🏅All Sports

    New Video Library — Every Walkthrough Plus Training Videos in One Place

    A new Video Library puts all of SwingVantage’s short feature walkthroughs in one place, alongside a growing catalogue of training videos covering swing path, using a launch monitor, drills, coaching, and film study. Browse by category and find exactly what you need to learn.

    What this means for you

    You can learn SwingVantage and improve your game from one organized hub — short how-to videos for every feature plus training content, instead of hunting around the app.

    Why it matters

    A tool is only as useful as your ability to use it. One browsable library of walkthroughs and training videos makes the whole platform easier to learn and keeps useful coaching content close at hand.

    Where to find it: Open Video Library from the sidebar (/library) and browse by category.

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

  6. New Feature🏅All Sports

    Daily Notes — Tell Us How You Played, in Your Own Words

    A quick new place to capture how a round, match, game, or practice actually went — in plain language. Pick how you played, jot a few words (“sliced it off the tee and topped a couple”), and SwingVantage pulls the faults out of your own notes and adds them to your Athlete GI player profile. When the same issue keeps showing up across your days, it gets flagged as a pattern worth a dedicated fix. No launch monitor or video required.

    What this means for you

    You can finally feed the app on the days you just play. In a few seconds you answer “How did you play today?”, optionally type what happened, and the faults you mention become part of your profile — so your cross-sport read keeps sharpening even without a launch monitor or video. There is even a one-tap “How did you play today?” card right on your Today dashboard.

    Why it matters

    Most of your reps happen out on the course or field, not in front of a camera. Daily Notes captures that everyday signal honestly: your rating is a self-report (clearly low-confidence, never posing as a measurement), and the faults are read straight from your own words. Over time those notes are exactly what turns “a bad day” into a recurring pattern your plan can target.

    Where to find it: Open “Daily Notes” under Progress in the sidebar (/notes), or tap how you played on the “How did you play today?” card on your Today dashboard. Everything is yours — export or delete it anytime from the Data Center.

    Action: None — just tap how you played whenever you finish, and add a note if you want.
