Tips & Tricks

Face the hitter: The best angle for analyzing swing mechanics is from the front-facing view, looking directly at the hitter

Include the pitcher when possible: Capturing the pitcher in the same frame helps assess timing

Keep the full body in frame: It's important that the entire body is visible - from head to toe - so coaches  can evaluate posture, load, and follow-through

Distance matters less than comfort: Filming from the stands or field-side is perfectly fine. Avoid standing too close, as this can add pressure or distract the player.

Regular speed is fine: Videos can be recorded at normal speed. Our platform allows coaches to slow down and analyze swings frame by frame

Slow-motion optional: If available, slow-motion footage can add helpful detail but isn't necessary

Film whenever and wherever you can: There's no specific lighting requirement. Whether indoors, outdoors, during a practice or game, send in what you're able to capture

No pressure to create perfect conditions: We understand that lighting and surroundings may vary - it's the swing that matters most

Send as many swings as you'd like: Whether it's a few reps or a full round, every video helps

Includes drills, game clips, and more: Multiple drills or different types of swings give coaches better insight into development

Voiceover is optional: Players are welcome to speak during the video - especially if asking questions or explaining what they're working on

Avoid creating pressure: Try not to disrupt the hitter or surrounding fans while filming, especially during games. Be as discreet as possible to help your player stay relaxed

Don't filter out the good swings: It's common to send only the ones that "need work," but great swings are just as important for understanding progress. Submit a mix of both

No need to stress about perfection: Even a blurry clip or game stream recording is better than nothing - just send what you have.
