A single number from 1–10 that summarizes the whole swing. It's a weighted average of all the individual category scores the AI measured.

It gives you one number to track over time. A rising Overall Score means the swing is getting more consistent across the board — not just one piece.

Think of it like a grade for your whole swing. A 7 is solid. A 9 means almost everything is clicking. Even a 4 is a starting point — that's what practice is for!

A player who goes from a 5 to a 7 over several uploads has made real, measurable progress across multiple parts of their swing mechanics.

How well the player holds an athletic, balanced stance from start to finish. This looks at spine angle, shoulder level, and whether the body stays tall and steady through the swing.

Good posture is the foundation of every other part of the swing. If the spine tilts or the shoulders drop, it throws off timing, bat path, and contact point.

Imagine a broomstick running straight down your back. Your job is to keep that stick in the same position from when you load all the way through contact. Stay tall, stay steady!

A posture score going from 5 to 8 usually means the player stopped lunging forward or dropping their back shoulder — two of the most common youth swing mistakes.

The width and stability of the player's stance and stride. This covers foot positioning, stride length, and how balanced the lower body stays during the swing.

A good base keeps the player grounded and in control. Without it, power leaks out of the swing — it's hard to rotate effectively if your feet aren't set correctly.

Think of yourself as a tree. Strong trees have deep, wide roots. Your stance is your roots — if they're too narrow or you step too far forward, the whole swing gets shaky.

A better base score often means the stride became shorter and more controlled — landing softly on a flexed front knee instead of a stiff, locked-out leg.

The twist between the upper body (shoulders) and the lower body (hips) during the load phase. Good separation means the hips and shoulders are moving independently — hips open first, then shoulders follow.

Separation creates a "stretch" in the core muscles, like pulling back a rubber band. That stored energy is what generates bat speed. Without it, the swing relies mostly on arms, not the whole body.

Pretend your hips and shoulders are two doors. During your load, your back door (hips) stays closed while your front door (shoulders) coils back. When you swing, the hips door opens first — then the shoulders follow. That gap between them is separation!

A player improving separation will start firing their hips before their hands and bat drop into the zone — resulting in noticeably more pop and bat speed at contact.

How powerfully and completely the hips rotate through the hitting zone. The AI measures the speed and degree of hip rotation from load to contact and beyond.

The hips are the engine of a powerful swing. Even elite youth coaches say: "The hands are passengers — the hips drive the car." Weak hip rotation means the arms do all the work, which limits both power and consistency.

When you swing, your belly button should end up pointing toward the pitcher. If it still faces the catcher at the end, your hips didn't fully rotate. Practice saying "belly button to the pitcher" every rep!

A higher hip drive score means the player is rotating more fully — often visible as a better "finish" where the back heel comes fully off the ground and the hips face forward.

The path the lead arm and hands take from the load position through the contact zone. The AI tracks elbow angles and wrist positioning to measure how efficiently the bat enters and exits the hitting zone.

A short, direct arm path gives the bat more time in the hitting zone, making it easier to make contact. A long, loopy path takes more time and is harder to control — especially against faster pitching.

Think of it like knocking on a door with your knuckles. Your elbow comes down first, then your hands slot in. You don't want to wind your arm around like a windmill — keep it short and tight.

Better arm path scores often show up as more line drives and fewer pop-ups. The player is connecting with the ball more directly instead of casting their arms outward before contact.

The single most important area the AI identified for this swing. Instead of overwhelming you with everything at once, it picks the one thing that will have the biggest impact if worked on next.

Trying to fix five things at practice usually means none of them get fixed. One clear priority helps players and parents know exactly where to put their energy between sessions.

This is your one job for the week! Read it, remember it, and think about it during every tee rep or soft-toss. Don't worry about the other stuff for now — just own this one thing.

If you worked on Today's Focus and upload a new video, you should see that category's score go up — and the AI may point to a new focus area, which is a sign of real progress.

Each score bar shows two things: the score for this swing AND a trend arrow based on the last 5 swings. A green arrow up (↑) means the score is improving. A red arrow down (↓) means it dipped. A dash (—) means it stayed about the same.

One swing is a snapshot. The trend tells the real story. A category trending up over 5 swings means something is actually clicking — not just a lucky rep.

The arrows are like a scoreboard for your practice. Green arrows mean what you're doing is working — keep doing it! Red arrows just mean that area needs more reps. It's information, not a report card.

Seeing all categories trend green over a few weeks means the whole swing is improving consistently. Even one stubborn red arrow tells you where to spend extra drill time.

A quick summary comparing this swing to your most recent previous swing. It highlights what moved up, what stayed steady, and if anything dropped since last time.

Progress is often invisible swing-to-swing. This card makes it visible — even a half-point improvement in a category is a real mechanical change worth acknowledging.

This shows how you did compared to last time. Did something go up? That's because your hard work is paying off. Did something go down? That just means it needs more reps — nothing to stress about.

Over weeks of uploads, the Progress Update becomes a highlight reel of growth — more greens, fewer drops, and the Overall Score climbing steadily upward.

A specific drill or practice task generated by the AI based on what the swing actually showed. It's customized to the player's current weakest area — not a generic tip.

Generic baseball tips are everywhere. This assignment is targeted — it tells you what to actually do at practice to fix the specific thing the AI detected in this swing.

This is your homework! Write it down or screenshot it before practice. Do those reps — even 10 focused swings on this one thing is better than 100 random swings. Quality beats quantity.

If you do the assignment consistently and upload again, the score for that specific category should improve — and the next assignment will push you to the next level.

A short, plain-language description of what the AI wants to see improved in the next video. It tells you what "success" looks like for the next session, so you have a clear target before you film.

Going into a practice session with a specific goal is far more effective than just hitting. This gives both the player and parent a shared picture of what to watch for during filming.

Before you film your next swing, read this. Then during warm-ups, try to feel that one thing. When you record, you'll know exactly what you're trying to show — and the coach (AI) will be able to tell if it worked!

When the next upload shows improvement in exactly the area the goal described, it means practice drills are transferring to real swings — which is the whole point.
