My Swing (Dixons Gas)

[Dixons Gas]

Playing Golf for: 20 years and trying to shallow for the last 10. Even without a ball I haven’t been able to shallow the club. Just recently I’ve come across a feel that’s allowing me to shallow and want to get some feedback! If you wouldn’t mind having a look and commenting that would be amazing!
My current handicap index or average score is: 15
My typical ball flight is: always struggled with flipping and hitting a push slice. 
The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: push slice... trying to square earlier and shallow

welcome to TST! I renamed your thread to fit the forum category. You've found a great place to get some help. While I'm not one to offer any technique advice, I'm sure someone here will help you out, but make yourself known in other forums as well. Typically people are more willing to help out if they get to know you

Thanks Woodzie

Thanks Woodzie 

Sure thing! I will tell you that the guys who are more inclined to give advice will ask for a Face on View (see instructions -  http://thesandtrap.com/b/playing_tips/filming_your_swing) and want you actually hitting a ball as people's swings will change once a ball is introduced.

As @woodzie264 mentioned, hitting a ball would be best. Add a face on and film the swing in slow motion. For the down-the-line shot, have the camera line up on your toe line at hand height.

Filmed in slow motion on my iPhone but YouTube converts it to standard speed. Is there a way to stop that?

I film mine in slow-no on my iPhone and YouTube does not change it...not sure why the difference

In Photos, you can edit where the slow motion happens. I usually just move the slide bars to the actual swing and trim the video.

The other method is to use iMovie to edit where the slow motion happens and the length. Then save it to your Photos. Then upload to YouTube. That will preserve the slow motion.

We use to be able to upload from iMovie to YouTube, but that stopped a few weeks back for some reason.

Used the iMovie method... here’s the updated video. Is there a way to put this in my original post?

No need. I think you do need to take video of hitting a ball. Out practice swings are not like our real swings.

Agreed, you're not gonna get much feedback until you're hitting an actual ball

Truer words were never spoken.  If I could hit the ball with my practice swing I'd never shoot over par.

You hit a push slice because you come into the ball too far from inside with the club head too open. With that path you’re either going to hit big pushes or hook the ball, and your face is very open.

I don’t think shallowing is what you should be focusing on. Do you have a face on video?
