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


Videos: 

Trying too shallow? What do you think?

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 

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.

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?

    • I agree with @klineka & @DaveP043 above.  When a new member first joins the club they cold be told that they are not eligible for tournaments until they have an established HCP.  As you said, it only takes a few rounds.  If they do not to post HCP that was their choice and choices have consequences.  If playing in the tournament is important to them then they should step up and establish an HCP.  Maybe they miss the 1st tournament, is that a real big deal?  And if it is a "Big Deal" to them then they had the opportunity to establish the HCP. As for not knowing how to report for HCP I assume your club has a pro and they should be able to assist in getting the scores reported and I suspect out of state courses may also have staff that can assist if asked.

    • Cool here's my tweak, "If a player’s ball lies in the general area and there is interference from exposed tree roots or exposed rocks that are in the fairway or 1 club length from the fairway the tree roots and exposed rocks are treated as ground under repair. The player may take free relief under Rule 16.1b.[But relief is not allowed if the tree roots only interfere with the player’s stance.]
    • I would never do the extended warranty on the $50 slow cooker.  I also routinely reject the extended service plans on those toys we buy for the grand-kids.  I do consider them on higher cost items and will be more likely to get one if the product has a lot of "Electronic Tech" that is often the problem longer-term.  I also consider my intended length of ownership & usage.  If my thought is it would get replaced in 2-3 years then why bother but if I hope to use it for 10 years then more likely to get the extension. I did buy out a lease about a year ago.  Just prior to the lease end date the tablet locked up and would not function.  I got it repaired under the initial warranty and would not have bought it out if they had not been able to fix it since IMO once electronic issues start in a car they can be hard to track down & fix.  They did fix it but when I bought out the lease I paid up for the extended warranty the would cover electronic failures because my intent is to keep that car for another 8-10 years and I just do not trust the electronics to last.  Last week the touch screen went black and was unresponsive.  It reset on the 2nd time I restarted the car but that is exactly how the last malfunction started.  I fully expect to have a claim on that on repair under the extended warranty.  I do not recall the exact cost to fix last time since I did not pay it but I think it was @ $700-$800 and I suspect that will be higher next time.
    • Have you looked at Model Local Rule F-9 Relief from Tree Roots in or Close to Fairway?  You could extend this to cover exposed rocks.  The rule is recommended to be used only for areas relatively near the fairway, a player who hits a shot 20 yards in the woods doesn't really deserve relief.   Players can always take Unplayable Ball relief, they're not required to play it from a rock or a root.  Of course, they hate to take the penalty stroke too.
