Hi everyone i have been golfing for 1 year now. I started at a 22 handicap and i cut it down to 11 so far. Before i would go out and just play but now i want to go to the next level. I have worked very hard on my swing this year. Played well here and there but this offseason im trying to improve so much. Here is my problem. I am flipping the golf club. I video tape all of my swings. When i take a practice swing with no ball i can get my hands equal with the ball: 

The first photo  is at impact with no ball. The second  is at impact trying to hit the ball...ive researched this a lot and i understand i have to swing the club instead of hit it but no matter what i do i flip my hands....i have tried shortening my backswing, and slowing my swing down so i do not throw it at the top but i still do. As soon as there is a little white ball there to start my downswing i throw the club. Please if you get a chance send me some ideas to work on. Thank you so much, hope you are enjoying the holidays.

@val_vadino, post your videos and people will be able to help you. Can't tell much about what's going on in your swing from a still frame at impact.

I'm going to change this thread into your MySwing thread since that's what it's about, and "insane swing revelation" is a click-bait title.

We don't host videos. You have to upload them on YouTube first and then embed the links.

Yeah that's unfortunately pretty common. Post a video so we can help you identify the problem.
