Hard Time Getting My Head Past the Ball

Whenever I've videod my swing on my phone I can't email it because it's too large and I don't use shutterfly or any of those image hosting sights.  I use V1 golf ...but again, file is too big.

Tough crowd here trying to prove your swing is not perfect!  Haha

Surely you’re trimming the video right? I use V1 Golf app as well. But it will be in a format not used here I believe. It’s real simple using YouTube as @iacas said. Just trim it down to the actual swing (a few seconds) then upload to YouTube. Then you can embed the link on the My Swing thread. We’re not a tough crowd, but when you claim on a golf forum you’re a +3 and you pose a question as you have, you’re gonna turn some heads. 

Kinda like going on a Drummers website and saying you played back up drums for Pantera then asking how to tune a floor Tom.

I'll have to ask the pro I work with if he can so it.

So just to simplify...I guess I'm looking for drills for " getting left".  Funny how it's seems to be thought of as a hackers problem.

Been looking at some sites online that are a help.  In the future I'll probably just do that.

If you shot 57 flipping/hanging back, I'm gonna quit. I'm going to officially declare 'golf is unsolvable' with a trademark of my own.

Ok, kidding, but really, PLEASE figure out a way to post your swing. We are dying out of curiosity here..

I've learned to live with it.  Play or practice everyday.  It's not a reverse pivot or a huge flip but it's there and it's the reason my launch angle is too high with my irons.  

I didn't know u could post a video on YouTube without an account.  I'll ask at work if he can do it for me.

Isolate the motion in a mirror and see what it feels like. Then do that.

it is pretty easy. I usually upload video in HD to 'Unlisted". Trim the video down if you can. Then just copy the video link by right clicking on the video. Then paste in a My Swing thread.

You can set up an account too that will save your uploads.

I'll try that the end of the week when I work.  Thanks for the tip!

This is the same guy who said this:

I do not know why he would be trolling-But I feel like he is. Nobody is out there shooting 57 and NEVER shooting above par-But asking these kinds of questions.

No Phil, not " trolling"...whatever that is.   Good players have issues too...So when Tiger is getting stuck and asks for help ( not here) does that mean he is lying about his scores?  Does he suddenly suck?  No.  

I am simply looking for help with an issue.  Funny thing is there's more people crapping on me  than there are trying to help.  

Not what I expected here.

 

Thanks to Boogielicious and a few others I'll try posting a video when I'm at work later in the week.  In the meantime I got a few ideas from a few other forums that seem to be helping when I look in the mirror.

@Typhoon92-You can look up what trolling is. I do not think you shot 57 and did not have a single round above par in a year.

But that all to the side-You should know better than to ask for advice without having a video.-Feel is not real. Post a video and you will get help.

I got a video last nite, I'll post it when I have time.  It's funny u doubt people u don't know for no reason but to each his own.  I had the pro I work with put it on his YouTube account and email it to me.  I'll look at Iacas and boogielicios directions again.

Got it posted in the members swing section.  Thanks for the help guys!

If it's on Youtube, it's as easy at copying the link here and posting.

Why do you need your head to move past the ball? At impact it really should be approx where it was at address. And where it goes after impact is p much irrelevant.

Maybe the issue of it moving off the ball in your backswing is more imp (if it's excessive)?

Exactly my question! That's one of my major bugaboos. If I let my head slide toward the target when I initiate the downswing, I'm going to have a bad day! I see pro swings where their hands are waist high and the club is pointing at the target on the follow through before their head begins coming up. 

Maybe the OP is not that flexible, but keep your head behind the ball until it's away. Then come up.

Got it posted in member swings Denny, thank you.

For me flexibility is not an issue, I think no I get too much if the old " reverse C".

 

What is helping me the most right now is using the mirror without the ball.  Next week I'll get to hitting the ball too and use the video to see if it is Gerri g close to the mirror image.
