Please bear with me, I'll just need to consult my 'I.T. for f***wits' manual and try to work out whats gone wrong.

They open fine for me, although I guess that's not really the point lol

Error loading.

I think it's due to the software not being compatible, it's an app called 'Ubersense', anyone heard of it?

Works fine on iPhone. Nice facilities at the Gog's.

Ah, may be an apple issue then, it was filmed on an iPad, downloaded and uploaded to and from a mac.

Any idea how I can make it viewable to non apple users??

Possibly working for everyone now? - wasn't working for me half an hour ago (on a mac) but is fine now

Something that would help you, it you look at the DTL vid, when you club at 1st parallel you'll see you've taken and pointed the club inside pointing a bit behind your legs so then when you continue to the top you'll see you've crossed the line. Club head and shaft pointing to the right of the ball target line. this is partly caused by the way you slightly over hinge and roll your wrist at about hip height as well as taking the club back a little to much inside.

So a couple of things you can work on, at that 1st parallel position when your club is parallel to the ground it should also be parallel to your ball target line and also pretty close to being above your toe line and also parallel with your toe line, the leading edge of the club should be either at 90 degrees to the ground, toe up, or it can be as far as being parallel to your address spine angle, either of these two or somewhere in between in fine. You can just practice this move so you feel the club head for this first move stays outside/in front your hands more.

The way to achieve this is, from address, to take the club head straighter back for the 10 or so inches and feel that your shoulders and arms control that movement as your hands and wrists stay quiet, so that triangle your arms formed at address stays intact.
Then at 1st parallel (club shaft parallel to the ground) your wrists will start to set and your right arm fold more naturally and this will also enable you to keep a little bit more width in your back swing, (at the moment both your arms overbend at the elbows and it narrows down a little too much at top and points across the line. When your body turn stops so should your arms and club no over-bending of them or lifting of them to 'cheat' a longer backswing. Three quarter backswing is fine, just short of parallel at the top.

Another check point is when your left arm is parallel to the ground it should also be pretty much parallel to your toe line but also little in front of your toe line, your wrists now will be pretty much fully set and the angle between your left arm and the club shaft forms 90 degrees.
If you look you'll also notice at this left arm parallel position that your arms and club are more 'in front' of your chest and not behind you, in fact your hands and handle of the club will be more or less in front of the center of your chest.
Then you just complete your body/shoulder turn to that 'three quarter position' at the top.

Keep your rhythm tempo and balance it's good.

*Check your address alignment, your shoulders are open to your target line, just make sure shoulders hips knees feet are all parallel left of the ball target line, put an alignment stick (or club) down a couple of inches in front of your feet, easier to check you are square. One of the reasons that your shoulders are open is that ball position a little to far forward, just move it back half a ball or so.

Thanks for the feedback Coach, what you've said is uncannily similar to what the pro said, particularly the alignment of shoulders etc at address, and rolling of the wrists on the takeaway.

So many things to think about

Your welcome hope it helps.

It can seem there's a lot of things but you'll be surprised if you can get that address position in a just little better shape (it's not far off) which you will be able to, then you'll be surprised how things fall a bit better in to place.

Get your alignment and that first 2' of the backswing somewhere in good order and it will serve you well for sure.

You've got good rhythm, tempo and balance and that will only get better the more you can master the right starting points.

One more thing, ha!
Remember it's only your left arm you want in a straight (but still relaxed condition) position at address, your right arm shouldn't be 'straight', it's should be a little softened at the elbow, a slight bend in it, if you will.
So that if you were directly behind (DTL) a golfer at address you'd be able to see a little of the left arm forearm above a relaxed right arm. In other words the right arm wouldn't be covering and blocking your view of the left entirely.
If the right arm tends to be in a 'straight condition' and not relaxed that can also cause shoulders to be open at address. If you freeze your DTL address position you'll see your right arm is a little straight and you can't see that top inside of the left forearm over it, the right arm is blocking that view.

But you've got some good things working there in the motion, so keep at it and good luck.

It might seem a lot to do but it's not really, as a lot of it is just slight changes in the address positions, and then getting the club head working back a little straighter from the ball so that 1st parallel position is in better shape and you'll be well on your way to a good swing.
