Hi Jamo,
I have some difficulty trying to slow down the vids enough to be confident in what I am saying but I watched the vids enough to feel comfortable bringing up the following point. Look at the first vid and slow it down at and just after impact as best you can. You wil see that your club gets in line with your right arm almost immediately after impact and what you want is to have the club in line with the left arm after impact and at lowpoint. Once you see this you will want to find a way to change it because this really is the best evidence of flipping there is. So what is happening is that your body is slowing down to get your arms in front of your body in the right positions and then your body doesn't move at the rate your arms do and outrun your body. also if the clubface is too open to the arc at P6 your brain is going to have your arms working to turn the clubface square to the target. so for me, the key is get your body and arms working in unison from P6 to through swing. if you do that the first thing you will see that the club will be in line with the left arm after impact, not your right arm which is where it is now.
that is just my point of view and I hope it is somewhat helpful to you
I think this is my biggest problem, and it's something that I have trying to attack for a while now, but since it's still winter I haven't been able to play often enough to really make much of a difference. I've got some ideas of how to combat this to try out, but today I just wanted to get to the range to get a bit of a baseline.
Here are some videos from today. They are basically the same as in the earlier ones. It's not great video because of my black sweater against the dark trees in the background, but at least I didn't wear black pants . In my golf swing I was flipping something wicked (which is basically what tightdraw was saying, if I understand correctly). The first two are 6 irons, the second two drivers.
