So I've started to lose a lot of distance and I think the flip is getting worse
The ball should be going further with my swing speed and I'm losing it up in the air
Any drills / videos / good teachers for this???

Just hit fades that start left and come back to target. You just cant do that with a flip.
My coach got me doing that by just telling me to try swing out to in as much as I could. Even then at the beginning i was still in to out. Was fun to see these on the LM. What i felt was nowhere near reality.

Matt,
Feet together, slightly closed stance, flat swing, 4.30 path, no flip. Easy.
Tried to play a fade yesterday, had open stance, took club outside line, but because I’m retarded I alway ended up re routing the club back inside and ended up hitting bid pushes, but because I weakened my grip, they turned right too...... was disastrous on a medal day.
i can’t seem to exit the club left through impact to hit a fade......

Impossible not to turn with that set up

I went to the range this morning to test out the new 3 wood; while waiting for the greens keeper to sort out the range area, I was following this drill:
I was hoping to be able to relax my swing a little more, as I have a tendency, when tensed, to either cast my swing and pull left, or a flip which result in a thin shot.
After that, I followed up with about 5minutes of step forward swing to work on my weight shifting forward. (yeah, the green keepers were slow)
After that, I have to admit it has been one of the best 7i shots I have struck for awhile with good distance, ball contact and ball flight height.
Well I don't know what I'm doing anymore but I do know how to hit a high push cut into the crap most holes.
Oh and my 7 iron now goes 145 instead of the 160 it used to!
And I can't turn the ball over any more, even if I rotate my arms as hard as I can closed. Still cuts.
Hooray for golf ........

Liked this video with the idea of towing the club into impact https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lbPNBQh6MhI
MattYou sound EXACTLY like me !!!!Divots were pointing up to 45 degrees left with high, right super spinners killing me in the wind.Went and saw local pro - he told me to hit a few balls, told me my grip sucked balls, changed it and presto.Basically - the ‘V’ on my right hand was pointing to my left shoulder/chin, when it should be pointing to my right shoulder. He also looked at my glove and saw the wear marks in my palm, so he drew a line on my glove from the middle of my index finger to the base of my pinkie and told me to make sure the club is aligned to that.Felt horrible at first - almost like the face was super closed and the ball was too far back in my stance, however the results have been nothing short of amazing.Subconsciously- the body no longer wants to drag the club left, which has squared up my path and clubface - all by something as small as a grip change...
Thanks I'll have a look
My divots have actually been very on target which is weird. But I think I've lost a lot of my shoulder turn going back so I'll just keep working at it.
Handicap can only go up!
Video from back of swing please, where is the face in the take away at hip height? Where is the club head in relation to target line, inside or outside? That is where I would start.
Sounds like the face is faning which is the lack of distance.
Does the strike feel centred off the face?
If it aint for sale the right price has just not been offered
