Surprized no one has welcomed you yet... so Welcome to the forum....

The thing about the geometry of the clubhead orbit is that with a proper impact its travel should be taken downwards and just as importantly outwards.

That means that the impact is not an in-to-in affair.

If you imagine a big hoola hoop on an incline - your lowest point will be very close to when your left arm and clubshaft are all directly downwards from the left shoulder. Since the ball position should be taken prior to this point it means it is still traveling outwards to the right by a few degrees....

Controlling the ball flight is more a result of clubface control through what is known as a rhythm or hinge action. Also various procedures naturally produce different hinge actions......

Your stroke is like alot you see. You have alot of good things there for sure obviously been playing a while but however lacks a few fundamental concepts which really aren't stressed enough in the world of golf digest and its ilk....lol Your stroke could do with what is called a finish swivel - learn to rotate your left arm around a flat left wrist after impact rather than allowing a bending motion. Im not very convinced your not flipping it either....you might be best to train this with some chips/pitches....some high rough, impact bags....whatever takes your fancy...lol you do this and learn that the secret to this is to maintain the lag pressure (the heavy feeling in your hands) all the way down past impact. Your balance also looks a lil bit suspect. So theres three really important things to work on....
