I had heard rumblings. Golfers discontented with how annoying Apple’s new iOS update was for golfers who record videos of their golf swings. I was afraid to learn more, and staved off the iOS update as long as I could, despite my phone yelling at me at every opportunity along the way. Until, alas, eventually falling victim.

It was, indeed, as terrible as advertised for golfers.

The issue isn’t the product in and of itself: It’s a sleek, minimalist design that allows users to scroll generally backwards and forward through a video.

The problem is that golfers, when they’re looking at a video of their golf swing, need the opposite. They need to scrub quickly between very specific frames milliseconds apart. So when you remove the scrubber and the bar visualizing all the frames, it’s a recipe for golfers hating it. As you can see from the responses when I asked golfers about it.

But good news! There’s a pretty simple workaround.

Once you open your golf swing video, simply click the edit button.

At that point you’ll be presented with the blessed old version of the video scroller, with the scrubber and preview of different frames.

It’s not perfect—what used to be the default is now a couple of clicks away, but it’s better than nothing. And unless golfers of the world convince Apple to roll back the video playback design, it’s what we have.
