[12 piece bucket]

I don't know why this brothers me, but it really does. Where in the book does he state that the Aiming Point is 4 inches?

I must have missed it. I beleive he starts on p 37 about aiming point. There is one place on pg 38 he states about its' exactness or preciseness doesn't have to be 4 inches, which the 4 inches is in reference to the bottome of swing (Low Point). On pages 40,50,51,59 and 201 he identifies/defines Aiming Point and again no 4 inches.

Can someone help me out here cause for whatever reason this is getting to me. This is poping up across all forums and no one seems to have identified the exact quote. Maybe it is a bit awkward wording in one area of the text but within the book, after reading it, if anyone still has the idea that he is talking about 4 inches for the Aiming Point, well I don't know.

A little help or can we put this to rest that he doesn't say that?

I don't think Clampett says that the Aiming Point is 4 inches in front of the ball. But radlink54 read it that way. I could see how a person could get confused by reading the Aiming Point and "swing bottom" passages in the book. I don't think Clampett has misrepresented it necessarily but it is confusing particularly if this is your first exposure to the concept.

Don't get me wrong. There is A LOT in this book to like. I just think that part is a bit foggy.

What do you think about the whole "keep the left wrist cocked as long as you can" thing?

I don't want to poor mouth Clampett. I think he's good for the Machine, good for the game and miles ahead of 98% of the instruction books out there. I'm just trying to be objective.
