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.
Thanks 12 piece. Sorry Martee. Not trying to falsely claim Clampett says aim point=low point=4inches. Just trying to understand better. I guess my question was based on a picture in the book where the white line is drawn from the top or end of backswing to a point in front of the ball. Also the picture where he says "yes my eyes are looking in front of the ball" about 4 inches out.
