[quote=innercityteacher;94532]Aim Point for idiots! Ok, having figured out how to turn my back hip in synch with my PP # 3 and having so much power using the Right Forearm Angle of Approach, the question arises as to where to drag or drive that power to? So I'm starting the research on this Forum and watching you tube videos to get an answer I can use.

Comments and harangues are welcome!

Aiming Point -- A Few Feet Too Far

I get pretty good results while using my irons if I drive my hands at a point a good 12-15 feet in front of the ball. The only visual I have seen of the aim point is in Bobby Clampett's book Impact Zone and he shows it being about 4-5 inches in front of the ball. Am I overdoing it?
Ex,

Study the Aiming Point (6-E-2);

The Hands Lane (Photo 9-3-6); and

The Delivery Paths (10-23-0/A).

Once understood, the golfer knows that Thrust can be directed AT the Ball (assuming its Location at the specific Club's Straightaway Point); IN FRONT of the Ball (for the Shorter Clubs); or BEHIND the Ball (the longer Clubs).

Bottom Line: Once the Aiming Point is understood, the player rarely directs Thrust more than 1-2 inches in front of the
Ball, much less 10-15 feet. As far as 'behind' the Ball; that point apparently has been lost.
