Mind in the hands
The answer to golf ills according to Bobby Clampett is to move the aiming point forward. How does one go about finding the correct aiming point for the hands? Is it found at impact fix?

Straight from the book - "by experiment"

A good place to start searching is the impact fix hand location, which should be just outside the left foot from the player's point of view. But the aiming point changes with the length of the club; the shorter the club, the further forward the aiming point is.

Handspeed and trigger delay also affect the aiming point. With a sweep release (high handspeed) the aiming point is further back, and with a late snap release (low handspeed) its further forward.

From impact fix, assuming proper hand positions (level right wrist) and flying wedges in place.

Imagine extending the line of your right forearm to a spot on the ground, which would be well ahead of the ball. It is the line you are sending the right arm down as your right elbow straightens towards follow through (both arms straight).

Very helpful for a hitter and crossline delivery. Swingers can use that line to imagine how much 'forward' they could have their aiming point, but it would be on the ball target line (not so much 'out' as the right forearm is pointing).

EdZ: Terrific image, thanks. I believe Lynn has an episode with dowels to
demonstrate this.

Do any of your drills address this specifically?
