Almost got it!
 

What about when Yoda says "the hands have to go down!" Hmmm is that why my ball flight is so frackn high and my distance is so puny? :rolleyes: :confused:

This seems to help a bit...no uncocking just roll?

Where did AIMING POINT go?
 

I did say "Could Use much discussion."

Think that is lost, Too bad.

What that's about is good advice! PP#3 is driven down plane toward the Aiming Point, which is what I tried, but apparently failed, to convey above.

Steering could cause those things and worse.

IC, "no uncocking", seriously???? To help what? We're talking about Aiming Point.

hb, I thought we were discussing it - as I said above, it's a point on the plane line(usually at or near the ball location) at which you direct PP#3 with the pivot(or right tricep) from the top.

The idea is to guarantee Imperative #3, A straight Plane Line. From the top, the LFW along with the sweetspot, rotated into it, and, ideally, the Right Shoulder also on the plane of the LFW, is driven by the Right Shoulder toward the Aiming Point on the Plane Line. Down to release of #2, both PP#3 and the sweetspot are heading for the Aiming Point. Sometime after The left wrist starts uncocking, Throwout kicks in, at which point the hands appear to the golfer to be arcing to the left, as the LFW moves off plane with the left shoulder moving up and back. At that point, a line from PP#3 through the sweetspot, is still tracing the Plane Line. Once Throwout has kicked in and the LFW is moving off plane, the Aiming Point's purpose has been fulfilled.

But some, forgetting about PA#3, apparently think driving PP#3 at a point on the Plane Line will cause the hands to go flying out over the plane line. :eyes:

Say it ain't so Joe! This is not correct and goes against one of the key concepts of the golfing machine and a 3dimensional impact. The hands and clubhead move DOWN and OUT through an even past impact all the way to low point only then do they begin to move up even in the follow through the thrust direction is still down plane.

It ain't so only if you don't have enough club head lag to get your hands to impact fix before the club head gets to the ball or else you're playing the ball off your right toe. If the club head is properly lagged, it will still be traveling down and out while the hands are moving up and in.

mmm no, the hands still go down and out

Hmmmm, someone's not in a teaching mood.
 

My mistake.

For the some TGM students and for me, I know/suspect it is rather confusing to get to IMpact Fix, be able to shape shots dependably and control the target line, but lack power consistently. :(

I was hoping that perhaps because of the title of this thread, I might get help understanding why I am losing power through understanding the aiming point concept which I have read but cannot picture. Obviously, I showed my lack of understanding by asking a question which tends to happen with real questons. I won't stop asking sadly, I guess, for some of you. :naughty:

Perhaps the Lyme disease meds are still clouding me up. But so what?

I answer hundreds of stupid questions a day, with more grace than shown here. I have discovered over the last couple of years that a lot of times students just need the encouragement to know they are getting warmer so they can discover the insight if they keep focusing on a certain concept. But that's my business and my concern as a professional teacher.

Thinking "win-win" is really helpful on an electronic posting site, I believe. Sometimes, really dumb questions can stimulate new trains of thought and new ideas. Otherwise, no one writes and no one answers except those that "know everything."

Lynn, happily, is a really good teacher and knows a lot. :)
