I concur with Mikes response above .

Impact hand location is another concept , related perhaps but different. Nothing wrong with monitoring that procedurally although it could be argued that those who think that is one and the same as the aiming point procedure are missing out on what Homers aiming point procedure really was.

The Aiming Point can be adjusted fore and aft of the ball along the Delivery Line of the Clubhead (not the plane line for balls back of low point) . If for example a player tends to leave his long levered driver shots to the right , moving the Aiming Point aft (back towards the right foot) of the ball a few inches will trick him or her into releasing earlier or perhaps more forcefully . This aids in the squaring of the face by impact. Ones Aiming Point can therefore change on a day by day basis.

Thats my take on it anyways. The other benefit is that it adds down and out to the stroke , to ones intentions. A throwing like motion at the aiming point precludes the common malady of swinging forward towards the target, Steering.

Ok, I feel like an idiot, again!

It wasn't until trying the Aiming Point concept the other evening that I realized I had never really dragged PP # 3 anywhere on purpose, ever, not to the mall, not to McD's, not to Minnesota or Wisconsin!

Playing with the metal broomstick one of my students was nice enough to break for me and I felt it!!! No, not Agina, but PP # 3! We had an old cardboard box filled with trash I had marked the outside of with the stick before. Ehmm, suddenly, I cut it in half with a controlled Ax-handle drive thinking only of planting the left heel with a pre-turned hip and pulling the EA loaded PP # 3 to the box!

I came home and alternately made my impact bag jump up and straight back with my Angle Hinge and spin left with my Horizontal Hinge!

The problem? I flexed the clubs on every shot!!!! And I did it on purpose!!!!

DRAG THE MOP, DRAG THE DOG, DRAG PP # 3 TO THE AIMING POINT!

"Deliberate, positive and heavy!"
