We don't have to assume that the aiming point is always in front of the ball...

I don't see how the hands can be moving down at impact...they could feel that way...but how could they if we assume rhythm? Assuming the same rpm would they not have to be moving up?

Right, as I said above, it can be behind the ball also, but on the Plane Line.

The hands can be moving down at Impact, but the club head will have been thrown away, unless, like Trevino, the ball is played in the center of the stance, and then before taking the club back, the feet are moved toward the target(the Trevino Two Step), locating the ball off the right foot.
