6-E-2 The Aiming Point Concept

3. And wouldn't centrifugal force initiate the release when when the clubhead moves outside the arc of the hands? So why worry about an aiming point? Isn't it already taken care of?

4. Also, if the aiming point is located on the delivery line (per 2-j-3), does that mean for an arc of approach procedure that the aiming poing is located on the arc of approach or on the true plane line?

5. Finally, per 6-E-2-1, if one is directing the thrust of the #3 PP straight down the line from the top to the aiming point (a straight-line effort toward the aiming point), how does one trace the delivery line with the #3 PP at the same time?

Jaminid,

For reader ease, I have edited your Quote and numbered your questions. Here are the answers:

1. The purpose of the Aiming Point is to direct the Thrust of the Stroke toward a specific point on the Plane Line being Traced. A given Aiming Point automatically incorporates Plane Line Tracing, but not vice versa. While Driving toward the Plane Line -- really get into 1-L-#10 and The Truth Shall Set You Free! -- you can direct the Thrust directly at the Ball or in front of it or behind it. By varing the Aiming Point, it is possible -- but not necessarily advisable -- to have one Ball location for all Clubs (regardless of Shaft length). Alternatively, you can have one Aiming Point (and hence one Release Point Feel) and move the Ball Location. You can use the Aiming Point at any time, but its highest and best use is to control Automatic Snap Releases.

2. Remember, there is no single "correct" Delivery Path (of the Hands Downplane). It is possible to Trace the Plane Line while executing any one of the five defined Delivery Paths of 10-23 (two Straight Line Paths, two Angled Line Paths and one Circle Path). Regardless of the Delivery Path chosen, the Aiming Point Thrust is always a straight-line effort, even with Circle Path (6-E-2-1).

3. Release Points and Release Types are also the player's option, regardless of the Basic Power source, i.e., Centrifugal Force (Swinging) or Muscular Thrust (Hitting). The six possible combinations comprise Component 24, Power Package Release and are listed in 10-24.

4. The Arc of Approach is the Visual Equivalent (curved Clubhead Blur) of the Basic Delivery Line (Straight Plane Line). Therefore, you could locate the Aiming Point on it. However, locating it on the Plane Line produces the exact same result and is far more precise, i.e., a straight line is easier to use than a curved line.

5. You should monitor either the Delivery Path (of the Hands) or the Delivery Line (of the Right Forearm and Clubhead), but not both at the same time. The Delivery Path always has top priority, and when you use it, you will automatically be Tracing the Plane Line.
