AIM POINT 6-E-2.

I took lessons from a man who was NOT a TGM degree holder, but taught out of the book.

I cut the ball all of my life. He had me place a tee where I would normally tee the ball. Then he would put a ball on a tee about 6-8" in front of the tee. He had me aim at the tee in front of me while hitting the ball, all while hitting downoutthrough. The ball flew straight or drew. Is this what 6-E-2 is describing?

100% correct! Some folks confuse aiming point with low point . . . kind of like a bunker shot where you look at the sand and HAVE THE CLUB STRIKE THE SAND AT THAT POINT. Aiming Point as you have seen demonstrated is about directing THRUST . . . not the Destination of the Clubhead. 6-E-2 is one of the best contributions of Mr. Kelley to golf. With the aiming point procedure you can have the Aiming Point be CONSTANT and move the ball to have the same release feel . . . OR you can keep your ball position constant and move the Aiming Point forward, aft, or at the ball.

Mr. Kelley in the 4th edition had a particularly lucid example of Aiming Point being like the free hand drawing of straight lines on a chalk board. You place your chalk on point A, look at point B and draw the line. By looking at the chalk you'd screw the pooch. So with aiming point from the top . . . you are mentally constructing a straight line of thrust from top down and THROUGH the Aiming Point via your #3 Pressure Point . . . . that pressure point is your chalk, the starting point is Top, the straight line is the extension of the Straight Line Delivery Path of your hands (and lag pressure) and the destination is down and through the aiming point which is on your Delivery Line.
