The Aiming Point


Thanks to Martee for this image.

Note the shadowed 'arrow' beginning at the end of the Delivery Path and pointing directly at the ball. This arrow is the true representation of the Aiming Point (that point on the Delivery Line at which the Hands direct the thrust of the Stroke per 6-E-2). Interestingly, very few students of TGM have ever actually noticed this arrow, even though it is in each of the photos illustrating Zone 3 (the Hands Lane) and also, each of the Power Package Component Variations (#19 through #24).

As illustrated in the photo, this Aiming Point is normally the Ball -- specifically, its 'inside-aft' quadrant (7-11). This 'at the Ball' Aiming Point assumes that the Ball is correctly located in the Stance to compensate for the different lengths of clubs. From the Top, the player directs the Hands at and through this Aiming Point (10-23-A/B). This assures that the Hands will arrive in their 'forward of the Ball' Impact Fix Hand Location (7-8; 9-3-2) and that the Clubhead will descend properly to its Low Point (opposite the Left Shoulder / 2-N-0).

The diagrams I posted yesterday in the Endless Belt thread also illustrate the Aiming Point (red arrow) and the resultant Impact Hand Location.
