However, I would say that there probably is no where in a golf swing where you could let go of the club and the shaft would arrow into the ball on the ground...
I have not seen the Greg McHatton video and therefore cannot speak to the referenced drill.
However, my own Gallery 'live lesson' demo (where I throw the 'javelin' at the Ball) demonstrates how to establish the precise Down Plane Delivery Path of the Hands -- the Line of Thrust from the Top to the Aiming Point.
The Clubshaft and the Clubhead have their own Inclined Plane of Motion. Both are controlled by the selected Delivery Line. That is, the player Traces the Geometric Plane Line or Covers either of its Visual Equivalents, the Angle of Approach (Hitting) or the Arc of Approach (Swinging).
