Hi Libero,

My take (and 50 cents will get you 1/2 a cup of coffee) .

Aiming point is not necessarily in front of the ball for all irons. Homer used the example of using the ball as an aiming point for a 5 iron (hypothetical). In this case, aiming point for shorter irons would most likely be in front of the ball and longer behind the ball.

However, I do believe Homer was dead on when he said your aiming point is best found through trial and error due to everyone having different handspeed, ball placement, etc.

Hope this helps.

Patrick
