You may have something there yodeli. I understand where low point is and I adjust my ball position with different clubs in relation to low point in my set up but it's not anything I think about in my stroke. With hitting, I drive pp1 at the ball. With swinging, I direct cf at the ball with pp3. Should I actually be driving/directing thrust to low point? Aim at low point?

Yes, exactly!
It is indeed very different that aiming at the ball.
Think about it:
For a 3 iron, low point could be an inch after the ball and a little to the outside.
For a driver, low point could be an inch before the ball and (a very) little to the inside (if you want to hit slightly up on the ball!).
In those two examples, if you direct the thrust at the ball you may end up with moving your low point and your entire machine to comply - sway and bob!

Well I have been working very hard on my basic curriculum with the help of suggestions from O.B Left and yodeli and others and watching the Colin Neeman videos over and over. I discovered that I had not been keeping a flat left wrist, it was close but not flat! Hard to believe I have been half-assing one of the three imperatives. Anyway, I went to the range and had the most fun just going through the bag hitting shots with basic and acquired motion, driving my flat left wrist down out and forward (I could've used some more down in hindsight) with my #1pp. I never stroked it with my swinging motion (I'm a hitter now ). It was a blast! No thin shots, no shanks, just tons of compressions and solid shots. I am battling some low left shots with the longer clubs. I might be overdoing the out in my hitting stroke or maybe a little quick. The long clubs were the last ones I hit so maybe my rhythm was off a bit. Anyway, I would like to thank Homer, Lynn, O.B., yodeli, and everybody else on these forums for all the great insight into G.O.L.F. I'm hooked on hitting!
Hey guys. I'm still making great progress in my hitting stroke. I haven't taken it to the course yet because I'm battling my driver and 3 wood, low and hooking but very solid feeling. I went from a 10-2-D to a 10-2-B grip thinking that was the problem but it wasn't . Irons are great, very accurate and solid. Any thoughts on my problem? I might be getting a little lazy with the "out" in my stroke. I've been so focused on driving down to China I sometimes forget to drive out. Could that be it?

Make sure you give yourself enough time to transition from Top to Start Down and accomplish the necessary Drive Loading (10-19-A). Especially from the Hitter's shorter Backstroke, the tendency is to rush.
Remember, the Pivot (Right Shoulder) provides the intial acceleration of the Power Package (Shoulders, Arms, Hands and Club). From there, you have only your Bent Right Arm to provide the Thrust. If the Right Arm begins to straighten too soon, you will have Triggered the Release, and you will 'run out of Right Arm' by Impact (an automatic Throwaway).
