I'm currently working more on right forearm tracing, but when I was working on aiming point I just read it out of the book and this excerpt really helped:
Quote:
Increased Handspeed and/or a Sweep Release moves it (aiming point) aft of its 'normal' Handspeed location and decreased Handspeed and/or Trigger Delay moves it forward.
For me, I just didn't see why I should move the ball around if I have the aiming point down pretty good. So, I keep it in the same position, except for the driver and that's if I'm trying to get some more distance.
Just wondering from your comment; is right forearm tracing a replacement for aim point in TGM?
Do you keep the ball position in the same place whether you are using a sandwedge or 3 iron? Off your left forearm or there abouts?
Thanks,
Jim
I believe so, although I'm not an expert in TGM. And yes I'll keep it in about the same position with a SW or a 3 iron. Unless I'm trying to hit it a little lower then I'll move it back a little.
I was just wondering if you aim pp#3 or from #1 at the aim point for hitting? It would seems to a hitter that having #1pp as the imaginary line to the aim point would be easier if I feel that way it is obviously wrong.
I am curious about your comment about trying to hit a club lower by moving the aim point back. That seems to me to be opposite of what I would have thought. I thought that the more clubshaft lean the lower the ball flight? Maybe I am thinking about this all wrong?
No, what I meant was if I want a lower trajectory, I'll move the ball position back further in my stance and the aim point pretty much stays in the same spot. I actually do not run into this a lot except for with the driver.
6-E-2
"Actually, when in doubt there is always the impact fix hand location procedure."
"The Machine delivers the #3PP to impact fix hand location at impact with all delivery paths, delivery lines, pulley sizes, etc, because it structure is designed to do just that."
I set straightaway ball flight location according to the built-in forward shaft lean of each club, and glommed onto the above quotes from 6-E-2 The Aiming Point Concept. And visualize the angle of approach as parallel to the angle of the right forearm at on-plane impact fix location, and occasionally monitor the clubhead blur covering it.
