Need some simple ideas.

Hello all, I am pretty new here and don't post very often, but its because I don't feel I know enough to ask an intelligent question. But, I do read the forums quite often.

Tell me if I've got this right or guide me where I'm wrong.

From the top of my backswing, is my goal to get my hands to impact fix by traveling straight to that point? In other words, I know where my hands should be at impact, so I am trying to get from the hands up over my right shoulder to impact in as straight of a line as possible. Provided this is correct, should I try to continue on that downward, outward direction with my hands or is the position the 'end of the line' for my efforts?
