just love ...the thin divots ...

EdZ,

As the 'ImageMeister,' you are the best! I applaud that approach as a means
of converting correct Golf Stroke Mechanics into describable sensations. And
the 'Wheel Rim' Swinging Hands Image is fine for Swinging.
However...

When you Hit, you Drive! You don't Swing your Right Hand
around a 'Hub.' you Thrust it in a straight line! And for Straightaway
Flight with your Middle and Short Irons, the Ball is best positioned well up
the Plane from Low Point. That means 'Good-bye' thin divots and
'Hello' serious turf!

Driving the Lag into the Ground -- Hitting or Swinging -- and watching
the Turf fly and the Ball streak for the Flag is fun. :oops:A
greenskeeper's worst nightmare, of course, but fun!

Best of all -- especially with the Middle and Short Irons and with the Ball
positioned for Straightaway Flight, i.e., no Aiming Point Manipulation -- it
is geometrically correct.
