"standing on the corner, 12 th street and vine". (Hit it City) Where the heck are you guys? Kev have you tried an aiming point several inches in front of the ball for the driver? Several inches after (target side) for a wedge? I really love it for the driver, really. When Im hitting, 12-1, with a driver I tend to get some fades which are in play but not as long as a draw. With the aiming point deal I release it better. Blammo. It gives the longer lever a chance to square up and vice versa for the shorter lever , wedge. For me I just look at that spot, aiming point , as opposed to staring at the ball, like I would in a bunker say. For balls played forward , at or in front of low point with a driver, I keep the clubhead aligned to my feet or low point as per usual, move the ball forward a tad and aim at the Aiming Point which is just in front of the clubface. For some reason I get all out a whack when I address a ball forward of low point with the clubhead right beside it. Like Im going to fat the ground on the way back and through or something. If the clubhead is forward of low point too and laying on the ground as opposed to hovered, it must bottom out in both directions, right? Maybe it wouldnt be a problem if I hovered it? I dunno. The Aiming Point concept has an anti steering aspect to it as well , I think, as the ball starts to become like Homer's dandelion. Im really starting to think the ball doesnt like to be looked at directly. Im trying to sneak up on it when its not watching. Sort of whistling and talking about other stuff and then blam. Trevino style. The ball doesnt have a clue what just happened. It works really nicely with The Three Stations. Last edited by O.B.Left : 04-14-2010 at 10:05 AM.
