I need a definition of line of sight to the ball. Does this mean the hands are in line with the ball to the eyes? If this is true than the hands would block my view of the ball at something during the swing?
the intent of this don't really have nothing to do with delayed release or none of that junk. the intent was to show that the shaft needs to lean past your vertical perspective due to where your eyeballs are in releation to the ball.

so you can get this a couple of ways. set up to the ball and lay a dowel down from the ball vertical to your stance line. move the shaft so it is covering the shaft from your perspective as you hold it at address. from there push your hips forward and open and get the handle forward. from your perspective impact is likely to look like your hands are covering your left toe.

since your eyes aren't directly over the ball could actually be behind the ball too . . .your perspective (line of sight) is skewed. So look in a mirror get your shaft vertical to the ground ala adjusted address. look where your hands appear to be . . . then pose impact and look where you hands appear to be when you push your hips and handle forward to get the shaft leaning.
