Having the opportunity to be a student of Ben Doyles, is something very special. Stick with it, and continue to read posts here.

Aiming point (AP) is one of the most "foggy" concepts in TGM (IMO). It's something you have to experience for yourself because it's dependent of how and when you swing/hit and release. In short it's the point on the planeline where you aim the thrust. For most people the AP is up to a couple of inches after the ball for wedge shots, and up to a couple of inches before the ball for drivers.

But do a seach, many have been asking about aiming point before you!

If I've got it right, Clampett has it about 4 inches in front of the where the ball is.

You *can* do it for drivers, but the Trackman devices are showing that basically you want the aimpoint for a driver before the ball because you want to hit up a little with a driver. Recent article showed that JB Holmes and Tiger had virtually the same swing speed, but Holmes was hitting about 3 degrees up with the driver whereas Tiger was hitting 3 degrees down and that is believed to be why Holmes hits it much further than Tiger.
