Standing on a corner in Winslow, AZ
With such a fine sight to see
It's a 10-3-A using a 2-J-3-B
Flying to the middle of a green
C'mon baby fade like crazy
I gotta see that TITLEIST sit down on that pin
And I don't mean maybe
I need a date for the trip and a location to work on as budget! I'm working through July in Summer school to afford the TITLEISTS!

BTW, Kevin, I like G. Straight, but I haven't sat with his music. AND IOU big.

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.

OB, when you hit like what you described to Kevin..
Do you do this?
The Standard Shoulder Turn (10-13-A) is a Compatible Variation (Chapter 13) with the Impact Address Position (10-9-B). So, there is no reason to change this Component Variation. Unless, of course, you want to.
However, be aware that the Impact Address position does have its limitations. As a result, Impact condition should never be the Address Position "except for special purposes" (7-9). The Short Shots, for example. Remember, in the Impact Address Position, the entire Machine is set in its Impact condition, not just the Hands and Club. That includes the Body.
So, when you are set with your Hips that far to the Left (Hip Slide parallel to the Delivery Line 7-12) and turned (7-14), you've got some work to do in Start Up! Namely, in your Full Strokes, you've got to get that Lower Body -- which has been deliberately positioned as Leading the Hands and Club into their Impact Location -- must now be turned 'out of the way,' through the "fluid position between the weight shifting" (7-9), to where it is once again Leading the Power Package Components. But this time, into the Backstroke! This sequencing of the Pivot Components (7-12) establishes the Pivot Lag and Drag, the 'gear train' effect described in 6-C-0.
A personal illustration: At address, Larry Nelson -- "Hogan with a smile" -- has always set up with his Hands in their Impact Location and Alignments. Years ago, I asked him why he didn't set his Body up the same way.
"I could, I guess..."
And then, as he considered the question, he shifted his entire Machine into its Impact Condition, a shockingly big move for Larry. Talk about your basic Cleared Right Hip!
"But that's a lot of trouble, and it's a lot of work to get back."
The question now answered in his own mind, he concluded, "It's not necessary."
And as usual, about matters golf, he was right.

And they do this by learning to hit the Ball with the heel of the
Right Hand (and its Pressure against the Left Hand Thumb).
Learn to hit the Ball with the Pressure Points in your Hands.
The Club becomes irrelevant.
