I can "shoot" using the Right Fore-Arm Angle of Approach, or the hand position at IMpact Fix, or I can shape a shot by shooting my hands at diff. positions. That's it?

IC, you don't have to be an engineer to see that if you make a straight line hand effort towards Impact Fix, that you won't be Hitting down, but instead will be steering towards the target, because the hands aren't(shouldn't) be traveling down plane at impact, but rather up and in. You must drive PP#3 towards a suitable point on the plane line from the top before release.

What about when Yoda says "the hands have to go down!" Hmmm is that why my ball flight is so frackn high and my distance is so puny?

This seems to help a bit...no uncocking just roll?
Quote:
Having your Left Wrist Uncocked at Impact will lead to Clubhead Thowaway and toe deep divots. When the golfer, during Release and Impact, continues to Uncock the Left Wrist past the Level condition (4-B-1) rather then using the roll of the Hand, Level Left Wrist and #3 Accumulator with it’s Rhythm thru Impact to Follow-Through (2-P), we are looking at Steering (3-F-7-A); a Horizontal Wrist Motion, and a Bent Left Wrist. So the Left Wrist is not only Bent (which makes the ball go left), but also Uncocked giving excessive toe down divots and a nice “soft” Impact. Centrifugal Acceleration is lost.
Educated Hands understand that the Perpendicular (Vertical) Left Wrist Uncocking Motion is a Clubhead Motion and the Roll is a Hand Motion whether Simultaneous (Hitting) or Sequenced (Swinging) controls the Clubface. Both must be differentiated. Look at the picture of the Golfer’s Flail in 2-K#4 and #5. Let it incubate into the coconut. In fact, I built my own Flail per Yoda’s recommendation. It does not allow Horizontal Wrist Motion. Mine is bolted so that the swingle (club) can not go past the Level condition. Per 4-D-0, when the Wrist Motion throws the Clubface at the ball there will be Clubhead Throwaway (unless using 10-2-D). Having a fully Uncocked Left Wrist at Impact also may zero out the #3 Accumulator giving up almost all Transfer Power.
For the Right Forearm Flying Wedge and its Level Wrist to be on Plane the Right Elbow must be bent and on Plane (not run out of Right Arm). We are then able to trace our Plane Line with our Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point. All are a by-product of the Right Shoulder being Plane due to proper Waist Bend, Hip Shift; Axis Tilt. All return to their Impact Fix location. If the Right Elbow is straight and high and the Right Shoulder is off Plane at this point, all bets are off.

hb, I thought we were discussing it - as I said above, it's a point on the plane line(usually at or near the ball location) at which you direct PP#3 with the pivot(or right tricep) from the top.
The idea is to guarantee Imperative #3, A straight Plane Line. From the top, the LFW along with the sweetspot, rotated into it, and, ideally, the Right Shoulder also on the plane of the LFW, is driven by the Right Shoulder toward the Aiming Point on the Plane Line. Down to release of #2, both PP#3 and the sweetspot are heading for the Aiming Point. Sometime after The left wrist starts uncocking, Throwout kicks in, at which point the hands appear to the golfer to be arcing to the left, as the LFW moves off plane with the left shoulder moving up and back. At that point, a line from PP#3 through the sweetspot, is still tracing the Plane Line. Once Throwout has kicked in and the LFW is moving off plane, the Aiming Point's purpose has been fulfilled.
But some, forgetting about PA#3, apparently think driving PP#3 at a point on the Plane Line will cause the hands to go flying out over the plane line.
IC, "no uncocking", seriously???? To help what? We're talking about Aiming Point.
My mistake.
For the some TGM students and for me, I know/suspect it is rather confusing to get to IMpact Fix, be able to shape shots dependably and control the target line, but lack power consistently.
I was hoping that perhaps because of the title of this thread, I might get help understanding why I am losing power through understanding the aiming point concept which I have read but cannot picture. Obviously, I showed my lack of understanding by asking a question which tends to happen with real questons. I won't stop asking sadly, I guess, for some of you.
Perhaps the Lyme disease meds are still clouding me up. But so what?
I answer hundreds of stupid questions a day, with more grace than shown here. I have discovered over the last couple of years that a lot of times students just need the encouragement to know they are getting warmer so they can discover the insight if they keep focusing on a certain concept. But that's my business and my concern as a professional teacher.
Thinking "win-win" is really helpful on an electronic posting site, I believe. Sometimes, really dumb questions can stimulate new trains of thought and new ideas. Otherwise, no one writes and no one answers except those that "know everything."
Lynn, happily, is a really good teacher and knows a lot.

Ict the aiming point can make your release automatic. The aim point can be utilized by simply picking a spot on the ground at, slightly in front of or slightly behind the ball. It is a very small range we're talking about here about a three inch range it's very precise. For the driver say have the aiming point slightly behind the ball and thrust the number three pressure point with a cocked left wrist directly at the aiming point this will create an automatic release and power can be metered out precisely. For a wedge move the aiming point slightly in front of the ball, 7 iron right at the ball. You will have to experiment with different aiming points for your own swing. However only once the mechanics of trigger delay and release are learned can you really utilize the aim point. Of course the farther forward the aim point the more delayed the release but don't get crazy with it, it's a small range this is where clampett and others got it wrong. You can't aim so far forward that there is no hinge no uncock and roll the release must sufficiently precede impact

Does JB Holmes use an exaggerated aiming point as he shows the Golf Channel on his video? I will experiment. I was aiming my # 3 at the inside quadrant of the ball as I drove my shoulder and Power Package down.
