If one aims the hands in a straight line thrust direction towards the aiming point (ball), why do Hogan's hands first go backwards before they go forwards? Conceptually, if one thrusts one's hands in a straight line direction towards the ball from the top of the swing, then the hands should go in a straight line direction towards the ball (down-and-out-and-forwards), and not first go down-and-out-and-backwards.
