I have spent many, many hours playing with the aiming point concept. I don't believe that is has a major effect on a golfer's ability produce a straight line versus non-straight line hand delivery path in the early downswing.

I think that the straight line thrust is mainly useful for sensing/maintaining clubhead lag and it may/may not affect the release point of PA#2.

Jeff, downswing waggle, aiming point, delivery path, plane shift - they are all linked together...where is your data from all your hours playing...what are you basing your conclusions on...."feels as if"? Surely some of those hours playing with these concepts have been caught on video at the very least?

I would love to see 3D data - with trackman if you have it - of a player using aiming point concept, various aiming points....see what happens...if you really want to know this stuff then you have to try it with feedback.... convert some of those hours into dollars (time is money) and rent some trackman time... I'm sure the custom fitting guys are feeling the credit crunch and would love to rent you the T-man for a few hours.... it's not like they'll be selling many clubs at the moment!

THEN post your data using aiming concept rather than Hogan data when he almost certainly wasn't using it.
