The 7th Edition claims that using the Snap Release requires the Aiming Point Concept. This is an obvious mistake.

The Aiming Point Concept is used for Random Sweep Releases. An Aiming Point can locate a Snap Release but a Snap Release cannot locate an Aiming Point.

The Purpose of the Aiming Point is to relocate the Release Point to correct for Ball Location.

Daryl,
I had that change hand written in my book on June 11, 1982 per Homer. Not sure if that changes your outlook/perspective - I just know that there seems to be a lot of 7th edition revisions that are questioned to their validity.

Looks like I'll be playing on the course around JUNE this year! :( Where did all this snow come from? I'm still waiting for Global Warming.

Thanks for this guys. I dont have the 7th. Interesting.

I remember Yoda talking about the best way to learn Snap being via the Aiming Point Procedure but didnt know Homer thought it to be a requirement ....... Makes me think about Hogans out to right field plane diagram again. Not just a mistaken Arc of Approach, or Alternate Target Line angle but a direction of Thrust thing too maybe? He sure did like to come at the ball from the inside....and rightly so.

Tracing and Aiming Point are said to be alternate procedures , the same geometrically but they are different in feel and often in real Id say. There's just more Down and Out, more Cross Line Thrust all the way to Both Arms Straight with the Aiming Point Procedure for me anyways. For most short shots I Trace however. Right Forearm fanning goes with Tracing, Right Elbow bending with Aiming Point sorta kinda. The more my Right Arm Motion gets throw like the more I prefer the Aiming Point.

How 'bout you?

P.S. Im talking Homer's Aiming Point of course (not the visual of the hands at impact version, the Impact Hands Location that is mis labeled to by some as an Aiming Point)

Our snow is all gone and 58 degrees today. We'll be playing soon.

Aiming point is on the Angle or Arc of Approach Delivery Lines. For a Snap Release, the Ball is on the Plane Line. I don't see how they're compatible.

You should have been playing TODAY! 58 and no snow - that's like a summer day here.

My Head Hurts
 

Confusion!

6th Edition-

Chapter 6-E-ALL

6-E-1 ............ The procedure presented below is essentially an indirect and automatic equivalent of the Flat Left Wrist procedure in chapter 7-8. And is mandinatory for control of any Snap Release.

6-E-2 THE AIMING POINT CONCEPT ............

I got it over my left toe like Ben Doyle's "Facts and Illusions" mat. BUT I sure would like to get it straight in my head.

Aiming Point Search Party
 

I posted on the Aiming Point concept a few years ago. The search function should unearth it.

I buy that. My temporary confusion was vastly overstated.

is this one relevant too?
http://www.lynnblakegolf.com/forum/thread7767-68.html #673

673 is one of the better posts I have read, clears up a lot on aiming point and also provides useful information on a variety of subjects.

Little confused though on the Right Forearm angle of approach picture in 10-19-A #2, the further forward at it points (on plane of course) at impact the better?
