You do not thrust your lag pressure , the sweetspot at your left foot. The Aiming Point moves but not much , just a few inches fore and aft of the ball along the Arc or Angle of Approach, nowhere near your left foot.

To miss out on Homers actual Aiming Point Procedure is a loss. Its the alternate procedure to Tracing, a geometrical equivalent but with decidedly more DOWN and OUT in feel and in real too. Thrust being cross line, Down and OUt to Both Arms Straight. Moving the Aiming Point fore and aft manages the way longer clubs/levers switch ends, square up slower. Very useful things that the Impact Hands Location doesnt address.

For the record Mr Doyle, as the first A.I., had the insurmountable task of interpreting Homers crazy book of riddles to the masses. He did an amazing job and left a map for the rest of us to follow and refine. Respectfully.
I watched videos from Gregg McHatton that studied under Ben Doyle and Rick Nielson that is a student of McHatton, I watched Doyle's free videos as well. I looks to me they teach pivot controlled hands. McHatton insists a lot on soft wrists and hard work from the pivot, and I get the same feeling from seeing Ben Doyle in his video teaching students. My guess is that with pivot controlled hands they preferred to change the aiming point concept since they might not want to put "the mind on the hands".
