Eyes
Where do the eyes focus in the golf swing?
Golf ball?
Aiming point?
Somewhere else?
If the golf ball do you focus on a particular quadrant, dimple, or what?

Hocus Focus
IMO, I see the whole ball, but in clear focus. Seeing a blurred ball can mean your mind is not focused and your mind is in a "confused mental state".

The “On Plane” Pressure Point Thrust of the Power Accumulators translates their Potential Energy into Clubhead “On Plane” Kinetic Energy – always at Right Angles to the Clubshaft. However, it is Clubhead Lag Pressure (10-11-0-2 and 10-11-0-3), educated per 5-0 that enables the player to comply with Delivery Path requirements (2-J-3 and 7-23). Clubhead Lag (Pressure Points 1, 2 and/or 3) deals exclusively with the Sweet Spot Plane (2-F, 7-5) and is always driven into Impact – at a point, normally, on the inside aft quadrant of the Ball per 7-3. As the Ball is moved toward the Right Foot, the Fix alignment of the Clubface becomes more and more “Closed” to THE DELIVERY PATH, DELIVERY LINE AND THE LAG PRESSURE POINT (for a straightaway Flight Line). Study 7-3.

The eyes are focused where the #3 PP is aimed.

The “Angle of Approach” position of the Right Forearm shows the precise Cross-Line direction the Forearm must take through Impact. It, thereby, precisely locates the visual Impact Point – where the eye must direct the Pressure Point #3 – the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball. Remember, the Actual Angle of Approach of the Clubhead is determined by Ball Position (2-N) so the Cross Line position of the Right Forearm is ONLY the On Plane Forearm Thrust per 1-L-9/10/11. Even with the Pitch Basic Stroke. So the Right Forearm must leave – and precisely return to – its own Fix Position (7- “Angle of Approach” (regardless of the true Clubhead Angle of Approach) because both procedures will produce identical Clubhead Delivery Lines.

Where you put your eyes is one thing. How you align your head can have a profound influence on the outcome.

For instance: You can take a practice stroke while you look at the target - and everything works all right. Or you can take a perfect practice stroke while you look towards the back swing. Then, if you tilt your head - up or down, right or left - it can ruin your stroke. The head location and orientation has a huge impact on how you move the pivot.

Thanks Daryl,
I think the hard part is re-learning to focus on the aiming point and not the ball
