AIMING POINT CONCEPT - BOBBY CLAMPETT
Homer Kelley’s The Golfing Machine was the book that most
influenced my own game, and my teacher Ben Doyle taught me the
book’s aiming point concept. It works like this:
Draw an imaginary line from your hands at the top of the backswing to
a point a foot or so in front of the ball along the target line. As the
backswing transitions to the downswing, the goal is to have your
hands pass over that mark in front off the ball before the club does.
Just a swing or two using the technique and your divots will move
forward, your impact will be more solid.
♦ Right forearm is driven (thrown) through impact
♦ If you run out of right arm before low point, you have no choice but to
throw away your flying wedges.
♦ Impact Elbow While the golfer wants 'impact hands', it's important to
also have 'impact elbow.' Regardless of what the critics say about having
the right forearm on plane at address or even at impact, any critic with
any credibility will concur that the right elbow should still be slightly bent
at impact. So, don't just move the hands forward until the two shafts are
parallel with each other and create 'impact hands.' You need to make sure
that you create impact hands while still having the right elbow bent.
