What is the target?

Brian,
What is the target? The place you are trying to hit it (ala Rotella), the aiming point, or something else?
thanks

Do you mean like what should you be focusing on or aligning yourself to when you hit a shot?

 

[bcoak]

Focus. What is your target. Rotella wants you to focus on the smallest possible target like a leaf or small brown area in the distance.

If you get good you could end up with a lot of crappy lies if you play that way There are different targets. where you are aiming to fly the ball some players see a hole at the apex of their flight that they aim at . Where you are looking to strike the ball inside aft quadrant . Where you are directing your hands to be at impact. Each will have varying significance depending where your game is at and what works for you.

1) I look at where i want the ball to end up after my very small draw

2) then i aim at where i want the start

3) i align myself to that point with something very close to me like a tee or a leaf on the ground.

Then i just strike the inside back corner of the ball

Question

Your aim the toe line first then align the club face

or

Your aim the club face first then you align your toe line


While you are aiming, where do you put your eye point from?

Brian, what is our target?

My target is to flatten the ball into the ground with the clubface.Not what actually happens but what it feels like.
