I am sure no disrespect is intended by anyone toward Mr. Doyle. I think Yoda would agree with your analysis. Many believe that Ben and also Bobby Clampett have "aiming point" wrong. Maybe they do.

But the book states that the aiming point concept can change depending on invididual hand speed, either aft or forward. So if you stated an "aiming point" near the left foot, is that necessarily incorrect? That is, in fact, forward of the ball.

Also, frame one and two of the Ben swing is classic "spoke" straight line from the top right to the ball. He surely isnt doing a wheel rim procedure. Hogan, by contrast, swings to the end and then an Arc/straight line movement.

I am always struck by how far off the right foot Hogan is on the downswing, and the down toward the ground thrust. Amazing. Obviously far more powerful that Ben's action(Doyle that is). (in fairness that is not Ben in his prime when he played a tour event).

I interchanged the "Ben's" there, but too lazy to change it.
