I think this is interesting with regards to aiming point...I feel like if you went to Top and then zero'ed out your pivot and just dumped your accumulators out on plane you would bury the club in the ground several feet behind the ball out but not quite to the plane line....
if you have people do this they will not have "whacky alignments"...generally their wrist conditions will be good...not throwaway trying to hit the ground 3 feet behind the ball or whatever....
You can learn that the arms and club seek the ground down plane...as you add pivot and the turning left shoulder it brings the clubhead forward...you can do this incrementally bringing the fat shot further closer to the ball...still seeking the ground...
I actually have "two aiming points"...I try to sling my arms and sweetspot down and out to the plane line well behind the ball ....BUT....I aim my PIVOT well downplane several feet in front of the ball....I don't try to "see the club hit the ball"....I don't want that....I try to "get out of dodge" with the pivot...the pivot must be quick...to bring the orbit of the sweetspot forward to engage the turf in the correct spot...but maybe you should try to do this or "see" the club do this...
You have found your personal aiming point the correct way by making the arms accomodate pivot speed. By looking for the club head, the pivot speed might be compromised, and so the only thing to be looking at is the aiming point. This is NOT pivot controlled hands.
TT used different techniques for different students. In one instance, TT told him to actually try to bury the hosel into the ground to the right of his right foot using only the muscles of his arms. This student clearly had such an ingrained pivot, TT knew that it wasn't necessary to even mention it. In only 3 iterations, he was on a new ball striking level beyond anything he could have ever imagined.
