Do u always take into account all the items you describe prior hitting a drive?

I don't know that I'm 100% sure what you mean by visual ref. pt....
U mean where the club strikes a divot?
...
Ya....for a driver or longer clubs don't worry about it so much unless you're really trying for that extra downward strike (for a low trajectory shot)....
Usually for those clubs the blow is not as desceding....just make a motion man.
Alter setup and/or aim the hands SOMEWHERE more forward when you need to. (as I outlined below)
...
It's really not that hard to DO....IF your hands are trained (I can see how it could be tricky to understand all this at once tho)...
You might need to let this all "incubate" in your noggin for a while...
...
But to simplify further...
Bacically there are 2 ways to alter the amount of shaft lean, the Aiming Point, where your hands are at Impact (they are all basically the same thing) I think:
1. adjust setup (with ball location relating to l. shoulder in mind)...i.e. ball position, weight distribution, stance width...this is easier than #2 obviously....you take care of it beforehand
2. aim hands mid swing
Hope that helps.
