Educating my hands - please help (way too long)
I'm converting from switter to swinger under AI guidance. Here is a point of confusion - demonstrated by the fact I'm not getting to both arms straight.

Growing up playing baseball, I took hitting lessons from very knowledgeable coach. The drill we worked on the most was as follows: Imagine there is a knife in the butt end of the bat - stick that knife in the pitcher. The result was very powerful. When I took up golf, I tried this same motion. It never quite worked (now I think it didn't work because I was still aiming the knife at the pitcher). Ultimately I ran accross some Peter Croker stuff - their teaching was to get rid of my pulling sensation and to move to a pushing sensation. Honestly, I never fully felt the pushing sensation - even when I tried to become a hitter. All I did was mix the two with occasional good results.

Now, after more description than you probably wanted, my question. I think the stick a knife in it imagery is probably similar to 10-19's drawing the arrow feathered end first. Where do I stick the knife? My thought now is that the butt must always point at the plane line, so it's going to be a point on the plane line. Do I stick it in the aim point as 10-19-C #2 appears to show (If I'm not misreading the book - this point can move forward or aft depending on various things)? I don't see how doing this I can concern myself with impact fix hand location. At any rate, am I on the right track with this knife in the butt of the club imagery? If I'm not please stop me now.

Now if I'm on the right track with these things - a big IF. How do I take this sam move to a one foot backswing? I had the chip then acquired motion lesson last time and made good progress, but I didn't do it with educated hands. Where do I stick the knife in the butt ofthe club on a one foot chip? OR, is a chip more of a hit that requires pushing out with the right palm? Whatever I should be doing, please chime in so I can work on the right thing.
