The thrust has to go somewhere, and the ball is not at all a bad point to direct it. And since the hands delivery path is tredimentional down, out and forward the inside aft of the ball at 4 o'clock is even more precise than just the ball.

The amount of lag pressure on #3pp can with experience be used to determine how much thrust is required to fly the ball a certain distance. Especially handy on putts, chipshots, pitches and other shots less than full swings.

The aiming point concept was hard for me to grasp in the beginning, and mulitiple questions regarding where the aiming point is exactly, always was answered: "you need to figure it out for yourself". So I guess it's one of the things you can't just figure out intellecturally and then do it, you need to go and dig it out of the dirt.
