When executing the hitter's cut chip without pivot, do you try to strike the outside aft quadrant of the ball? Do your eyes focus on the aiming point or the back of the ball?

I personally do not aim at a particular point on the Ball. Instead, I simply Trace the Plane Line with my Right Forearm and #3 Pressure Point, and this automatically causes the Clubhead to move Down, Out and Forward (On Plane) through the inside-aft quadrant of the Ball.
I Trace the Plane Line whether it is Square, Open or Closed (to the Target Line) and with any Hinge Action (Horizontal, Angled or Vertical). Thus, even though I am aware only of the Ball's general Location, Impact will occur -- automatically and always -- on the Ball's inside-aft quadrant relative to the selected Plane Line.
My "personal" version of the cut chip that i teach to almost everybody initially and then let them change it on their own is to hit the BACK of the ball (3 o'clock) with a square face and an angled hinge while drawing a straight plane line and "hitting it" with a push elbow using pp #1.
This makes the ball initally travel slightly left of target due to the square contact but then because of the angled hinge it will bounce to the right.
So it's like a mini pull fade
