"As the Sweetspot moves Up, Back and In On Plane, the Shaft rotates off its own Plane and onto the Sweetspot's Plane. For Swingers, that Rotation is accomplished during the Start Up Swivel. The Clubshaft then remains on the Sweetspot Plane during the remainder of the Backstroke and also into the Downstroke until the Release Swivel once again rotates the Shaft around the Sweetspot and back onto its own Plane. For Hitters, that Rotation is gradual on the Backstroke -- the Pivot and Arm Swing bring the Left Wrist and its Angled Hinge Action into an On Plane alignment at the Top -- and the Downstroke Rotation mirrors that of the Backstroke."
Just when I thought I understood the plane in plain terms! Will a learned someone please educate me a bit on sweetspot plane v. shaft plane? I understand that the shaft is connected to the hosel several inches from the club's sweetspot but how on earth do you ensure that the shaft is on the sweetspot plane? Hurry before I am enG.O.L.Fed!
Best to glue a string or thin rod on an old club from where pp3 touches the shaft to the sweet spot. Move the club on the take-away and watch it rotate in relationship to the shaft. The shaft is a proxie- the sweetspot plane is the real deal.
I just read 2-F a dozen times, seemingly for the very first time (although I know better.)
The plane is the inclined angle that the clubshaft forms when properly soled.
It is recommended that the right forearm be postioned at the very same angle and remain on the same inclined plane throughout. Is the sweetspot plane then another line emminating from the sweetspot rather than the hosel? Just read 2-N-O a dozen times, seemingly for the first time. The References to the "sweetspot plane" are all over the place! I fear I have missed something really important. That yellow book has reduced me to a blubbering mess yet again! If inclined, please break this to me sweetly. Cringing for a potential bludgeoning.

The shaft is a proxie, as young Lynn explained it. It subs for the sweetspot plane because it is attached to the clubhead but when push comes to shove, it is the sweetspot plane that we "swing." The shaft rotates around the sweet spot. Make a quick model with string and scotch tape and check it out.
When you see pictures of the clubhead racing ahead of the shaft to impact- that is the clubhead and the sweetspot plane inline.
Outa tape! Art crazed kids are always on the prowl. A proxie is a substitute, no? So by monitoring the shaft (tracing the plane line etc.) I ensure the inline condition you describe? I think I need to delve into my 7th edition some more. So much info...can't breath...

Yes- use the shaft but monitor pp3. That is inline with the sweet spot.
