I have to disagree. I would say it almost exactly opposite. The Clubshaft should never remain on-plane when it is swinging through Impact. If the Clubshaft stayed on Plane, it would result in a shank. The club has a CG or CM, which is an imaginary line that extends from Sweet Spot through the #3 pressure point.
“2-F…
Regardless of where the Clubshaft and Clubhead are joined together, it always feels as if they are joined at the Sweet Spot – the longitudinal center of gravity, the line of the pull of Centrifugal Force. So there is a “Clubshaft” Plane and a “Sweet Spot,” or “Swing”, Plane. But herein, unless otherwise noted, “Plane Angle” and “Plane Line” always refer to the Center of Gravity application. Study 2-N. Except during Impact, the Clubshaft can travel on, or to- and – from, either Plane because the Clubshaft rotation must be around the Sweet Spot – not vice versa. So Clubhead “Feel” is Clubhead Lag Pressure (6-C) and is a Golfing Imperative. (2-0). If Lag Pressure is lost the Hands tend to start the hosel (instead of the Sweet Spot) toward Impact – that mysterious “Shank.” When in doubt, “Turn” the Clubface so both the Clubshaft and Sweet Spot will be on the same plane at Start Down. Both Planes always pass through the Lag Pressure Point. Study 6-C-2-A.”

guyz, what does the last part mean? about the when in doubt, turn the clubface so both the shaft and sweet spot on same plane at start down? how dos that stop a shank? how do you feel it happening? is it a fanning of the face? what is turn the clubface?

thanks

(ok i admit, i shanked a few last outing...need help!!!
