Clubshaft orbit through the impact zone

[Dariusz J.]

You regard photo 2 as misleading because you thought that the hosel and sweetspot should be on the higher plane. Why did you think that it should happen if the flat left wrist/hand stayed on the lower plane? If the hosel and sweetspot were on the higher plane, then that would represent an off-plane motion of the clubshaft. Yodas Luke was not shifting planes during his backswing, so why should his clubshaft hosel and sweetspot shift planes?

Jeff, and why not ? The clubhead and the hand are so relatively distal things from each other that it does not change practically anything in the hands relation to the clubhead. If we assume that the club rotates around an imaginary axis coming through its CoG (assuming it comes through sweetspot as well) it is natural to suspect that the sweetspot remains on the same inclined plane all the time forcing the shaft and the hosel change its original plane to a slightly higher one. It is very logical for me.
