Is there a preferred clubface/sweetspot alignment with the "new release'....

[Richard the Nerd]

Question....not sure exactly where this "point in motion/time" is....but is there a preferred clubface or sweetspot alignment at "p6" or "p5" or wherever the clubhead is essentially "free wheeling"? Should the sweetspot be "laying on the plane", "rolled off the plane"....if so how much and how come? Or does it even matter?

Sure...witcha.....but at some point prior to the sweetspot "turning down" or whatever you wanna call it (assuming you roll it) it comes off the face of the plane right? Could be complete whacko here....but is there a time that it happens that is "more efficient"....or should one employ a shutty grip or twist away or whatever...I reckon there are options obviously...but is there an option that is "easier" to perform?

I would imagine that if the face was laying on the plane at last parallel, it would be considered super wide open and not advisable. Check out this Sergio swing, his face is never laying on the plane (starting from when it first becomes visible against the background). Although in hindsight maybe this isnt the best example since Sergio doesnt keep the club "on plane" like some others define it.
