Reasons for shanking

Southpaw...do you know when the release point is for most hackers??

As soon as their downswing is begun, they don't maintain the lag from startdown.

So...that means that if they didn't make all those contortions, they would shank every last one.

2-F Plane of Motion - Except during impact, the Clubshaft can travel on, or to-and-from, either plane because Clubshaft rotation must be around the sweetspot- not vice versa. So Clubhead Feel is Clubhead Lag Pressure (6-C) and is a Golfing Imperative (2-0). If lost the hands tend to start the hosel (Instead of the Sweet Spot) toward impact- the mysterious "Shank". When in doubt, "Turn" the clubface so both the clubshaft and the Sweet Spot will be on the same plane at the Start Down.

So, someone tell me if I'm wrong (I'm new to TGM), but it says to keep the clubface square at the top (In line with left arm?) and hold the lag?

Perhaps clarification of:

"Clubshaft rotation must be around the sweetspot- not vice versa."

As there is a sweet spot plane and a clubshaft plane (2-F). If the clubshaft rotates around the Sweet Spot then the Sweet Spot will stay on plane, but if the sweet spot rotates around the clubshaft[xx(] then the SS will move off plane and a shank will result, without some sort of forced movement in an attempt to get it back on plane.

Does this clarify it enough, as I've only been studying TGM for a few months off and on, so I'm still not sure of anything in it.
