Better to "hit" short game shots?

[Yoda]

Does his mean swing on hands plane for 70-100 yard pitches which are nice and high??

What advantage does the hands plane have in short game ?

This sounds interesting!

V.J. Trolio's Hands Plane for short Pitches is a sophisticated concept for achieving a special effect beyond that of the normal shot. It requires either personal or video demonstration because a written description simply cannot get the job done.

Until either of these is available -- and I think V.J. would agree -- you are best advised to use a Plane Angle no Flatter than the Elbow Plane. This is particularly true for players lacking a well-educated pair of Hands.
