Actually, I think Brian's article is more directed to hitters since the clubface and sweetspot are perpendicular to the plane for most of the stroke, although I recall himsaying it can also apply to swingers.
Also, you should directly load the left wrist with the pivot when using swinger's wrist action. Yoda calls this anit-shank insurance because for swingers using this wrist action, feeling PP3 is more difficult, and dragging the hosel instead of the sweet spot becomes a more likely occurrence. Hence the shank.
I had been recently shanking, a previously rare occurrence, because I was attempting the swinger's wrist action, where one immediately turns the arms onplane and maintains that configuration to release point. My normal wrist action is the hitter's wrist action, where one gradually turns the arms onplane, then one gradually swivels and rolls the arms on the downswing.
With the proper swinger's wrist action, I was directly loading PP3 instead of the left wrist. i am not used to maintaining turned wrists.Thus by directly loading pp3 when the sweetspot and clubface were facing the plane, I was dragging the hosel and consequently shanking.
Next time I practice, I will attempt to load the left wrist with my pivot. I don't think there will be enough time in that blink of an eye interval to notice much about pp3 because of its faintness. I will trust the automatic simultaneous release sequence will take care of itself. Hitters aim PP1 directly at the ball. I don't know if swingers do the same with pp2; aimit directly at the ball. I do know that swingers trace the geometric plane line with pp3, however, as I said before, this happens so quickly, that tracing is very difficult.
