From my perspective, the sweetspot and the clubshaft are on the same plane when the clubshaft is above waist level (above the third parallel). Therefore, during the early-mid downswing, the butt end of the clubshaft points at the ball-target line (as if the club is merely a dowel stick without a clubhead). Therefore, I "feel" as if it is the clubshaft that points at the ball-target in the early-mid downswing.

From the delivery position to impact, a golfer simply performs a release swivel action that squares the clubface. I do not believe that a golfer can change his on-plane condition after the golf club has passed the third parallel position without "steering". I believe that if I am not perfectly on-plane by the time my clubshaft reaches the third parallel position, then it is too late to alter my imperfect off-plane condition.

Also, the absolute difference between the base of the clubshaft hosel plane and the base of the sweetspot plane reaches a maximum value of about 2" at impact and decreases to zero at the 3rd parallel and 4th parallel conditions. That results in only a small angular difference in inclined plane between the clubshaft plane and sweetspot plane in the impact zone (and which only exists to a significant degree within a distance of about 12" behind/in front of the ball) and that very small difference is something my brain automatically computes on a subconscious level.
