Should I have a traditional upright swingplane where at 1/3 swing my clubhead is "outside of my hands" or should me swing plane be "flatter" and bringing the clubhead "inside" of my hands?

The pro was showing my last night at my club fitting that my swing plane was flat which at 1/3 swing had the grip pointing out 20-30degrees right of target and that when i bring the club back down on that same swing path the club face is pointing 20-30 degrees right of target,.......then he showed me a steeper swing path that at 1/3 swing left the shaft and grip parrallel to target line, and then showed than when i return the club the clubface is square with the target line.

So my real question is, all these years I have had a flat swing plane with a traditional rotary swing,,....everything has been wrong,....have i now gone the other way and started using to steep a swing plane for a S&T; swing?

only picture for reference I could find was this, on the left is a rotatry swing and right S&T;, the S&T; plane looks very flat, and much more of what my original swing plane was, if someone can clear this up for me it would be much appreciated as I fear I have gone from one extreme to the other!!!

Club head should be online with the hands.  But it isn't a huge issue to be slightly inside the hands or slightly outside the hands

That is exactly what got me playing decent golf this year.  For the past several years, I was so focused on where the club was throughout the swing.  Instead, I now focus on my body and movements and really forget about the club.  It seems to be working well.

    • Day 9 (10 May 24) - Played 18 with a good friend and one of his coworkers.  Was not a solid scoring round, but lots of opportunites for course management. Had a blast as we truly "got our money's worth" as my friend jokingly said.  Had some solid shots and finished the round with a solid birdie on 17 (the only really good hole of the day).  
    • I always wonder when people say they "tried" a golf swing out. I thought I had a topic on it, but when I searched DuckDuckGo for "trying" a golf swing or method limited to this site… "trying"+a+golf+swing+or+method+site:thesandtrap.com at DuckDuckGo DuckDuckGo. Privacy, Simplified. This very topic was the first search result. 🤣
    • I think you can get away with even a 5I or a hybrid or something. I don't think you need to hit 7I off the tee.
    • Yeah this is good to remember. Handicap is ranking where a high handicap player is most likely to shoot a worse score than a scratch golfer. Though you'd think a super narrow shorter hole would be relatively high handicap (as in close to #1 or #2 because a scratch golfer can hit 4i-SW and have a good look at birdie frequently whereas a high handicap is gonna be in jail or OB a ton? I guess it being short disqualifies it? I have long noticed that as a long hitting mid-handicapper I get an advantage playing in tournaments against players where I get 3-4 strokes because those are usually the par 5s that I can reach or nearly reach in 2.
