However, if one is uncocking the left wrist at the plane line, doesn't that mean the left arm is onplane, which I thought it never is supposed to be?

DDL,
You have correctly observed that the Target Line lies just outside the Plane Line of the
Clubshaft (as depicted in 10-5-A/B/C). However, unless otherwise noted, all TGM Plane references -- including the Plane Line -- are to the
Sweet Spot Plane,
not the
Clubshaft Plane (2-F). And
that Plane Line lies directly
on the Target Line.
For many years, Homer Kelley thought in terms of the Clubshaft Plane and not the Sweet Spot Plane. But over time, he came to realize that the
Sweet Spot Plane was
Boss. Here's why:
1. It is the
Sweet Spot that sends the messages (through the #3 Pressure Point) that enables the Player to sense and control the Clubhead Lag through Impact. This Sweet Spot is sensed
only when it is in Motion (because only then does Centrifugal Force exert its Pull). Otherwise, the Player senses the dead weight of the Clubhead -- and
not the pinpoint that is the Sweet Spot -- through the Shaft.
2. The Clubshaft itself does
not remain on a constant Plane, nor does it maintain a constant Straight Line Baseline. Instead,
it rotates around the Sweet Spot and thereby alternates between its own original Plane and the Plane of the Sweetspot.
So, embrace the
Sweet Spot Plane and disregard the
Clubshaft Plane. During the Downstroke, you do indeed Uncock and Roll while Tracing its Straight Line Baseline with your Right Forearm and Right Forefinger #3 Pressure Point (12-3 Sections 6 and 9/10/11).
This is the correct application of the
Third Imperative (2-0)...a link in the chain of destiny leading you to your best golf.
