If you tap on the face to the left or right of the sweetspot - everything will rotate around that longitudinal center of gravity.
As Mike correctly pointed out, hang your Plum Bob (line) from the point where your #3 Pressure Point would be and the weight will pass through the Sweetspot which is a pin point (contrary to what club manufacturers tell you). The Sweetspot LCOG is On Plane. The clubshaft, however, moves from its own Plane to the Sweetspot Plane and back to its own Plane again. So the Clubshaft Plane is always shifting between its own Plane and the Sweetspot Plane. This can be a little confusing.
