He is trying to get the clubhead to hit the ball on the ball on the upswing, but he is not trying to hit up at the ball with his hands/central clubshaft. Note that his central clubshaft near the grip end of the club has forwards shaft lean, which means that his thrust action is still down-and-out-and-forward.
