The question is why people tend to "steer" (the "effect")? I mean "the cause" of steering?
Because they want to "hack" the ball "long, far and straight".
I think it is because they don't understand that THRUST is crossline meaning across/outside the flight path of the ball. They try to pull it back toward the green rather than DOWNPLANE . . .
That is why inside out cut shot is the therapy for steering . . . because you learn to DISMISS the target line. Even if you have to swing 45 degrees out to the right. Screw the freakin target line . . . that's for the clubFACE not the clubHEAD.
People tend to "steer" less (or even don't) when there is no ball to be hacked.
As long as it's hacking, it's still gonna be an "inside-out-cutting hack shot".
Find the "cause", which is in the head, and fix it.

Rotate, twist, spin, turn. Bend the shaft.
'Hacking' means hitting at the Ball (rather than swinging through the Ball). It is characterized by swinging from the Wrists, Over-Acceleration and Quitting. In other words, Clubhead Throwaway with its Bent Left Wrist and Flat Right Wrist Syndrome.
The Action is commonplace and may be seen daily on Golf Courses and Practice Tees throughout the world.

I teach a guy with the last name Hacker!
Boy, does he catch he77! Try calling for a tee time, calling to schedule a lesson, etc., with that last name.
A kid with the last name shanks was one of the best junior golfers in the state, go figure!

The reason you can't sustain the lag is because you are so eager to make the club move fast (a reaction to the intent of "hitting it far"). So on a full shot you throw it away too early, which doesn't happen for your short chip. (bts)

Thank you very much, Yoda.

Boss . . . back to the book that be yellow . . . would we be talking the 2nd Snare?
Boss . . . back to the book that be yellow . . . would we be talking the 2nd Snare?
Yes. Quitting (3-F-7-B) is the enabling action of Steering, the First Snare (3-F-7-A). It diverts the Clubhead from its true, Down Plane Orbit -- across the Impact Plane Line and toward the parallel Low Point Plane Line -- and Steers it down the Target Line instead. The result -- geometric disaster with its real-world consequences -- belies its innocent origin, i.e., the logical and well-meaning advice to "swing the clubhead toward the Target".
The cure is to swing the Club all the way Down Plane through Impact to Low Point (3-F-7-E). And this requires taking the Clubhead and the Hands into Impact (7-3). It is axiomatic that you cannot do this if the Hands Quit. Even after Low Point, the Thrust continues Down Plane as the Bent Right Arm straightens toward the Plane Line --not toward the Target! -- and into the Full Extension of Both Arms in the Follow-Through (1-L-#15).
Great post 12 pc. You're very right about the fact that this info is not common knowledge, even to decent players, is is truly the difference between hacking and G.O.L.F.ing.
Something that has always puzzled me since first learning about these principles is this:
If the plane line is parallel to the target line then what kind of dimensions are we speaking of when discussing across, or out?
Notwithstanding the variances for club length and arc length, there ought to be a known value (ball-park) for how far out past the target line the clubhead travels.
