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".

Hi, I have a question regarding the cut shot therapy. I've just read Yodas great post in the archives regarding this but I am left with one single question that I would appreciate some help with.
When we move, or ensure that the stance line is out to the right, does the club face also point out to the right?
And when we move the machine back to the left to face the target, does the clubface point to the right or at the target line?

A big factor, that people often think they understand but don't really 'get', is that you are always looking at 'the' plane from ABOVE - and that shift in perspective has people trying to hit the back of the ball as if the plane were verticle to the ground, which of course, it is not.
Inside out cut shots get folks to 'feel' the plane as angled to the ground, and gets that right side/shoulder moving in a much better fashion - DOWNplane - the down, out and forward of a proper impact.
All of this to get that magical right forearm to come into impact properly and not too high, as in most cases.
'See' that right forearm and its motion as a spoke in a wheel and the right elbow staying on 'its' plane and the golf swing becomes a much simpler motion.

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.

'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.

It produces only Hackers.
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.
