I tried the two procedures out, and it would seem that in order to cover the steeper plane line with the club head, one would need to stand a lot closer to the ball. Also, the back,up, and in nature of the backswing is achieved with much less in and somewhat more up. I don't think "steering" is what Ted has in mind. Remember the alternate plane line is 7 to 1 o"clock across the target line.
