I am a firm believer in down and out. Especially down. Out and forward has a tendency to take care of itself but a lot of golfers cheat on the down part from time to time, myself included.
Steering is certainly a side of the problem. I think it's to a large extent a compensation that rides along. But it's hard to not do it when you "know" that not doing it will send the ball towards right field or something. Therefore, getting into a position where you can "wait" with releasing the club and hit the ball hard with your backhand without forcing the clubhead out is a mind blowing experience for the first time. Strong grip and (over)doing what's on the video can get you going.
