Title: Closed clubface question
This was sent to me by a guy that visited my web site, wonder if anyone can help him with this??
John

Thanks so much for replying to a previous query.  If you don't mind, I have another question for you. 
 
I recently had my swing tested.  My driver swing speed is 105, 2 degrees out-to-in, avg swing temp 1.3 sec.
According the clubmaker, because of my out-to-in swingpath, the more closed the clubface angle is, the more it will accentuate my slice/fade tendencies, and he insisted I should have a square face angle, or even slightly open.  This seems counter-intuitive (I would have assumed a closed clubface would result in a draw).  He tried to explain it to me--it had to do with the gear effect caused by the manufactured horizontal bulge in the clubhead.  I'm having a heck of time trying to comprehend it--it's beyond me. 
 
I don't expect you to try to explain it to me in any detail.  But I am looking simply to find confirmation, or refutation, of his claim that a closed clubface alignment, paired with my out-to-in swing path tendency, would actually accentuate my slice/fade tendencies.
If correct, since most driver heads are closed to some degree, I wonder how much of a closed face angle could still be acceptable?
 
Really appreciate it.
