The closed to closed thing really strikes a chord with me! The first instructor I ever had...waaaayyy back in the late 1960's, early 1970's, told me I had a closed to close clubface action (or something like that), and that a good model for me among big time PGA Tour pros was Leee Trevino. (I recall Trevino being described as closed to open). That was just one thing I remember. I have always felt that guy was the best instructor I have ever had.

Every other instructor since then has admonished me for having a closed clubface at address. I have squared it a bit, but find I cannot really let go on drives without losing them to the right, or pull hooking them. My best drives are long and right, as are my shots off the deck with my 12 degree 3W.

I'm going to have to work on closing the driver clubface a bit at address and see what happens (and I may as well work on closing the clubface when I put the ball back with the wedges and short irons).
