Open Clubface At Address--Larry Nelson Style

The Grip should be taken at Impact Fix. Normally, the Clubface alignment willbe slightly Open. At separation, it will be Square.
Interestingly, I discussed this very point on the practice tee today with LarryNelson. He told me he begins each day with the Clubface 'slightly Open.' Ipeered over his Left Shoulder -- his Hands were not quite at Fix -- to seeexactly how 'Open' that was. It wasn't much, but it was definitely Open.
"It has to be Open," he said. "Otherwise, you'll have to 'blockit' [no Roll] as you go through" (to keep from Pulling or Hooking theShot).
I then asked him how he determined the 'how much Open,' and he told me that "itchanges every day!"
"I start from 'there' and then, if the shot goes straight, I leave it'there.' If the shot goes right, I 'close' it a bit until it goesstraight."
Well, all rightee then!
