Shut face...shaft lean = low and left...I just adjust to accomodate the pull. I hit low screamers with more backspin than I get from low speed knuckle-ball version. It feels like I am coming over the top of it with a closed clubface i.e. pretty easy move to make! Very interesting, I'll give it a try asap! From your description I assume this will put a draw spin on the ball: Won't that make it roll more when it touches the green? Why not using the fade version of this shot? A low punched cut? I should stick a lot better? However, if you really hit TRUE pull shots (ball going left with no sidespin) with 10-5-C (closed stance) why not using a less lofted club with 10-5-A (square) ? __________________ "From Putter to Driver, the Clubhead Lag technique is indispensable..."
