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) ?

For ME, it is key not to overdo the closed clubface. The more left the face looks the more likely you are to put hook spin on it, and the tougher it is to come completely over the top of it. I believe this is the logic behind closed faced drivers. I am a bit obsessive about seeing the straight plane line. I do not pull the trigger until I can "see" it (OK I do on occassion but it ain't pretty) To have little or no sidespin (which is desirable into the wind) I focus on the leading edge of the club and then construct a line perpindicular to it i.e. my plane line. I then do my best to trace that line. It results in a lower pull shot...which I am aiming for. Yes, you absolutely can just hit it straight with a less lofted club, no doubt. I sheepishly have to admit to you that the OTT "feel" is easy to repeat. Of course I am not OTT of the plane line. Is is just something I figured out a while back. I do not yet and perhaps never will acquire the skill to amp down lag pressure on full golf shots...when it counts. Like Golfnome said most people hit it too hard up and downwind. The pull allows me to hit it hard and low. I do not think I play one round of golf without hitting at least 6 pully wind shots.
