2nd bit of baloney

Just wanted to get this straight in my head. In the three pieces of baloney thread, Brian, in post number 105 with the graphics, for the straight shot (first image) if I read it correctly at impact the clubface is fractionally open to the path of the clubhead at impact and squares to separation for a straight shot. My question is, if I want to draw it just a fraction how much less would the face have to be open to the path at impact in order to be able to produce that shot?

slightly more open face alone, swing slightly more to the right

EDITED: Originally said leave face alone, and it would work, but you'd end up with more hooks than soft draws if you weren't careful and we (golfers) aren't as accurate as a machine. Safer bet would be what i said above.
 
I'll second that one, Tom Lehman hit draws with an open stance. Using a good knee action moving his arms to the 1 oclock position relative the target line thru impact. Easier said than done!

Me personally try to keep a fairly square stance. Good drill is to have someone yell fade, draw, straight ball start of your backswing to get the feel of it.
