When I address the ball with mid body hands the clubface is square to the target line. I then do a forward press which opens the clubface slightly. When moving into takeaway the clubface returns to square.
I have the left wrist on top of the shaft and paralell to the "leading edge" of the clubface. The shaft is centered to the middle of my hips which has the ball postion left of that center. There is also axis tilt at address, how much depends on how wide my stance, how long the club and what kind of shot I wish to hit.
I think the biggest problem with "square clubface" came with the introduction of the offset. I also think that the idea of pulling the club created a lot of misconceptions to how it actually should be done, consequently the popularity of the offset.
Alot of people don't have the right lie angle, either. If one were to set up with a too upright lie angle the tendency would be to hook the ball. Maybe the only answer they can come up with is raise the hands and lean the shaft forward. They'll do that awhile and top and chunck and rock block and slide and hide or just learn to flip until they figure out it is time for a lesson. When the pro shows them a square clubface they think he's nuts!!!
So, the offset has the clubface square with the shaft forward of the leading edge....this is great and why we hear those guys in the clubhouse bragging about their 160yd wedge on that par 3.
I don't know maybe I AM NUTS!!!! And just don't get it.
