Adjustable Woods - I've Never Had One

[Sticky]

Being kind of an old guy(56) I've never had an adjustable Driver or fairway wood. When they are adjusted for loft does it alter the face angle with respect to being open or shut?  Meaning if you have a 10.5 and set it to 9 does it shut the face?

Yes and no. Yes in that it does alter the relationship between the shaft axis and the face plane so if you place it on the ground the face can look open or closed compared to the base settings. But no in that when you set up, you set the face open or closed to your desired angle. This video by @Adam C does a good job explaining it.

Thanks, that is a great video and reinforces my thinking on the subject.
