If you're sure that both a more open stance or a more neutral grip is not helping, I'd suggest the following ideas:

1) Make sure that your weight is on your front foot at the finish/pose. If you leave some weight on the back foot, you might be coming around the ball with a club face that is closed.

2) Your ball may be too far back in your stance. Move it forward a little at a time to see if it straightens your ball path.

3) Use a slightly tighter grip if yours is too loose. Without a stable grip, the club head will accelerate forward and can close up.

      Approach Play to Elevated / Lowered Greens?

      By Shindig · Posted

      Can you elaborate on this?  There's a par-4 hole at the course I've played the most (was my home course for over a decade, now 50 miles away but I still go and play there) whose green is below the fairway and I realized recently it's one of three holes on the course I've never made birdie, despite that I often have a short iron into the green for my second shot.  It isn't even that I haven't made birdie, but I realize I often don't hit the green.  My typical play of the hole is to have a near-GIR and sometimes I get up and down, but not as often as I would if I were trying to 2-putt.
