Dont quote me im not 100% sure but I belive a draw is about 2 degrees closed I know its not much difference but I belive the driver is closed a degree just to be a bit more forgiving to amatures to help with the left to right slice or as us amateurs call it " fade " lol..

Yeah I think it is 2 degrees closed but since I have a tendencey to hit a draw I set up to the ball with the face a tiny bit open, just a tad more than square. It's only 2 dgrees closed when you rest it on a flat surface, you can use it however you want. It is nothing like draw drivers, which are awkwardly weighted and shaped to make the ball stop slicing. Do you like the driver? I love mine. I'll use it till it breaks. I love the 3 and 5 woods also.

Are you kidding? I just put this stick back in the bag the last 2 months - i have a 9.5 Neutral with stiff shaft - just bought it off the rack back then without any fitting or anything. This thing is the longest driver i ever had - I had quite some problems with slices in the past and getting it airborne - but since i worked this out - this thing just bombs it out there. Same goes for the 3w - awesome forgiving fairway wood - sometimes it baloons on my - but most of the time its just dead solid.

My carry with the driver is about 270y and 230y for the fairway wood on solid shots if i go after it - what can i wish more for.

The TP version or "Tour" versions of drivers are always open.. The regular driver is probably a degrees closed.

The 07 burner is 1* closed. They do make an 07 "draw" version which is 2* closed. It also depends on the brand on how much the face is closed. My Cobra S91 is .5* closed. The Pro version is 1.5* or 2* open.

personally, I didn't like the 07 Burner, I thought it was too much closed and the shaft was way too light and whippy.

It is 1* closed...

Only problem is, if your normal shot is a draw, it will become a hook in a hurry. Lost 7 balls today because the draw became a hook....

If your a slicer, well then, your in luck, you will LOVE IT!!

I still really love this driver, just gotta stop the hands from turning over so fast....

I need an open faced driver

    • Day 7: got out my chipping net and worked on chipping in the living room for a solid 15 minutes. Worked on mostly low shots, but mixed in a couple of high shots as well. 
    • Day 228 4-4 More hip/chest turn and wrist arching. Working on hinging wrist a bit later. Foam balls. 
    • Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.  
    • A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.   
    • Day 550 - 2026-04-04 Practiced in the sim at a club for awhile. Did a SW ladder and practiced for awhile with my 7I.
