Draws are hit with an open clubface, and most pros don't even realize that.

Help me understand what you mean here.

Wouldn't it be more correct to state that draws CAN be hit with an open clubface? Unless I'm misinterpreting the ball flight laws "85% of the ball's initial direction is determined by the clubface angle and only 15% of the ball flight is determined by the path" would only allow a draw to happen if the swing path deviation was much greater than the clubface deviation. To produce a draw with an open clubface that's open 3 degrees you'd need a pretty massive inside out swing wouldn't you?

Driver: VRS 9.5 degrees

Fairway Wood: 13 degrees
Hybrid: A3 19 degrees

Irons: i20's  Yellow dot

Wedges: Vokey's 52, 56 & 60

Putter: 2 ball

Ball: Penta; ProV

You're right. When I swing too hard or fast it feels as if my wrists are out of control. When I slow down my whole swing just feels tighter and more in control. Now if I could just fix the 100 other things wrong with my game.

For people who eliminate the slice, it's the opposite. When I really try to kill one, I snap hook it off the face of the earth. It's because my trying to kill the ball is with my legs and core, and my whole body moves forward in a violent effort to throw my weight into the ball.

Help me understand what you mean here.

They can be hit with an open or square face. If the face is shut, you get a pull draw. If it's just shut a little, little tiny bit, it's possible to hit a straight draw though, so long as the path is very inside out.

But basically, the swing path on a draw will be about 4° in to out, and the face will be, say, 2° open. That's a draw.
