Bending Open a Driver Head?

[MikeLowry5]

I am having a hard time straightening out my driver.

While there is no doubt my swing plays a role in the ability to hook it around about anything, it does not help that the club is 1° closed. I equate this to giving a habitual slicer a 1° or 2° open face and getting him to try and straighten out his swing.

I love the driver and the ball comes off the face extremely hot however, it is no good if 7 of 10 shots are sweeping hooks that even when aimed at the far left end of the fairway (I'm left handed) are sliding off the right side of the fairway.

With all of this said, is it possible (and if so how likely) is it to bend the driver back to neutral?

And also can you tell me how big of a role can the shaft aid in hooking the ball? I doubt highly that the shaft is not stiff enough (105mph area swing speed) but I have no idea how much or little this aids in the hooks.

As a lifelong hooker (in a golf sense), I can tell you that shaft and club face angle make a huge difference for me.

A lot of the game improvement clubs on the market are set up to help high-handicappers cure a slice. I've migrated to the least hook inducing driver I could find and a stiff shaft combo, which for me has turned a hook or draw into a dead straight ball that keeps going directly at the pin.

Can you expound upon exactly how the shaft makes a difference? Is it anything more than a whippier shaft will "kick" more aiding in closing the face quicker?
