I've got a 915 D3 9.5 with the Surefit adapter.. The booklet that came with the  club has me confused. At the standard setting of A-1 it looked wide open when completely soled on a flat floor.  I set to B2, which i was told means it's 1 # closed and at the standard (9.5) loft.  it  still looks a little open, when soled flat. i'm looking  for a square face at the 9.5 loft, when soled flat on the floor. Help it hits pretty good at this setting, but I have to hood it a little to line up when addressing the ball.

The settings are with respect to the shaft/hosel. So open means the angle vs the shaft plane is open when going down the top side of the shaft. You still have to aim the face. On some tees, the grass may make it look closed if you lay it on the ground.

there is no setting that will give you a square face when you sole the club on the ground. At A1 the face is 0.5 degrees open.

I've got the booklet. It's just that the numbers and letters are confusing to me.  I don' understand which controls the loft or lie, numbers or letters? or do you have to adjust both at the same time to get where you want to go? right now, B2 appears to be about where I want it.

There is no real progression with the letters and numbers. They are just assigned to positions. The ring in the hosel adjusts loft and lie as it is rotated. The grooves are machined to tilt the head slightly . I keep a photo of the chart on my phone so I can reference it.

My guess, you tend to play with your clubs way closed at impact. Anything that is close to square looks way open to you.

No, I prefer a square club face at address. i try to line everything up square- cllub face, feet, hips and shoulders
