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

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
