Club face control

[JGolfer]

Looking for some on advice or drills I can potentially do to help me keep my club face open.

It’s mainly an issue with driver / 3 wood. It’s causing a pretty heavy over over draw.

Swing path can vary between 1-5 degrees in to out.

AoA is around +5 with driver, -1 with 3 wood.

Clubface can be anything between 1-7 degrees closed.

As you can see if I swing 5 in to out, with 7 degrees closed and my usual miss is on the toe. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Whenever I try to exaggerate the feeling of keeping it open, it does not go well.

I have considered moving the weight in my driver to the toe, but slow the rotation but feel that’s just a bandaid.

I'm not good enough to give advice on the rest of it - but if you bought a driver with a moveable weight, what was the point if you weren't going to use it? The equipment is there to help so you might as well. If you can tweak the club and it improves things without any effort on your part, why wouldn't you? (Coming from someone who uses the SFT driver.)

You actually make a very valid point.

I guess I’m just fearful of tinkering. But isn’t that what weights are for?

My advice would be to get your grip checked by someone who knows what they are doing.
Or check in the mirror, it should look like this....(Righty)



Please note the left thumb is completely covered

Are your grips the correct size for your hands.?
A bigger grip can stop you closing the face

It’ll have min to no impact. See @bobmac comment as the first check. I’d suggest the second thing is to check your setup, the shaft angle will have a lot of effect (vertical vs horizontal).
