Irons with open face off-set.

[HDID Kenny]

Guys sorry if this has been done before but I am really struggling to keep my club face open at impact with anything stronger than a wedge. I am currently gripping the club with the face open by 5 degrees, this is the only way I can get square at impact. I am too old in the tooth to change my swing (I have tried often but always fall back into. Old swing) so rather than fight something I am considering 2 options.
1 - getting clubs re gripped with face offset by 5 degrees open.
2 - buying clubs that are already offset.

Option 1 seems easy but option 2 is proving difficult as all offsets I see are toed in too give anti slice, are there clubs out there for me?? Googled it too death without much joy, any help would be very much appreciated :thup:

If you are pulling/hooking, then offset heads will more than likely exaggerate the problem - as (per your post) they are anti-slice!

Short check with a Pro is still likely to be the best 'proper' fix. Otherwise check your actual grip - and stop allowing the wrists to become too active! And make sure you are 'clearing' your hips properly (the sequencing is critical!)!

I don't think he means off set. More just open at address like bubbas.

I have no idea how these work. Maybe the sole has a grind that makes them sit open when you rest the club on the ground.

Sounds like an issue with swing path and/or grip. Maybe getting a lesson to tighten the swing path and/or hand action would be the best solution.

I'm also in the space that suggests that equipment isn't the solution.

For something like a 7 iron it's all about how you set up the club, the set up relative to the sole is nominal - if you have them physically set open relative to the grip you will simply adjust it back to your eye; if it's a dynamic swing element you will simply overcome any assistance it gives in time (if not you would be able to dial it out right now!).
Just keep setting up and gripping the way you do will work just as consistently.

You are never to old or set in your ways to make simple changes - which are completely different to swing rebuilds.
