I like to ask a simple question. At impact isn't the clubface suppose to be shut or hooded? No one really mentions this, and I wonder this is the "hookface" HK is describing that is built in the irons?

Its funny 4 months later and 50+ posts later and numerous readings of other blog I can answer my own question

Simple question may not have a simple answer.
Clubface may be shut for special shots.
For full shots clubface can be open(for fade) square (for draw)
I think shutting will lead to topping unless there is major compensation during the swing
There is a distinction between layed off and open clubface
Open being square and angled whereas layed off is more pronounced loft without angling the clubface.
I know this doesn't make sense but it the best way I can describe it.
Is there really such thing as as a closed clubface?
We impact the club with either square, open, shut,layed back club only
Closed clubface is a product of horizontal or beyond horizontal hinging at end of the swing. The clubface may be closing thru impact but is not closed at impact.

Sorry for the long drawn post(ramblings of a madman) but had to get it out my system.
