Club face angle at address

@jon - I think you may benefit from learning about the Shot Shaping Grid. Since our hand at address are prescribed to be in line with the inside of the lead thigh, then for any ball position behind the inside of the lead thigh we will have some degree of forward shaft lean. This will naturally open the face to the target line, and if combined with the face being closed relative to our downswing path this will produce the stock push-draw ball flight, which for a right-handed player would start to the right and curve back to the target.

So take your grip with a squared face prior to addressing the ball, and then - after setting your hands even with the inside of your lead thigh - let the ball position determine your face angle. If you were instead to address the ball and then square the face to the target line as in the right side photo above, the grid dictates that you would be setting yourself up for a pull-draw that starts at the target and curves left of it.

I hope this makes sense!
