[Yoda]

If you set up closed...and...the clubface, even with layback, still closes...how can you set the face closed at fix?

Unlike Horizontal and Vertical Hinging, Angled Hinging is an Uncentered motion that results in an inherent Slice tendency. This Slice tendency must be (1) compensated or (2) lived with. Assuming the latter solution is unacceptable, I can only reiterate what The Man said, "The tendency to Fade is still there," and the only compensation is a Closed Clubface at Fix.

Remember, though, the Closed Clubface compensation is necessary only on the longest, hardest hit Shots with their extended Impact Interval. Otherwise, the Ball is not on the Clubface long enough to warrant this extreme alignment.
