All big draws (tee balls especially) I see are hit with open faces; open to the plane line and target.....but closed to the path. Very rarely do I see better players hitting straight or pull draws. Not intentionally. Most always would be a double cross.
Regarding the video, the face wouldn't have to be open just because he is hitting down. Even at that, if it were open, the amount of down would still determine trajectory. It won't be a floater with a face thats a few degrees open if really down. If we're giving him that downward blows create path to the right, then an equal face (as you mentioned) would be a straight push, a more square face produces a push draw, a square face produces a straight draw/hook, and a closed face produces a pull hook. A lot of factors from the golfer jump into the mix to get these numbers though, and I think that's what often gets left out. Everything is crystal clear for the hoola hoop machine.
Anyway, the suggestion would be that a fix by closing the face at addres would just hit a straight draw, still no straight away ball flight (though most will unknowingly change path from this visual). Or that a fix from rotating (as he showed I would argue) would increase attack angle, and we're right back to where we started.
**THE BIGGEST PROBLEM WITH THESE HOOLA HOOP VIDEOS ABOUT THIS, IS THEY DRAW THE TANGENT FROM ONE ATTACK ANGLE, THEN INCREASE THAT ATTACK ANGLE BY ROTATING THE WHOLE HOOLA HOOP LEFT WHILE LEAVING THE TANGENT MARKER ON THE SAME SPOT OF THE HOOLA HOOP ***
