this makes no snce to me, but i find that if i had the club closed or square at the top i would still hit a fade..... but i read that "iam confeusd" post and tried it, and for me if i cup my left wrist and have th club open at the top i hit it perfectly strait. but if i square it at the top with left wrist cupped i draw it. but if i don't have that cup i seem to always fade it, so with me, i found that fanning a club open is bad, but having a club open through other methods (left hand cup) can be good (for me anyway).
