an open club face will favor a fade if it is open at impact, it doesn't matter where it is at the top. though i think most people will say you should be square at the top to make it eaisr to sqare it at impact. i think becuase even though i am opening it via left hand cup, i am still keeping it square when i release that cup, but if i fan it open, i then have to return it back to square and have trouble doing that from a fannes open postion vs a cupped open postion. not saying it is correct, but it is what happens to work for me.

i am "compensating" for the open face by closing it at impact, but that is how you get that homerun vs check swing. AJ said it has to be open to hit a home run, i think it is easier for me to cup (open it) ans uncup (and square it) then it is to fan it open and twist it back square to hit a homerun. the cup uncup in the left is still going open to square, but it os not twisting to get it there.
