still playing the lee trevino way with my stance 45% open and swinging out to in with a push shot and it gives me that high fade and its working great for me. not as long as before but ball goes where i want it too most of time.
it sounds like your game has improved to and your short game seems to have got a lot better too.
keep up the good work

What it says is that perfectly smooth clubfaces can impart as much backspin as regular grooved faces but marginally less consistent than a face with slight roughness. This would imply that the ball flight would be similar or very slightly lower in a completely smooth face.
