If I read your question right, you're looking at not having the clubface open at the top, rather than closing it. To those of us (including me) who suffer from perpetual slicing, having the clubface very slightly closed of square (i.e. not pointing at the sky but above the plane your left arm has created) produces super powerful ball flight and controllable draws.

Cock your right wrist back and not up and you're halfway there.

Yeeeeehaw!
That is very much how I swing, strong grip, closed more at the top and with the lesson I had 2 weeks ago, He saw that I did that, but did not change anything, which was a good thing for me.......I just stood a bit taller which brought the hands up more(in my other thread)and let the body rotate back and through........To be honest it's not a real bad thing if the club head is facing the sky, it just means that you have to rotate to keep it square and not get handsy.....Pretty simple swing as it took me way to long to understand this....

Anyway, not trying to jack the thread but that swing works for me

My cents worth
