Another factor often ignored is "face roll off",
where the top line of the club face is flared
open at the toe to encourage a golfer to set up
with the face slightly closed. The amount varies
significantly from brand to brand but almost all have some.

Hi Dave. How do you know then that it is not the
face angle that corrected the slice? Over the
summer I got my hands on a 5 and 7 Callaway
Steelhead III fairway woods. I have been hitting
more more draws/hooks than ever before with
those clubs. Also if take a look at the specs of
the IIRC, specs on the Callaway website you'll
notice that the face angle on the 10 is 1* closed and the 11 is 2* closed..

Subject: Re: ShopTalk: Clubhead Weight and Shaft Flex
On that last point, I just lent my "special
driver" to a novice golfer friend. No, it's not
my own driver; it's one I made up specially for
this purpose. The club length is under 44".
That's a very short shaft for a modern driver
(lightweight graphite shaft, 460cc head). I do
it with a very heavy head; IIRC, it's over 210g.
He absolutely loves it. It's the only driver he
has ever been able to hit on the sweet spot with
any regularity, and the only driver he doesn't
slice. That reaction is very common until you
get to a single-digit skill level.
Cheers!
