But, as semperfi45 has said, changing the loft or closing the face on a driver will not fix the root problem, which is a bad swing. Yes, some might have bad swings because their clubs are not fitted properly, but most have bad swings because they have bad swings. People have been able to swing golf clubs properly for years, without the benefit of a fitting. It's about having the time and patience and dedication to fix the problems with your swing. That's the entire point of this game - improving your play, not your clubs. If you want a quick fix, by all means, go and get a closed face driver. Personally, I'd much rather improve my golf swing. Its a lot more rewarding to hit the centre of the fairway because of my own skill and hard work than it is to take a shortcut and rely on the clubs to do the work for me.
