All insisted adamantly that they did not. After sizing it up and swinging it a few times each said that the face was closed too much for their tastes. The face was actually one degree open. They had all aligned the head improperly because the manufacturer's vertical grip logo was slightly out of register in a clockwise direction. The shaft graphics were vague and presented no strong, parallel vertical line to override the visual input from the grip misalignment.
All golfers react to visual input.
No sighted human is capable of completely overriding that input. Take great care aligning logos and with the visible, design patterns on the grip itself as well. Many new clubmakers fail to realize that the use of a .580 core size grip on a .600 or larger shaft creates an oversized grip. The internal opening is too small and the grip has to expand to accommodate the oversized shaft. This is unfair to the golfer who needs a standard-sized grip.
