The only thing I don't like about the adjustable clubs is the limited custom shaft options. The technology has some merit, but I wonder how much of it is the need for golf manufacturers to release new stuff every season to keep buyers interested?

Putting it in the toe area promotes a fade, due to the gear effect. Give it a shot, I bet you hit more draws with it in the heel. Also, closing the clubface increases the effective loft of the club. Again, it seems like the opposite. If you close the face it should de-loft it, but when returned to square at impact the loft actualy increases, so if you find you are hitting the ball higher with the closed face you may try moving it back to square and experiment a bit.
