TBLfan 25 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 think of the curve of the blade, normally it is diagonal across the face of the blade. This does not result in an open pattern, although it appears open. The open-ness or closed-ness is determined by the twisting of the blade after the curve. This is why I consider the Iginla a slightly closed face. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chadd 916 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 Manufacturers have often used the term "closed" when describing a blade that has no loft. In reality, that is a "neutral" face, while a truly closed face would be where the face is actually tilted down. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TBLfan 25 Report post Posted November 2, 2007 that's part of the issue here, there are a few different ways to define the open-ness of a curve. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
