Any path can strike any part of the face.

Opening or closing the face a very significant 5 degrees (twisting around the sweet spot) will only move the strike 2mm.
So mis-strikes are not caused by an overly open/closed face.

It takes as little as 3 degrees open/closed with the face to hit a shot 35+ yards off-line with a driver (at 240 yards).

Digging just 1/4 inch deeper can be the difference between contacting ball and turf together, or hitting a whole 2+ inches behind it

Leaning that shaft forwards DOES makes you strike higher on the face.
But....
It takes a whole 10 degrees of forward shaft lean (rotating the club around the sweet spot) to move the strike just 1 groove higher.

The part of the ball you hit (inside/outside quadrant) has nothing to do with the path the club takes.
It's all to do with the face angle. Open to the target = inside quadrant struck first (and vice versa).

Golf fixes can sometimes be super simple.
Here’s an interesting one.
Had a player hitting thin shot patterns. Came to me for a lesson to try and fix them.
You’ll hate what I told him, but I think it’s worth exploring……

So, to re-cap, if
🟢left, then open the face more
🟢right, then close the face more
🟢on target (but you don't like the curve amount), then swing more in the direction of the curve
🟢then repeat the process

Regardless of your path, getting the face more closed at impact will create more on-target shots.

Regardless of your path, getting the face more closed at impact will create more on-target shots.
Conversely, if your shot pattern is too far to the right, you are presenting the face too open for your current club path.

In well-struck drives/iron shots, if your shot pattern is too far left, it simply means your face is too closed (at impact) for your given club path.

Finally, if we get this player to present the clubhead just 1 groove higher (so they hit 1 groove lower on average) it looks like this.
Now 90% of the shots fall within the acceptable area
