The most obvious way to describe the feeling is, when I hit the ball it's like I hit it very much on the toe which causes the club to slam open in my hand (that may or may not be what is actually happening) ... the ball will then go more left than normal, and my normal draw will take effect and pull it back into my normal range. The shot itself isn't ugly per se, I lose a bit of yardage when it happens (often), the ball still goes almost where it's supposed to, but it feels GOD AWFUL (and I mean AWFUL) in my hands, and the solidness of the shot feels and sounds like crap.

Every club in the set was adjusted +2 degrees up on the toe because I am tall, and on the strike pad thing at golfsmith it indicated that the toe was hitting first.

At the range today I spent about 40 balls on the 4 and another 25 or so on the 5. I tried choking up, standing closer, standing further. The one thing that "seemed" to help was standing closer and trying to strike the ball closer to the shaft, a lot of my ball marks on the clubs are closer to the toe than they are to the shaft. However standing closer made me more apt to hit a nasty chunk, or turn my draw into a hook.

If it's slamming open, one would think the toe is making contact with the dirt first and then flinging the club face open. You might want to go back to golfsmith and ask if they would check the angles on those clubs. Just because te 4 and 5 look different doesn't mean they should be giving you that much trouble!
