Simulate your impact, and look down and see the face; is it square?
So what I mean is that if I get into my impact position of hips open 45*, shoulders 30* and get the handle over my left shoe with about 10* of right tilt to hit up on it (I feel like I'm about ready to extend up), then I look down at the driver and make sure I'm gripping it so that the face points down range. Don't regrip it, then go back to SetUp. [Check all of this in a mirror vs. a video of your swing.] What does the face look like then? It should look pretty closed, or maybe for you, if you release it a bit early or shut it down differently, it could look open....
