Yup, when I discovered , through slo motion swings in the winter, that what I saw as a closed or open club face, at address, didn't end up as that at impact. My mechanics open my club face on the downswing. I didn't want to change how I swing so I just start now with a club face that looks more closed to me. Much more repeatable ball flight
I once played with a guy who set up with his clubface so closed that it was looking at the instep of his left foot! He played right handed and actually had a very nice game. Hit the ball for good distance and accuracy. I nudged my buddy and pointed it out to him. Talking while driving in the cart we wondered how he could possibly hit the ball with that address position. After the round I asked him about it. He told that he had broken his wrist as a child and, not wanting to get in trouble with his parents, because he was doing something he wasn't supposed to, just suffered through it and the wrist didn't heal properly. Thus, he couldn't cock and uncock his wrists in a conventional manner, and this was a work around that he had discovered.
