If I have my irons loft made 1* stronger, does this reduce the bounce by 1* also? Example= 4 iron is 24* loft 2* bounce if I move to 23* loft, does the bounce go to 1*? And what negative effect will having less bounce do?

My recollection from the Cleveland event is they said 1:1 ration on loft and bounce. My understanding is that less bounce can be good or bad depending on your swing and the playing condition of the course.If I have my irons loft made 1* stronger, does this reduce the bounce by 1* also? Example= 4 iron is 24* loft 2* bounce if I move to 23* loft, does the bounce go to 1*? And what negative effect will having less bounce do?

This discussion has become very educational for me and interesting to me, so please permit me another question. The fitter suggested that I appear to be more of a hitter than a swinger. I got the impression is was best to be a swinger which is something I will address with my instructor. I use what are called senior shafts, I assume that means they are lighter and more flexible. The fitter stated that for a hitter a stiffer shaft may be more appropriate. I also know that shafts have a flex point, is there a direct connection between shaft stiffness and the flex point. For someone with a slow swing speed is it best for the flex point to be higher on the shaft or lower on the shaft or does it matter and its more about the weight of the shaft. (Which as an aside is something else I don't understand-how so few grams of weight can make such a difference).
What about this hole:
The pond in front of and next to the green is yellow staked (at least up around the green). The water far left is red staked. If I aim for the green and fly the ball over the green, but hook it left into the water/pond next to the green, what are my options? Can I drop on the small sliver of land between the pond and the big lake/red stake area on a line where the ball crossed into the hazard no closer to the hole? Or am I pretty much stuck hitting off the tee box again?
The face angle is open to the club path for a slice. So even if the face is closed 3 degrees it can still slice if the path is more than 3 degrees out to in.Here is an easy one for you guys but baffles me.Ive been told in my lessons that he face angle at impact determines where the ball goes.So if I'm swinging inside out but have a closed face than why do I slice?push slice I would say.And why would I pull as well with the same scenario?
Please be honest.Im honestly stumped by it
I'm trying my best to relate this to my other hobby billiards.When I hit the outside of the pool ball with my stick inside out on the left tip it doesn't do this!.Still can't comprehend how that much of a variable can make it slice.So the only way to fix this would be to have a -stronger grip-close the face at the top of the swing -or roll my hands over.I aplogize but I just can't see how it can slice that much if you are already swinging in that direction of inside out.Beyond baffling how one can be a slicer if they are inside out and already have a closed face.The face angle is open to the club path for a slice. So even if the face is closed 3 degrees it can still slice if the path is more than 3 degrees out to in.
Also it determines what direction the ball starts on, not necessarily where it goes, small nit pick difference.

So if one is 8 degrees inside out one must have a 10 degree closed face to hit a hook and 8 would be straight right.Anything less would be a slice pusher ?
24-2 says if the obstruction interferes with the stance or intended path of the swing, relief under 24-2b applies.
Free relief within 1 club of the nearest point of full relief not nearer the hole.

Yeah I completely ignored gear effect to keep it simple for the question. As someone who misses on the toe often I know all about it.Also, when it comes to hitting driver, and to a lesser degree other woods, gear effect can contribute to a slice/hook. So if you swing in-to-out with a face that is square to the path but struck on the heel you will get a push with some degree of fade to it.
