OK, I start playing as a kid when I was taught a driver head is square to the shaft.
therefore, square face to target, feet aligned straight line parallel to the target line, sweet. (The biggest game improving club I remember back then was when the Big Bertha first came out)
Since i've started playing again last year, the idea of an adjustable driver is very new to me, so please bear with my questions.
I have been sort of struggling with my driver since I have started. have been going to lessons and clinics to sort out my swing issues. I'm pretty happy with my irons and even my hybrids now; and pretty confident with my feet matching my target line during alignment setup with the irons.
However, with the driver, I seem to get myself confused a little.
During a Taylormade fitting I went to last night, I tried the M4 driver and made the comment the face seems very open when I lay it down flat. the TM guy just said lay it down as is, and swing normally with it appearing as "open"
this is the part that I am not sure of... how should I address the club head with these drivers?

am I to address the club shaft 90 degree to my target line, or do I have the club face 90 to the target line hence having the shaft at an angle so my hands is either in front (closed face) or behind (open face) the ball at address?
When I first had the M1, I was always wondering why the black line didnt seem to match the club face and have noted the TM logo to back mid point did not seem to be square to the club face. (or is this just an optical illusion?)

my current pre-shot routine has been to twist my grip to have a square club head (so not using the laying down the club head as suggested by the TM guy), but this seems to have a inconsistent result for me.... my bad shots are the pulled left draw, but occasional high right slice on my blocked shots.
yeah, will be seeing a pro again next month when i get back from holiday, but this thing is bugging me since last night.
thanks
