Feb 04, 2013 · Potentially, this would mean the toe digs in and your shots go right (right handed).

What lie angle should my golf clubs be?
May 28, 2020 · This is exactly why there are very few people that can do a true fitting. I know for me, my static fitting showed 1* upright and plus 1/2". Dynamic fitting has me in 9-LW that are 4* upright, 6-8 that are 3* upright, and 3-5 are 2* upright. Since the change I have never hit more shots online in my life.

I had a unscheduled fitting at a Cleveland van visit to our club. I was told I should go plus a 1/4 and 2 degrees upright.

I'll just add something from my own experience. I'm no clubfitting expert, in fact, I don't even know half as much as most the people around here, but I will say that I used to play standard length and lie irons for about 15 years, because when I was a kid in the late '80s, that's just what you did.

Mask your problem? Ridiculous! Things like length and lie adjustments are not done to mask a problem, they are done to fit the individual. Thats what club fitting is all about. Did the GS guy have a set of standard lie clubs he wanted to sell you?

The guy at Golfsmith was probably trying to sell you what he had on the shelves. But, assuming you hit the ball before you hit the turf, having a lie angle off by a degree or two won't be a game changer.

The guy at Golfsmith was probably trying to sell you what he had on the shelves. BINGO! I never go to any of the Big Box stores for questions, only to try/buy what I want. My research is done either here on GolfWrx, or at my home club.

An easy way to check would be to look at your divots. If they are deeper on the toe, then your clubs are too flat at impact. If they are heavy on the heel, then your clubs are too upright.

For my irons, I have 2 degrees up and +1/2 inch (which is prettyy much 3 degrees). That makes a HUGE difference for me. It definately helps take the right side of the course away, but it also allows me to actually attack the ball when I need to and lay off when I need to. Total confidence.
