The Truth about Lie angles

Professional Club Fitting

This is the most important
club specification affecting
ball flight direction. 

Lie Angles
Lie angle is referred to as being upright or flat.
It is the angle measured from the back of the hosel to the ground.  The farther the hosel is from the ground the more upright it is.

FACT: If your lie angle is off my two degrees
your ball will be influenced off line by 22 feet.

So, if your lie angle is four degrees too flat this will cause your ball to be 44 feet to the slice side of the target, assuming you make a good swing directly down the target line. If your lie angle is two degrees too upright the ball will influenced 22 feet to the hook side etc.

If the lie of your clubs is out then what you end up doing is making compensations in your swing to get the ball to go where you want it to. This will make it extremely difficult to be consistent and get the most from your game.

Think about the shots you hit ... If you thought you hit a good one and it went right (most common for right hander's) then there is a very good chance your lie angles are out.
