My wife approved me the budget for Mevo+, but at my level (1 years experience 106 scores last two rounds) and I only hitting into a net, the Mevo+ might not benefit me much. 
I’m thinking of upgrade old hand me down equipments plus some training aid instead. My equipment is ping g30 iron set with Std. black dot.
The past few month I already upgraded driver to Ping G SF tech and just recently ordered Callaway steelhead XR 5 wood standard length. I also order putting mat and thinking about orange whip to help improve my swing. I already have plan for pro-lesson as well.
I take a look at Ping Chart and at Ping actually recommend using Red dot (1 degree flat)  stardard length.

My question is, I’m okay to continue using G30 black dot. Will I see affect from 1 degree difference lie angle? How much will it cost to have my set fitted? I’m 5’7 should I shorten the shaft length of driver and fairway wood?

You're fine for now, I'd say.

1° in lie angle with the driver won't affect your play much at all.

Hi Erik - the degrees offline in that post - is that start line? Presumably to the extent that the lie angle is off, there will also be a spin factor? Could you add that in? Like assuming that the spin axis is at the same angle as the lie is off, then the spin rate at standard for the loft would result in a ball that curves an additional x? Or do I have the wrong end of the stick?

It's all explained in that topic.

    • Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there. 
    • Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.
    • Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂 
    • I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
