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.

    • Thank you.  I'll cross it off the list since it isn't going to achieve what I want. 
    • While it does turn out that both Tiger and Phil are less squeaky clean than I previously believed, I don't think golf quite has the worst in professional sports.  Or maybe they're better at image management.   Obviously I'm not fond of Phil's issue we're discussing in this thread (or his involvement with LIV) or Tiger's choices of how to drive.  I used to really like Dustin Johnson and, even before the LIV situation, we started to hear rumors that he bought more snow than Seward, although I don't think those stories were ever substantiated.  Meanwhile, I did think of Anthony Kim as the "good, bad boy" of the tour for a while fifteen years ago because of his party persona -- and if it turns out the worst he did was show up hung over to play (barring what one thinks of LIV), that's pretty good.  And I'm still happy he found a way to get his life clean. If we contrast that with some other sports I enjoy, I'm sure we could find a nice long list of NFL players that, at one point in my life, I was quite fond of, we get far worse disappointments (to put it mildly).
    • Answering that properly would land me in hot water, so I'm not going to. I don't think that many people would do that. I think that in certain circumstances many people would be willing to overlook someone doing that. But I was really referring to what I assumed was Tiger's transgressions (cheating on his wife) not Phil's.
    • No! Is a large part of the human population selfish, apathetic and cuts corners in the name of self-preservation 'more than they would like to admit', yes. Degenerate, scum, etc?.. no!! Most humans/men would not grope a woman like Phil is accused of doing (I think he absolutely did). That is scum. I mean what % of men do you think would do that? Seriously?? 
    • I don't think that is true at all. That is off-topic here, I think.
