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 19: worked with foam balls for a while. Going slow to make sure I’m rolling and twisting. It feels weird, which is good. Going to take more work, but I’m on the way I think. 
    • Day 39 (16 Apr 26) - Back to easy swings as the lead foot was overly tender from yesterday - stuck to some easy pitches with wedges and a few 1/2 tempo swings with 6i.  Was good to slow down and work on setup and overall alignment…
    • I saved the ball and wrote the details -- "my first eagle," course, hole number, and date on it.  Maybe I should write the yardage and the club too.
    • Day 8, April 16.  Continued pelvis turn drills after work today;  I've already spent 20 minutes doing this, am taking a short break (and have fulfilled the challenge for the day) and then I'm back to it.  
    • Played 9 holes tonight. Driver is hit or miss, but I haven’t practiced that at all. It was a struggle to get sequencing down for the arms and lower body. I definitely have to do my downswing wrist piece a lot or I just push the crap out of the ball. Pitching needs some work. Chipping was good, chipped in twice. Putting was fine.  Shank Counter: 2
