lie angle question

[jhut03]

Ok, first off this is my first thread and this might be a silly question but I just recently bought a set of mizuno mp68s. 3-pw, I love the irons but when I first bought them and went to my weekly lesson the pro checked the lie angle really quick at the start with my 6 iron. He told me to have them bent 2* up from where they were and I ran across the street to have them bent before getting into my lesson. When I got there the lie angles were all different. pw-8 or so were standard then 7 was 1* from standard. The 6 iron was 2* from standard. 4-5 were 3* from standard and the 3 iron was 4* up from standard. This was from the factory.

The guy that bent them for me said that they do that from the factory to help players that slice the ball. He said that all of my irons should be bent to the same lie angle and because of the different angles he would bend them to 3*. So now all of my irons are 3* upright. Should I have them rebent to 2* upright from the factory specs for mizuno irons? I hit them well and accuracy is pretty decent but if bending them to what the pro told me will help then obviously I want to bend them to that.

Also the pro that I get lessons from is a club fitter for mizuno....

If your pro is a club fitter for mizuon, why aren't you asking him?

You should have seen what the 6 iron was, then had him bend everything so it was 2 upright from that.

so I am correct in that not all the clubs will have the same lie angle then. And I am asking here because the pro was the one that confused me to begin with. Ill just get the factory specs off of mizuno and take them somewhere else and have them bend them 2* up from those specs.

[Wahoo]

Mizuno's are flatter than most brands. Try looking up the specs of a few different brands to compare. You will also see that the progression from 3iron to wedge also varies slightly brand to brand.

Can't you just sit down with your pro and have him explain it to you until you understand? It seems that you trust his judgement, so go with what he has to say no? Don't be shy to tell him you don't 100% understand what he's saying. I donno, just my opinion!

haha yeah I do trust him and thats what I did only thru email. I took my irons today with the factoy specs and told the guy to bend them 2 up from the numbers on the sheet that I brought in so I am good to go now. Thanks guys!

Why? Only the club fitter will know what lie angle is right for each particular swing.
