This is a standard lie 6 iron. Ive been tested before and it was around standard. Wanted to test my lie angle again so I hit off of a thin board and got this mark. This is standard lie right?

i guess from the lack of comments its obvious that the lie angle is standard since its directly in the middle,lol. Thought I would ask since I dont know much about fitting, although I just looked it up online and found info on it.

They called mine standard that looked like that, so I would assume it is.

yea this is also a good way to check to see if you irons have changed at all and need to be bent back.

When you say thin board, do you mean like a thin piece of plywood?

just use something really thin that can take a strike from a golf club. the reason you dont want to use something really thick is because your feel wont be level with the ground then. You could use a really thin piece of plywood, as long as your feet are pretty much even with it

The picture looks perfect to me. Nice clubs. Good idea to put some tape on btw, I'll try that.
Forged Mizunos are pretty soft, hitting off mats all the time could do a number on the lie angle.

I'm thinking you might have two things crossed up. "Standard lie" is a certain angle of the club head in relation to the shaft. Greater angle = flat lie, and less angle (than standard) = upright lie. What you seem to be asking is "Is the lie of this club right for me?"...and it appears that it is. Helpful? or just shut up?

That looks real good...the mark seems to be aligned with the middle of the clubface which is ideal.

It appears to be either the wrong grind or you're doing a lot of flipping. Are you working mainting the flying wedge?

yea its more towards the middle instead of the leading edge. I dont really flip but I guess it does show me I could use a little more lag

Well I tried it again with a little more aggresive swing. First time I tried it I didnt want to break the board. This time I kind of leaned into it more and gave me a better mark.

Excellent!! In the real world (when hitting off grass) your blade will cut through the turf and the wear pattern will be more uniform.

PS. The lie angle seems perfect as well.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Probably since the golfer has to swing the club back and up. The hands have to move back and up. You can feel them go back and up just by turning the shoulders and bending the right arm, because it brings your hands towards your right shoulder.  The difference is if you maintain width or not. Less width means a shorter feeling swing path so the more you need to lift the arms. Being as someone who gets the right arm bend at 110+ degrees, it's 100% a timing issue. I am use to like a 1.5+ second backswing. It probably should be like 1 second at most. Half a second or more will feel like an eternity. I have had swings where I keep my right arm straighter and I am still trying to time the downswing based on the old tempo.  Ideally, for me, it is probably going to be a much quicker and shorter (in duration) backswing, while keeping the right elbow straighter. Which also means more hinging to get swing length without over swinging.

      LIFT Your Freakin' Arms

      By Ty_Webb · Posted

      I'm currently recuperating from surgery, so no golf, but have been thinking about this quite a bit. This and the don't overbend the right arm thing. It's hard for me to even pose the position, so I'm not 100% sure, but I feel like it's impossible to have the right humerus along the shirt seam and not overbend your right arm, unless your hands are down near your hips. If the left arm is up at or above the shoulder plane and your right arm is bent less than 90 degrees, then your right humerus has to raise or your hands will get pulled apart. Your left hand can't reach your right hand unless either the right upper arm is up or the right arm is overbent. Is that right? If it is, then focusing on not overbending the right arm would force you to raise the humerus. And actually thinking further on it, if you do overbend your right arm, then you're basically forcing your upper arm down or forcing your left arm to bend. Since (for me at least) bending the left arm too much is not something I think I need to worry about, it means that the bend in the trail arm is really the driving force behind what happens to the right humerus.

      I managed to knock off a 3, a 13, and a 15 a couple of weeks ago. The 3 was a 185 yard par 3 with a 6 iron to 12 feet. 13 was a 350 yard par 4, which was a 2 iron and a 9 iron to about a foot. 15 was a 560 yard par 5 with a driver in a bunker, 4 iron into the semi, gap wedge to 8 feet and a putt.
