Hello to All,

I just purchased and was fit for a new set of Diablo Edge Irons. I got everything done I needed to in reference to the fitting process.

I was never fit with my MacTec's so this was a great experience for me. I found out that my correct lie was 2 degrees upright. My question is this. I have Cobra Baffler Hyrids 3/20, 4/23, 5/26, Callaway Diablo Edge 3-wood/5-wood, Cleveland Wedges 56 and 60 and Last but not lest Nike Str8 Dymo2 Driver. Should I have the Lie angle adjusted on these clubs as well?? I now know how important it is.

Thank You in Advance,

J Gray

The basic answer is no.  I play my irons +1" and 4 1/2* upright.  The woods +1" and driver 47.25" are all regular lie.  Most of these clubs, woods and drivers, cannot be lie adjusted.   I'd look into adjusting your wedges.  I have 4.5* upright on all my irons including 4-pw,uw,sw,lw.

I discussed this alot with a club maker before I had him custom make a 3,5 and 7 wood.  The only thing we ended up doing was adding an inch to the length of them, but this was not neccessarily for the lie angle, I'm tall.

lie angle for the driver, fairways, and hybrids is not critical and therefor not done.  you would have to have a really severe swing lie to need any adjustment.  the wedges, yes, IF they are not already okay for you.  here's a simple check- take a piece of plywood or similar material and place it on the ground at the same level as the bottom of your feet and hit it like you're playing a shot off it.  there should be a mark on the bottom of your wedge, if not put some paint/baby powder/ or something that will transfer to your club on it.  if the mark on the bottom of your wedge is centered you're okay. if not then an adjustment is needed.  the center of the mark should be in the center of the sole.

when you get your clubs back do this with all of them and see if they all are correct.

i have another way to check on my website- www.yourgolfshop.webs.com under "lofts and lies".

glad you got fitted!

The wedges you should be able to have done no problem. I don't really know about the woods and hybrids. I don't think they bend those, do they...?

    • I like to look at the positives.  Overall you are fairly consistent down the center with most shots 20 yards or less off center.  On most fairways that should be in play.  Sure, you had some very short duds, but also if you look there is a good cluster in the 110-125 yard range.  Sure, we would all like to be longer, but knowing your typical shot is more important than trying to hit the 7-Iron 175 Yards.  Just take more club for longer shots and do not worry about it.  Your distances may increase as you improve over time so do not get caught up on that now.

    • What has gone downhill? Have you been practicing properly, filming your swing, working on exactly what he suggested without straying? My thoughts are that your results/outcomes from a lesson a year ago probably aren't all that relevant anymore.  And carry distance is far more important than total distance. Total distance is going to vary significantly based on course conditions.
    • One thing that has helped me tremendously is to spray the club face with foot powder when I am on the range. Seeing ball impact can be quite helpful if you are hitting shots all over the place. It's not the cure all, but a good little thing to do on the range. The other thing, and I will forget to do it, is the pre-shot routine. Find me a spot a foot or so from the ball in-line with my target, take my stance, take the swing.  Sometimes you take a BS practice swing with no thought. Make it deliberate.  As far as swing thoughts. I have 3 check-points. First is set-up, Second is my take away, Third is my downswing. I cant explain what I think I just know in my mind. Its a feeling that I have that feels right and experience has shown that if I follow those 3 thoughts more than likely the outcome will be what I was looking for. Now, thinking about the feeling and executing it properly is a whole different thing, that;s why I practice, I used to be over a 20 handicap, I am down to a 15.1 in about a year.  I feel like its good progress. the goal is a 10 by the end of the year. If I make it great, if not, hey at least Im not in Gaza. LOL
    • I usually shy away from giving advice on a golf swing since so many here are more qualified than I am.  You might try the following:  Create a "MySwing" page on this  site and you will get a lot of good advice Filter all of the advice and try to only focus on one or two things at a time.  Unfortunately it is very hard, if not impossible, to constantly change different things at the same time.  Figure out what is the most important thing to work on at this moment in your golf swing and focus on that until you have it engrained, then move on the the next change. Remember, we all have both good & bad shots.  The difference between the pros and us hackers is the ratio of good to bad shots. Understand that a bad swing can occasionally look like a great result and a good swing can occasionally have a bad result.  The key is to focus on one thing and work to get that as consistent as possible.  Ideally that will gradually increase the number of good shots vs bad shots.    Do not forget to have fun.
