+2 Lie Cause the ball to Draw??

[Jaybone]

I recently got a great deal on a set of Mizuno MP-60's. They came with Aldila NV shafts (which are nice,but not sure I like graphite shafts) and with a +2 Lie. I have read that if the Lie is to high the result will be shots to the left. My question is will the +2 lie eat up a fade a little or cause me to draw the ball when hitting flush? I have hit them well on 2 outings and not well at all on 2 outings. I am really up in the air about keeping them.

You don't want to mess with this kind of stuff too much. The purpose of a lie adjustment is to make the sole of the golf club level with the ground through impact, not to correct swing flaws.

If the toe drags through the turf, the lie angle is too flat and the ball tends to go right (because the clubface is pointing slightly right). If the heel drags through the turf, the lie angle is too upright and the ball tends to go left (because the clubface is pointing slightly left).

If your ground/sole contact is fine, you do not want to adjust your lie angle. In that case, you should adjust your swing.

In other words, get fitted.

I understand its not there to correct flaws in my swing. I just didn't quite know what would happen with that lie if I hit the ball square all the time.

I am going to see the pro tommorow and work on getting fitted correctly,however I don't think they are too hightech over there. He is a good teaching pro,but I don't know about clubfitter. He has a Ping Cart with about 40 different 6 irons on it. I will see how it goes,but I think if I want a good fitting I am going to have to travel an hour or 3 to get it.

It depends. The lie could be too flat, perfect, or too upright for you. In each of those cases, the ball will respond as I previously said it would: right, straight, left.

The rest is up to your swing. My advice, re-stated, is not to adjust the lie to correct a shot pattern you have but only to adjust the sole/ground contact. Level divots. You can check for yourself whether your club's lie angle is fine. Put some impact tape on the bottom of your 6-iron, hit a ball off a very thin solid board or piece of plastic or something, and see where impact is. Too far towards the toe = too flat. Too far towards the heel = too upright. You want impact in the middle. Of course, that's assuming the clubs are also the proper length.
