ole gray Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 I recently had my irons bent up to 2 degrees from a suggestion from a good friend. Being 6' 2" tall he said you need an upright lie. We didn't take in to account my arms are pretty long etc. So up 2 degrees we go and I was still showing marks on the tape towards the toe. On the course my irons which are usually the best thing in my bag, went drastically south. Enough of that so I went back and went through the lie board thing again. After bending my 7 iron down to 1 degree flat I was striping it with marks in the very center of the club. Really crazy stuff but I suppose my whacky swing needs set up totally opposite from what you would think I need. What is your lie angle on your irons? I'm curious to see if anyone else goes against the grain.

Once I bent them up, I suddenly got this beautiful flight to them and stopped taking gopher hole divots. To each their own right?

gaussman1 Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 You can be very tall and still have a flat lie angle. Or short and upright. A lot depends on where you are tall. If you have a very long torso and relatively short legs you're going to deliver the club differently than someone the same height who has long legs and short arms. Somebody who tells you to go 2 up because you're tall means well but is misinformed. Step 1 is measure your current lie angles and pick one club from your set. Then move that club up or flat depending on whether you're striking toward heel or toe until you get it perfect. Then chart where that adjusted club is relative to that manufacturer spec sheet. Then move the rest of the set to match your new spec Sent from my Nexus 6P using MyGolfSpy mobile app Rogue SZ 10.5 *NEW* Fujikura Pro Green 65 X Rogue 15 degree Evnflow Blue 6.5 Back in the Bag Z765 4-G Nippon Modus 120 Stiff 54 and 60 Amazing Grace Ass Kicker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PMookie Posted August 14, 2017 Share Posted August 14, 2017 Just because I'm 6'5" doesn't mean I need upright clubs, and I'm glad Miles of Golf PROVED that years ago using video and computers to measure my angle at impact. For years everyone put me in +1", 2* up. Well, that's FOUR degrees total! Lie boards do just that, they lie. I've hit the center of the tape at 2* flat and 2* up.

I'm curious to see if anyone else goes against the grain. I should play my irons flat but I have a progressive system in my irons My Long irons (4,5) play one degree upright. Mid Irons (6,7,8) are standard. Short Irons (9,PW) are 1 degree flat. I base my lie off of ball flight not what a chart or lie board says. My long irons will fade so making them upright makes sens to bring that ball flight left. The short irons are easier to turn over so having them flat helps keep the hook away.
