Loft & Lie Adjustment

[fixyurdivot]

Have you ever had your irons loft or lie checked, or adjusted after your initially getting your clubs? What prompted you to do so and what were the results?  Until joining MGS a few years ago, I would have never thought to have my clubs checked... just assumed they were built correctly.  Based on the numerous threads/discussions here and on other sites, I get the sense clubs being built per spec is a 50/50 proposition at best. 

That seems nuts but maybe the case? I'm interested to hear what others have experienced.

I've always loft/lie checked any clubs that I bought from the OEM, even when I've specified a preferred lie.  Those that are custom built by a custom builder are generally in spec.

Worst case was when I custom ordered a set of Callaway irons from the dealer rep.  When I received them. 5 of the 8 clubs needed lie adjustments and 4 of them were at least a degree of loft wrong in either direction.

Forged clubs should be checked periodically during their playing lifetime.
