Wedge lie flatter than irons?

[Tincup_19]

Hi, I've been told by multiple people that they say in theory your wedges should have a flatter lie angle than the rest of your set. I'm wondering if anyone out there can explain this one to me and if so, how many degrees flatter you typically go with in your wedges compared to your PW? 

Thanks

Some people play their wedges with different lie angles than their irons; it is nit a requirement.   If you don’t take full swings with your wedges, the shaft won’t deflect downward as much so they play a flatter lie to have the club delivered correctly at impact.  Some people stand the shaft up more for short game shots so they play a steeper lie angle.  Each person is different in their needs so there is no standard answer to how much flatter you should go or if you even need too.

this is an old thread from the forum. It sheds a little bit of light

the article from golf.com I would say she’d light in why you may want to flatten out your wedges.

I think everyone is different for what they would want
