Measuring Lie Angle


Recommended Posts

I need to measure the lie angle of my putter but there isn't a shop in the valley with a loft & lie machine. What do y'all think about this method?

As long as you have the putter soled correctly it should work as long as the side of your phone is flat

It's called iMetalBox and it has 12 tools, of which protractor in one. U get some functions free, but for the protractor I had to pay $.99 to get it to provide readout in degrees ... instead of the free version which reads Radians.

That's pretty cool - I just went to my fitter and he measured mine when I had him regrip my other clubs - but that is one sweet little tool.  Very creative.

Driver: Taylor Made Xi10 10.5 Diamana S plus 60  R flex   - 44.25 

Fairways:  Ping G410 5, 7, 9 wood  Alta CB red 65 R flex

Hybrid:  Ping G410  26 degree  Alta CB Red 70 R flex 

Irons: Ping G430  7-PW, 45, 50 Alta CB black 65 soft R flex 

Wedges:  Ping 195 S54, E58

Wedges and irons are - 1/2” and one degree flat 

Putter: Sacks Parente Duke 32.5”

Ball: Titleist Pro VI or Callaway Chrome Soft X ls

 

While not at the same time I was fit for every club in my bag as well as the Pro VI ball. I use the chrome soft x ls on my league course.  It has much softer softer greens than the club that I belong to. 

I’m on a mission to shoot my age - lifetime lowest round is 66 and I’m currently 67.

Buttons and any shaft steps can affect ur reading. But u can usually move it around and get pretty close.

I've seen other blogs and info about using this as a way to measure club lie angle.  The trick (as mentioned) is assuring the sole is in the correct position.  What I would suggest is having the putter checked at a shop and see how it compares.  Also, have you just checked its accuracy against a 90 degree square?
