Lie Angle

photo credit: nsaplayer   The lie angle is the angle at which the shaft comes out of the clubhead.  This is one aspect of properly fitting clubs that is widely overlooked.  When you use clubs with the proper lie angle for your particular set-up, the entire bottom edge of your clubs will strike the turf (or sand).

If you set up with the heel of your club off the ground, the lie angle is too flat.  Setting up with your toe off the ground means that the lie angle is too upright.  The sole of the club must lie flat when you are set-up to the ball. 

Getting fitted is a simple easy procedure that can be done at most pro shops or golf outlets.
