What you discovered is what Mark Crossfield said. Within 2 weeks people can over ride the settings. Trust me it doesn't take 2 weeks, in most instances it only takes 20 minutes. We get to try the clubs alot. Interesting enough testing on the grass is actually very similar. Of course we never tested above 3* in either direction lol.

James, All my irons and wedges are 1/2 inch longer that standard and +2 degrees upright. My fitting dictated these adjustments and I hit them rather good and consistent

For more than 35 years I have had or had access to a lie/loft machine and it was in the early mid 1990's that I found the softest forged Iron that bent easier and any other ever was the Hogan Apex Plus, A guy would bring me his irons to check and reset once a month and out of the set at least 3 were off out of the 8 irons he had, every single month. Great fantastic feeling irons but buttery soft feeling came with a price, keep getting the loft checked.
@TheNYgolfer4 жыл бұрын
Makes me wonder how easily the loft and lie angles can change just from everyday wear and tear on the course. Good reason to have them checked periodically.

My irons, Ping i500, are 2 degrees upright. Getting fitted for every club in your bag, including your putter, is crucial to playing your best golf. Great video as always, James!
@bob.bobman2 жыл бұрын
Did you have to do any heat treatment to get the lie that far or just cold bending? What bending bar did you use please. I am looking to make a set of irons at 72 degree lie. Do you think the Callaway x forged you used would be good choice that wouldn't break from bending? Any other clubs you think would be better choice? Thank you! Great content.

For years I played my Irons 2deg upright but in an Iron fitting this year the fitter suggested that I should be 2deg flat! At first, I thought that he pass taking the Pizzzzzzzz, but when we tried the flat lie angle it was amazing how my Ball flight & strike suddenly improved! Previously I always had a tendency to Pull my shots left (particularly with my shorter scoring clubs), now my Ball flight is arrow straight, so my message is, never be afraid to experiment with the lie angles in your Irons.

Guy I work with at the course had issues with ball flight and was snap hooking everything even laying the face open to compensate for closing on contact, he got his old set back out and was night and day. Turns out that the clubs he was using was pushing 4.5 degrees upright and I tried them and began doing the same, hooking and pulling everything

My irons are +1" @ 1 degree upright. I had 2* upright and with a normal swing it went too far left, but I could manipulate the lie angle with a little wrist cup at the top of the swing which opened the club face at impact. Unfortunately, that habit led to some bad things with clubs like driver. So I replaced my clubs this year. Much straighter with irons now.

Goes to show no matter what the bat is the player will react to the lie and after a couple of swings and manipulate the delivery to achieve the desired ball flight.

IMO clubs are all way too upright because manufacturers use lie to increase a draw flight.
@shaneducholke3644 жыл бұрын
To really show the affects you should have hit draws amd fades with standard lie angle, then fades with flat lie and draws with upright lie. That way you wouldn't fight the lie angle amd always trying to use it.

When I use irons of standard length, they're 1.5 or 2 degrees upright. Current irons, at 3/4" short, are standard lie. If you'd done that to a Mizuno, I'd have been obligated to call the coppers!!!
