Effects of Incorrect Lie Angle

[jim_0068]

Unless i missed it, the shaft flex will also effect toe droop in the swing which will in effect affect lie angles.

Same swing with different flex shafts (same shaft though) equated to different lie angles by 1.5*.

one had more toe droop than the other.

------------------

Here's another for you:

Old average driver swing speed = 105-110 max around 112

Above was with a shaft that was too light and too weak. My computer wouldn't let me swing as fast as i wanted cuz i would overpower the shaft.

New shaft, heavier and much stiffer:

New average swing speed = 111-113 max around 116 (even got it up to 118 one time but sadly once one time )

So you can see that equiptment can drastically effect what kind of swing you put on the ball. For instance i have been too lazy to get my lie angles bent flatter in the short irons. They are currently 1* flat throughout the set. The short irons need to be 2* flat. I have to incorporate a bit of a bent left wrist at the top of the swing to help keep the club open so i don't draw the short irons too much.

I could go on and on, just make sure you find a knowledgable fitter and it might even help your game.
