The lie angle is the angle the shaft makes when the club is resting flat on the sole of the club. We talk about lie angles that are too flat (toe of the club is pointing down at impact), or too flat (toe of the club is pointing down at impact), or too
upright (toe pointing up at impact). If your clubs are too flat you will tend to hit shots right of target (for right-handed golfers). If your clubs are too upright, you will tend to hit shots left of target. The effect of incorrect lie angles on direction is more pronounced with shorter clubs, like wedges than for a longer club. If your lie angle is off by 2 to 4 degrees, you will hit your wedge 5 to 10 yards off line from 120 yards!
When you are fitted for your clubs, we will determine the proper lie angle and then test the clubs again when you pick them up to make sure that every club is matched perfectly for you.
There is no such thing as a standard loft and lie. At D’Lance Golf everyone is measured for the perfect lie and then the club is adjusted using the Mitchell Lie and Loft machine. Lofts can also be adjusted based on the golfers needs and wants. Loft and lie has such a significant impact on shot performance that even a 2-degree difference in lie can result in a 10 yard miss either left or right from an average distance of 150 yards. Because everyone’s swing profile and flex is different, the lie and loft adjustment is crucial and must be looked at every year.

THE D’LANCE DIFFERENCE
Without the proper equipment, practice and instruction can be futile. Using clubs that are not reacting properly to the way you swing will make what is already a difficult sport even harder. Improve faster and play better golf with equipment that fits. Don’t settle for off the rack clubs or custom fit equipment that doesn’t deliver custom built clubs. With custom fit and custom built clubs from D’Lance Golf you will play better golf and have more fun!
