Great to see you joined TXG, one question on the Ping G 425 Max, I won the 9* with the CB 55 gram shaft, if I substitute a 17 gram rear weight for the 26 gram stock, will it lower my spin?
Nice video. Dry erase marker is excellent for this. Lie angle is Far more important than most people realize and the impact boards used in shops are notoriously inaccurate. This method is far superior to impact boards.
Lie angle can be a factor, along with a lot of other parameters BUT... the on of the most common causes of heel and toe strikes is length. To long and its heel strikes - too short and you get toe strikes. This of my a LOT of amateur golfers hit their drivers off the heel ( along with an over the top move ) because they are too long. Great question!
I'm thinking of buying a new set of irons.. I was thinking of ordering them standard but I've never been fitted.. and if I do I was wondering if I could just get them bent afterwards if the lie need adjusting? Are there any clubs that cant be adjusted?
Cast game improvement clubs can be difficult but most cast or forged players cavities should be an easy job for most builders or shops. Thanks for watching and asking questions
Thanks Ryan that was a useful Vid. I suspect that my PW is too upright as I usually hit it left of target and often feel that the heel of the club digs in. Once I have done the line test how easy is it to bend a Cast SS PW and how do I do it without snapping the club?
So did this at the range today....5-PW was going everywhere, straight/left/right. Did this test and every ball was showing clubs too flat (blue line). My wedges were straight everytime showing vertical lines. So can I just bend my irons a degree or 2 upright? To get them to straighten up
Hi, My irons have a wear spot just right of the sweet spot, toward the heel. I consistently hit them there.¿ Should I increase the lie angle? ¿Make shafts shorter? ¿stand farther to the ball? Or set hands and forearms higher at adress? My height is 1.75mts, and have shorter arms than most. Thanks!
Heel hits can mean a couple of things: Clubs are too long, clubs are too upright. Trying to bent then flat would be my first option before cutting them down.
This is good but can't we just look at the direction of the scratches on the clubface? Sure, you wouldn't see anything on a new club which might be the point here but clubs that have seen a lot of play ...
HI Karl, A Lie board is useful but not very effective in actually giving the most accurate results for proper lie angle. This is why the Line test along with seeing ball flight and if possible the best method is to use some sort of radar or photo based fitting tool. The line test is a great way to quickly check and a perfect starting point for those looking to gain some info on their gear. Thanks for watching and asking the question.
Karl Kurz Great question, I’m inclined to say yes in the wedges that you hit a majority of half & open faced shots with. With “full shot” clubs this is still a great way to do a quick check to see how lie might be affecting ball flight.
This is not correct. If the line is on the toe the club is too flat and and it’s it’s on the heel it’s too upright. His info If I understood him correctly was not correct
Simple and to the point. It's about time for these YT golf gurus to just get to it. Subscribed.
That's a great tip. I would have never thought of that!

Great video. Simple to do. Definitely will be checking at the range. Question IF i wanted a DIY lie loft machine is there a way to do it? Thanks
Why does lie angle increase as you move through to the shorter clubs?
Ryan what do you adjust or change when a player is hitting out of the toe or heel of the club??

All depends on the club, and the quality of the component. Getting a couple degrees usually isnt a big deal

I would start at 2° up and go from there 👍
Hmm.. I tend to draw my iron shots. Lie angle Could be the reason. Do all irons have to be flat or is there a +/- ° tolerance?
there should be a consistent progression in your set through all the irons.

Great vid, Ryan. How does a lie board test compare to the line test? Do they give equivalent information?

@@ryanbarath1916 Do you still recommend flattening wedges a degree or two, even if the line test says otherwise?

Nice video! Question... Are you using a sharpie for this test? Which kind of marker is the best?
bwillfly1
I use a sharpie but for something easier to clean I suggest a dry erase marker.
Perfect I’m of to the range😀
This is not correct. If the line is on the toe the club is too flat and and it’s it’s on the heel it’s too upright. His info If I understood him correctly was not correct
Or your swing is too flat
