Adjusting putter lie ?

[User 99]

Has anyone ever adjusted the lie on their putter ?

I've gone back to my old odyssey and although I putted well today it is very much toe in the air and can't be best for consistent putting but seems it's cast so not so sure it can be adjusted.

I asked the Pro at my brother's course to try and adjust three of mine, which were all stainless and probably cast.

He couldn't manage anything on two of them, primarily I think because his loft/lie machine wouldn't hold them tightly enough as they were odd shapes. One I'd asked for loft, the other lie.

He did manage one of them though (lie angle) but that was a very simple shape.

If the putter is toe up, stand closer to the ball, wouldn't need to ne much I'd guess to have the putter sit flat(ter).

Playing partner had the same issue, toe up putter kept catching the heel when putting and missing putts, I told him what the issue was, but he wouldn't have it instead, he went to a pro who told him the same thing, he then bought a new putter which lay flatter and his putting improved a lot, but said new putter is on the naughty step now and it back to the old putter and toe up and missed putts.

Arguably the distance you stand from the ball should be a function of your stance, and getting your eyes directly over the line of putt (it may be directly over the ball on that line, but not always...
After which you then either move you hands, or adjust the putter lie, to achieve the final lie for you.

I got the kit with my Rife Hybrid Mallet putter so I could adjust the lie myself.

Do you have an angle between your forearm and putter shaft or is it a straight line like below

I'd like to think it's a straight line but may be a slight kink.

Try lifting your hands a touch. That will flatten the putter head

I have the Cure RX3 and 4. Both are adjustable for shaft type, wry neck or straight in, lie and weight. Doesn't help you though. Maybe a welding torch on the bottom of the shaft and a bit of muscle?
