Club lie question.

[One Planer]

Pretty common knowledge that the toe of the club should sit off the floor at address to allow for the flex flattening the club head in the downswing.

I have a question for clubs that have been custom fit like mine.

As an example. If a club has been adjusted 4* upright. Will the toe sit higher at address than a standard set of the same irons or does the change in lie come into play during the downswing?

Reason I ask. My new C/F irons toe sits higher from the ground than my previous set. The 32's,I believe, are a degree or 2 flat compared to standard and it just got me thinking.

Thanks in advance :thup:

When was the last time the 32's were measured?
Forged clubs can change lie and loft over time so the 32's may well be a bit off.....

Stop thinking so much!:smirk:

Just hit the <expletive deleted> ball! Then find it and hit it again!:fore:

I'm sure you'll hit it better that way!:whoo:

Exactly what the fitter said Ian.

When he put my old 6 iron against the standard MP63 he commented that the shaft seemed a good bit lower when compared.

Just got me thinking that's all

1. 4* upright is 4* upright ie it will sit much lower than a non-adjusted club

2. Compared with what??? Mizuno have used the same lie in their irons for about 10 years now, taking a 6 iron you would have to go back to the TP21 and TP19 to get lies other than 61* for European specced clubs. This is pretty consistent with other manufacturers as well although TM are at about 62* for non-asian spec now.

Oh, and no to your first observation - one of the things that the Mizuno DNA swing analyer delivers is the extent to which an individual will differ between a passive (stick it on the ground at address) and dynamic (where it gets too at impact) clubhead lie.
