lie angle question

[garyinderry]

On the course here with some green and yellow dot ping irons.

The shape of my divots is much better. No more triangular shaped ones. Much cleaner strike.

I had standard lies before the mizuno fitting, came back 2° upright. Had 2 pb's since.

Not sure thats because of lie angle, better suited shafts, more forgiving clubs or just playing better?

However im totally convinced custom fitting works.

I don't think it works, I think it HELPS.

Not sure if 3° would be that noticable for most amateur golfers, it might 'accidentally' make them worse OR better.

3 degrees is a MASSIVE difference.

There is no standard unfortunately, unless you know 2 sets of irons have the same lie angles.

Example.

The last 3 iron sets I've looked at lie angles of, because I was interested in possibly getting some.

Mizuno MP-69
0.5° difference from 3-PW

Titleist AP2
1° from 3-5, then 0.5° from 6-9 and PW same as 9

Ping S55
0.75° from 3-9 then 0.25° to PW


Don't know if this is a myth or not, but I was once told that different shafts will have a different amount of toe droop at impact, so even if you get fitted perfectly once you can't then assume that is you sorted for life.
