Is there an easy was to.check if your lie angles are correct if you don't have tape and a board ?
if the club head is already coming in 5 degree's toe down then imagine what will happen with a lie above your feet!!!The static lie is probably good enough.
How often on a golf course is your lie perfectly flat?
Which may be a reasonable starting point, but is actually fairly pointless - it's the 'dynamic' (lie at impact) fit that's important! And Lie Board and tape is the way to determine that....
That's roughly how to do a static fit.

I had!I'm well aware of that but I suggest you read the OP again

There's really no substitute for Lie Board and tape!
Perhaps you'll get it right eventually!Strange, I've been doing it for 15 years
According to a master club builder I've dealt with, the technique using a line drawn on the ball works just fine. He told me he does it that way nowadays because the tour pros he builds clubs for hit his lie boards so hard they were destroying them!There's really no substitute for Lie Board and tape!
If it's out, it'll do both - depending on which 'end' of the line! Top end nearer the toe will mean too upright, I believe....
Off the top of my head I can't remember whether it's too upright or too flat if the line points towards toe or heel.
I refer the Honourable Gentleman to the reply above this one....If it's out, it'll do both - depending on which 'end' of the line! Top end nearer the toe will mean too upright, I believe.
Needs a particularly sensitive eye to notice, compared to a lie board, though.

lie angle at impact is very important. if it's off, is it because of your technique or because of your equipment? better to rule one of them out.
my clubs are 1 inch longer and 3 degrees upright. I still attack the ball 4 degrees toe down (I'm working on it) that would be 7 degrees toe down with standard club. that would lead to constant thin/toe strikes that miss right
no. my hands are too high at impactmy first thoughts with what you are explaining about you swing problems is - are your shafts too tip soft?
