loft and Lie check

[patricks148]

if it being mentioned on here recently, i dropped my 5-pw Gap and SW off at my mates today to have the L&L checked.

Didn't bother with the 3 and 4 as i've not used those that much.

Sw was off by 2deg
gap 1deg
pw 1 deg
9 iron 2 deg
8 ok
7 2 deg
6 ok
5ok

all stronger.

Had them 2 years, i play a fair bit, but don't hit many shots at the range.

so if you have forged iron worth getting them checked.

At least once a year!

The difference between a 'set' and a set can be phenomenal!

 

[stevek1969]

think mine could doing with getting checked, I've had mine over a year and use the range a lot

I thought you had Pings Steve:rofl::rofl:

Looking to get mine done soon. Whats a good price for this?

Am I right in thinking my ping G25 won't have changed loft in the 3 years I have had them as they are cast? Hit them on some pretty thin mats!

more likley the pings did more damage to the mat than the other way round:rofl:

I saw the light and there overrated Cally Apex Forged are my weapons of choice these days.

Afaik, it's not simply forged/non forged in terms of the lies/lofts changing over time. I was told my Vokey wedges (not forged) were off last time I checked.

with cast the loft is usually correct but if you ordered non standard lie angles then these can be off. i have 3 degrees upright and had them checked out the box. they ranged from 1 degree flat to 4 degrees upright

Mine are yellow dot so 1.5* upright

I remember doing this and posting something similar with my 52's, it was amazing how much they were out, I got them checked after my 6 & 7 irons were far too similar, which on checking them they had become about 1 degree apart! They were also a couple of degrees up which didn't suit me, best few quid per club I've ever spent at the time.

does it really matter that much though?

Depends if you want to hit all of your clubs the same distance really.

 

[hovis]

does it really matter that much though?

well, if my clubs are supposed to be 3 degrees upright and my 5 iron is 1 degree flat then yes. 4 degree difference in lie angle is substantial

 

[USER1999]

And given that a 3 degree gap between clubs is not unusual, one club a degree strong, the next a degree weak, and hey ho, pretty flipping similar.

 

[patricks148]

I think i may have posted more or less the same thing some 5 or 6 years ago when i had my MP62.

the PW on those was way out and had more loft than my gap wedge. 7 and 9 were the other way.

the surprising thing was the 2 clubs that have been in the bag the longest, the MP10 gap and sand wedge hadn't moved that much considering how much use they get and age.
