The importance of correct lie angle!

About a year ago I spent a prize voucher on a nice Cleveland 60 degree lob wedge. Problem was that I hit a lot of poor shots with it, including chunks, shanks, and double hits, and I lost all confidence in it. I had to visit Pinner Hill Golf Club today, so I got Kevin Redfearn of Customgolfstix to bend it 2 degrees flat in line with my other irons. Took it out on the short game practice area and it was completely transformed. Now easy to hit delicate pitch and chip shots with it!

Interesting, I'd have thought a more upright wedge would have made using it easier and help to hit more accurate shots.

Due to my build, short legs and long back and arms, I need my clubs set flat. Otherwise I tend to catch the heel of the club on the ground and this turns the club face over to the left. Hence with standard lie clubs I hit a lot of hooks and shanks. The sole of the club should be dynamically flat on the ground when you strike the ball. Then you have the best chance of hitting straight shots.

Pitch and chips with a 60*, you must have a sharp short game del.

You'd have been better of getting him to bend it a few degrees stronger. You don't need 60 degrees.

I have a 60 degree and I feel it is too much on full shots. is 58 degrees a better set up?
