Re: Lie or "Lies"
[quote="RickPinewild"]I see the common over the top, outside in swing with a toe deep divot and to compensate they make the clubs more upright. I think the industry in general is heading in the wrong direction. I believe that flatter lies would promote a more on plane motion.[/quote
I agree that steep downstroke plane angles require upright lie angles and sometimes downswing paths can be impossible to accomodate with adjustment of lie angle.
One approach we use in clubfitng people with severe plane/face issues is to use gadgets (carboard boxes, old shafts, etc.) placed strategically that force the player to miss them in backswing and downswing motions.
When the player can make some swings missing the barriers, we can then try to fit the lie angle.
With these players, I think it's a good idea to make one club that can be used for practice and learning (taking lessons). The fit will take place over a period ot time.
Clubfitting and it's relationship to golfer's motion is very interesting to me.
