Fix Your Loft and Lies Lie Angle Being fit for lie angle is important because it affects the direction and flight of the ball. For instance, if the sole of your club at impact is interacting with the grass more toward the toe then the lie angle is too flat. If impact is more toward the heel then the lie angle is too upright. Both scenarios can affect the direction of your ball and it may veer away from your intended target line. Without the proper lie angle, you lose the ability to direct your ball accurately down the target line and at the launch angle you prefer. Some players may wonder why they hit all their irons great apart from just one of them, and it’s always the same one, may it be your 7 iron, or your 5 iron and you just don’t understand why. This is very common issue and checking the lie angle could solve the problem with this one club that always seems to misbehave. This one club may have a different lie angle to the rest of your clubs and for this reason alone even when you feel like you have put a good swing on it, the ball still curves off line. Without knowing it’s the lie angle this problem with this one club will never be fixed!
Loft Loft affects trajectory and spin rate, so it determines the distance the ball will travel. More loft typically generates a higher trajectory and more spin while lower loft causes the ball to fly lower and spin less. Too much spin can cause the ball to balloon up in the air and limit your distance. Too little spin and the ball won’t stop on the green. If your clubs are not properly adjusted to fit your unique swing, you have the potential for inconsistencies throughout your set of irons. For proper distance control and maximize the performance of your irons you need to make sure your loft spacing is correct.
