The club lie can be adjusted for a golfer that has a more upright or flatter swing. It will prevent you from making good ball contact. An incorrect lie negatively impacts your golf club performance. It enables the sole of the club head to strike the ground flat if it is correct. Lie is the angle from the shaft to the ground when the golf club is placed in a normal playing stance position.

Checking a Club: Whether this factory standard is right for your individual swing is something all golfers need to have checked.Īt Better Golf Shot, we have the best Loft & Lie machine in the business. The golf club manufacturers have slight variences of what constitutes a “standard” loft and lie angle for most golfers. Golfers can benefit from getting this checked and adjusted if necessary. However, Titleist has 16 possible adjustments, and TaylorMade has 12, compared to Callaway’s 8.A golf club loft angle and lie angle are very important attributes. That was a huge win over rivals TaylorMade and Titleist, whose adapters couldn’t be aligned.

Then Callaway came up with an adapter that enabled golfers to keep their shaft orientation even with adjustments to the driver head position. Unfortunately the adapter industry didn’t catch up, so if you’re someone who likes your graphics facing a certain direction, you’re going to have to put up with graphics facing all different directions unless you get your shaft installed in a fixed position, and use only that position. These “spineless” shafts were able to be hit consistently regardless of the position of the driver head, a huge bonus for any golfer who really believed in spine aligning his clubs. The graphite shaft industry has since caught up, with shafts that are much more uniform in wrapping, so there’s no noticeable spines.

With the introduction of adapters on driver heads, some pros even got their clubs re-shafted so that the position of the graphics faced down in their favorite adapter spot, and notably, one pro mentioned that the graphics messed up his alignment so much, that he rather played with the driver head in a less optimal position where he couldn’t see the graphics, instead of in the optimal position for him, where he could see the graphics. Of those who favored graphics alignment, many of them liked the graphics facing down, so that they see a plain shaft. What was surprising for me though, was that while working on the clubs of some top professionals when they were in or passing through Singapore en route to PGA or European Tour stops, some of them favored having their shaft graphics aligned, over having their clubs spine aligned. Afterall, most golfers never had the benefit of spine aligned clubs. Most golfers felt that having the adaptability of adapters in drivers, that enabled them to change loft and lie, open or closed face etc, out-weighed the benefits of spine aligning. It’s been really interesting to watch, because both represented large technological leaps in club building, and yet, couldn’t co-exist.
