Two things that still continue to astonish me in the golf market is that one, the public continues to buy drivers off the shelf and the second is that when they have that driver they haven´t the slightest idea that the toe of the club is not supposed to be six inches off the floor.
A recent survey revealed that the top 3 selling drivers on the market only custom fit 15.6% of their drivers sold. As far as lie and face angle fitting with drivers is concerned - there is no need for a survey - because the result would be a dismal 0%.
If you are a social golfer who plays once a fortnight, never practices and doesn´t take instruction don´t concern yourself with lie angles with your driver - but be prepared for your technique to gradually deteriorate.
Any other category of golfer including professionals please be careful to check that the driver you are using has the correct head angle to encour-age the correct swing action. Lie angle is the relationship between shaft angle and the ground line.
An upright lie angle will tend to tilt the clubs face plane to the left of the target. Whilst club manufacturers might tell us that this encourages a draw - what they don´t tell us is that you will probably lose distance as you react to the incorrect head angle of the club.
