What is a lie in golf?
Angle between the club shaft and the ground when the club head is properly soled at address, affecting ball flight direction and contact quality.
Definition
The angle between the club shaft and the ground when the club head is properly soled at address, affecting ball flight direction and contact quality. Proper lie angle ensures the club sole sits flat on the ground at impact, promoting straight ball flight and optimal contact. Incorrect lie angles can cause pulls or pushes, as upright lies tend to promote draws while flat lies encourage fades. Professional club fitting includes lie angle adjustment to match individual swing characteristics and ensure optimal performance. Lie angle requirements can change based on height, swing plane, and address position.
