Lie Angle

Lie angle is the angle between the shaft and the sole when the club is soled at address.

01 / Why it matters

An incorrect lie angle points the effective face left or right at impact, especially in shorter, higher-lofted clubs.

02 / Performance impact

A lie that is too upright tends to push shots left for a right-handed golfer; too flat tends to push them right. The effect grows with loft.

03 / Common misconception

Lie is not set by height alone — delivery and arm length matter more.

04 / How TruePath considers it

Lie is recommended per club from the golfer's measurements, reported miss pattern and delivery tendencies.

Questions golfers ask.

Do wedges need the same lie as irons?
Not necessarily. Wedge delivery often differs from full-swing iron delivery.
