Golf: Lie Angles

[campgottagopee]

So true! That's what I keep telling myself when I go into a putting funk. It's not the club that has the problem, it's the idiot holding it! :lol:

I just switch putters---got a friggin closet full of those evil things :evil:

 

[campgottagopee]

Yeah and TODAY I WAS THAT IDIOT holding the putter -- tpoo damn many 3 putts lead to a double set of 44's !! so much for being in the zone

I tried to get FN3PUTT on a license plate---NYS DMV said no :angry:

Could be worse Camp, one of my best friends in dental school nickname was/still is "4 putt" Pretty sure to this day, he has more putters than hairs on his head (and he's no where near bald!)

Personally this year I'm just fine with the fact that I've been putting better on freshy aerated greens than smooth ones I'm thinking that maybe bribing the guys out at the maintenance shed at my course to fire the aerater up about every other week may be in order :lol:

Why is it you can put on any type of ski and ski it well? Same thing goes for golf only golf IMO is harder.

I stopped buying new golf equipment 5 years ago. It makes only a small amount of diference. Unless your sticks are over 20 years old.

I am a big believer in the right tool for the right job when it comes to skiing. I wouldn't buy a bump ski and ski powder and vice versa. Having skied on a wide variety of skis that would be useful specs wise for the skiing I do... the majority of skis (better than 50%), I don't like the performance of. So while I probably could put on most skis and do okay, I certainly wouldn't be enjoying the experience half as much as ripping it on skis that complement my body and skiing style.

Came across a great article on Lie versus Club Length:
http://blog.hirekogolf.com/wordpress/beginners-corner/what-length-golf-clubs-do-you-need/

Reminded me a lot of True Length Technology:

Seems like you can build a golf club by club length and then adjust the lie or build the club to the lie and then adjust the length. There is an extremely interesting dynamic between length and lie as a longer club held in the same position will telt the toe up. The Hireko article I believe mentions 1/3" to every 1*. Keeping the length consistent to spec benefits the swing weight being held constant.

Really interesting stuff. I am debating buying a new set of irons and having them fitted. My current set was a dirt cheap crap set and I would prefer a heavier (not stiffer) shaft to help me control my swing tempo better, I need new grips, and I need the lie angles checked out and most charts suggest I should have at least 1/2" length longer than standard. Not to mention I have lost the PW, bent my 4H, and don't care for my 5H for my current set and built a frankensetup of irons to replace the problem clubs. Would be nice to have consistency again as many of my experiments in club purchases resulted in over lap of lengths.

All really interesting stuff regarding equipment!
