Have you had your loft and lie checked on your irons?

You could be hitting perfect shots that don’t go straight because your lie angle is not right for your swing. The same goes for the loft on your clubs. It’s important to know that all your clubs are set to the correct loft. For example, industry standard loft on a pitching wedge is supposed to have 48 degrees. A 9 iron has 44 deg, 8 iron 40 deg and so on. With my exprience checking lofts on clubs, I’ve come to the conclusion that most sets are very inconsistent. It’s easy to fix and you should have yours checked!

Lie:
“Lie angle is the measurement between the hosel and the ground. This influences a shot’s direction. The correct lie angle helps you hit straight shots from a square hit. If the lie angle is too upright, the heel will dig too deeply and the ball will start left of your target. If the lie angle is too flat, the toe will dig in, causing the ball to start right of your target.

Loft:

Although each club has a specific loft, it is affected by clubhead speed, swing path, and the angle of approach. More loft is better than too little because extra loft creates additional backspin, which, in turn, reduces sidespin. Too little loft may promote hanging back on the right side or a reverse weight shift in an effort to get the ball airborne.
