Get a felt tip marker and draw an straight line about the circumference of the ball, maybe halfway around. Put the ball on the tee or ground with the line on the back side (the hit side) with the line straight up and down. Clean any dirt off your club and just hit the ball. Some of the ink will transfer to the club. Hold your club with line vertical and you will see the lie of the club as you actually hit the ball. No theory or calculations here, this shows the lie of the club as you really hit the ball. The line should be perpendicular to the sole. Interperting the results should be obvious.

Look for an iron that is more upright to begin with like our Acer XK. However with the woods and hybrids, the hosels are typically too short and the insertion depth too deep to be able to adjust the lie. Again, look for models that are the most upright. Kevin:

Lie angles are an issue for me. With the use of ping irons, Ive been able to fix the problem with my irons. without lengthening my woods, is it possible to adjust to a more upright angle?
