Lie Angle Range
Curious to know what kind of margin is advisable to build into the lie angle of your clubs? I posted this in another thread, but my question relates to changing the plane angle from say the turned shoulder plane to the elbow plane for a special purpose. I have learned that the reason that clubs are generally cambered is to allow for more than one plane...Homer taught me that! The thing is when I come into the ball on the elbow plane I strike it towards the heel (slight toe up impact, I suspect) the turned shoulder plane is spot on, anything steeper hits towards the toe. My 7 iron has ball prints on the toe, sweetspot as well as the heel to validate this! To get a more boring flight (a good thing on the amber waving plains) the elbow plane comes in handy etc. So, say I go bee-bopping to my local club fitter and make this statement " Hey there local club fitter guy. I want my lie angle "range" to be between the elbow and turned shoulder plane...make it happen!" Should I take another hit on Bucket's crack pipe, or am I on a reasonable train of thought?
