Wedges + Lie Angle
When I bought my golf club there were custom fitted.
I have an upright stance so my clubs were two degrees upright.
When I take a divot with these clubs the depth is even so I'm happy that they are still correct for my swing.
I've bought to Mizuno Raw Haze wedges, 60 and 53 degrees.
My problem is should I have the lie angle adjusted on these two clubs to the same one as my other irons?
Over the last three rounds I've noticed that when I take a divot the divot is deeper on the outside of the divot than on the inside.
Now my feeling is that yes I should, but I was wondering if anybody actually knew the right answer.
My clubs have steel shafts.
When I had a few lessons on using my wedges I was told to take a divot, which I know do.
Also I was told to check my divots after each shot, direction they point, even depth, etc.
So do you check your divot after each shot?

Russ, whats the ball doing in relation to what you are trying to do?

Dave, the ball is either going straight at the target or left of the target.
I don't really hit a push shot with these clubs which is what I would expect if the toe of the club was hitting the ground first.
Now who knows if this will change once the ground gets a bit harder. At the moment the ground is really soft.

Russ going right I would expect but as they're mostly going straight i would not worry to much. I suspect your lefts are by tuning your hands over as i was quilty of but have overcome this problem.A little flatter on specialist wedges is not a bad thing as you tend to open them for most shots anyway I've always had my 6o's 2-3* flat as i hate the toe sitting up and it helps for the club to slide under the ball.

Thank you for your help Dave.
I'll probably leave them as they are and try and work on not turning my hands over.
