Changing Lie angle of existing clubs

Posted by: user372344 | Sat 2nd Apr 2011 20:30 | Last Reply

Hey, First post, hello.

By doing an online test using my wrist to floor height, I've established I might benefit from changing the lie angle and length of my clubs.

Thing is they are pretty new and I can't really afford new ones, is it even possible do this and how much do you think this might cost?

Is it possible to get fitted properly for this using my own clubs, rather than relying on the online guestimate?

Or are those types of things accurate enough?

FYI I have a high handicap if that matters.

Thanks in advance, Dave

David,

Beware the myth that height dictates the length of shaft needed. It's the distance from your finger tips to the ground (29" = standard?).

You have already got a set (Wilson 1200XCG?) so keep them until you know they are wrong for you. Too many people change clubs because they think they are wrong for them.

Beginners can buy a set of 'custon fitted' and a few weeks later have changed their Set-up and Swing so much the clubs are no longer 'custom fit' to them. Only go for custon fit when you have some consistency in your game, until then go with your eyefeel. If a club looks and feels good in your hands, then that the right one for you.
