i was reading some article about lie angles and noted that if your lie angle is too upright then your shots pull to the left, i had always thought that the irons looked a little upright so i went to have them checked.

hi Slater
i played with black coded pings ( black is standard lie) for 20+ years and almost two years ago i bought a set of Orange coded pings from a guy at my club, 2% flat.
i was going to get the lie changed but after trying them i found i played better, talking to my pro he said i was swinging now on a one plane swing and had been a two plane swinger before, and said the clubs made me bend more at the spine and i found i was swinging easer.
going flatter really worked for me.
are you a one or two plane swinger.
cheers

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

hi slater
should be ok if you went to a flatter lie, a strong grip often makes it harder to turn the wrists with a one plane swing, a flatter lie should work good with your 3sk as it complements the that type of system.
maybe you should try and find an old flatter lie club and give one a try on the range next to the one your clubs you now using and it it works then get your clubs changed.
you will feel that your swinging flatter and may feel strange at first but maybe like me it will help you game a lot,
worth a try

cheers bill
ill speak to the pro at my club and ask if he can sort out a test club for me to try.

Re: i used the 3 skills and nailed it!

hi slater
let me know how you get on as I'm interested to see how a flatter club will work with your swing and also with using your 3sk skills.
cheers

hi bill
had all my irons adjusted and just back from the range
not the best conditions at the range but the adjustments have done the trick, the strike just feels a lot more solid which produced a penetrating flight with very little effort
i was sticking my PW shots right on the flag!
roll on saturdays comp
