I suppose you clubcrafters are the ones to best answer this question, but of course anybody should feel free to chip in.
Imagine ,as a reference point, a "standard golfer" who should be using standard length clubs with standard lies and hits these clubs perfectly straight.
What impact would it have, if he was to pick up a club with "flat" lies? Would the "wrong" lie result in a different shot path?
What if same golfer was to pick up "upright" lie clubs?
Would it cause a pull or a push? A draw or a fade? A hook or a slice even? Or would it merely cause bad shots due to bad contact (toe or heel up at impact) and have no other effect on the shot?
I suppose an elongated shaft would have the same effect as an upright lie (guessing that the longer shaft would result in a ball position further away from the body and thus a less steep shaft angle in order to have the hands at a natural position), and that a shorter shaft would be somewhat similar in consequence to a flat lie. Or is that incorrect?
What about other side-effects, like "luring" the golfer into standing too close to the ball, or too far away, resulting in off-whack swing-planes?
