Hi all. I'm coming to the realization that I need to get fitted for clubs. At this point, on my own, I have found that my standard length/lie clubs are not quite right for me. Using static measurements I found several places on the internet, they all say I should be standard length/standard lie.
I finally figured out, just from my address if nothing else, that the toe is up unless I hold my hands a few inches higher than I normally would at address or else push the hands way too far forward(in order to get square club face).
When I choke up a bit and stand closer to the ball, then the club addresses the ball flat and my shots became amazingly accurate, though I now feel somewhat like I'm having to bend forward more than I would prefer in order to do a more upright swing. But maybe that's a good thing to get used to?
I'm rather thinking at this point that I can play this way with my clubs choked up, or I can get custom fitted, likely ending up with standard length shafts and a degree flatter on the lie.
(yes I'm gonna try some and I'm gonna try to strike with tape to see the results, just asking for opinions at this point).
What consistently happens with these standard length/lie clubs is that if I don't choke up, then either I hit way too fat all the time or I stand further away and the lie is off. Or I can choke up and stand closer, which fixes the lie.
So the question becomes, should I stand closer and go for shorter length, standard lie, or should I keep standard length and custom order (after pro fitting of course), custom lie irons?
It kinda comes down, I think, to whether I want a flatter for more upright swing path and I have absolutely no idea. But I think I am more inclined to like the flatter swing path so that I don't have to bend over as far, not to mention that means longer shaft, more power.
What are thoughts on this issue?
With my driver I really don't know what to do because choking up and standing closer made a difference for my driver too, but I definitely don't like losing shaft length on that one. Yet it sounds like custom lies on drivers is not really an option anyway.
your expert opinions will be appreciated.
gracias.
