Use a level to ensure the board is perfectly flat. Check it multiple times just to be safe. Consistency is crucial for accurate measurements!

Iā€™ve heard that some people use chalk on the sole to see where the contact point is. Does that really help in understanding lie angle?

26

Yes! Chalk is an excellent visual aid. It shows where the club makes contact, helping you adjust the lie angle accurately based on your swing.

27

Great idea! I never thought about that. Whatā€™s the best way to clean the chalk afterward?

28

A damp cloth works wonders. Just be sure not to damage the club! You want your clubs clean, but not scratched.

DIY can be effective if done carefully! But seeing a pro ensures optimal results, especially for those who might not have the best tools at home.

31

True, but sometimes it can be a financial burden. DIY can also provide a solid understanding of your clubs!

32

Not to mention, it can be pretty fun tinkering with your own clubs! A little creativity can go a long way in this process.

33

Absolutely! Plus, you might discover something unique about your swing in the process.

34

Adjusting the lie angle can drastically improve your game. Start by knowing your current setup and how the lie affects your swing. Itā€™s intriguing how such a small change can make a big difference.

35

Absolutely! And using a good level during adjustments helps ensure you get it right. Donā€™t forget to check your grip as well!

36

What tools do I need for this DIY adjustment? I want to avoid any costly mistakes.

37

Youā€™ll need a lie angle gauge, a heat gun, and possibly a bending bar. A tape measure could come in handy too! Always double-check your measurements before making any adjustments.

38

Thanks for the tool list, kirk89! Can you walk me through using the bending bar once Iā€™ve heated the club?

39

Sure! Once the club head is heated, place it in the bending bar and apply slow, even pressure to bend it in the desired direction. Make minor adjustments as neededā€”patience is key.

I recommend doing a practice run on an older club first. Keeps the stakes lower and builds your confidence!
