Just a thought here bridges but what are the standard lie angles of the R9's compared to the 2.0's? I could look myself but I'm lazy and I want you to, ha!

Lie angle doesnt tell you where you hit the ball on the face, it tells you which part of the sole is hitting the ground first and harder.
But hitting it on the heel would explain the extra length in the shafts. Because the club is longer, it now means youre too close to the ball. So back off a bit
You could be so close, that youre hoselling it.

I tried. Had the ball out on the toe area at address and somehow managed to hit on the heel. Im sure I have nasty swing flaw.
Could you tell by divot direction about lie angle?
No, lie angle can be determined by which part of the divot is deepest. I will shoot a video trying to explain what I mean from what you tell me, and how to fix it.
I helped yoccos with something similar, hopeully he can chime in soon.
TC, There the exact same lie angles.
This is question/swing tip.
Talking about irons And wedges.
When a lie is adjusted 2* flat it helps the player hit less off the heel. But would this cause more of a fade/slice?
I have been hitting on the heel part of both iron and wedges and I can't seem to stop. I even back away from the ball some and still hit the inside part. I'm just afraid if they were to be adjusted to flat then It would cause more or a big fade and slice. I tend to add my baseball swing into my swing every now and then causing a fade which doesn't help. Do I have that right, or have the wrong idea about bending flat causing a fade?
Also how could I fix this without having them bent, any drills?

Negative ghost rider.Were you having this issue with the R9's?
(had to edit that word, because some on here hate it haha)If you are consistantly hiting near the heel of the club then your irons are too upright and need to be flatter. You will bring your hitting area closer to the sweet spot. This will not create a slice and more than, but it will get you hitting more solid shots. Have you been sh**** the ball more than usual?
I guess my swing is like yours. I too have a lot of contact towards the heel of the club.
Based on what I was told during my swing analysis/lesson the other week, choking down on the club will flatten the lie somewhat.
The instructor used a lie board and impact tape to show me.
Along with trying to get my swing more on plane and the use of his clubs which were 2* flat, the impact moved more towards the center of the club face.
So, for the time being I'm gripping 1-1/2 to 2" down on my 09 Burner irons and found a reason to look for some new irons.
My instructor and I could be wrong, but it seems to be "working". . .

Yes! And its pissing me off. Even with a dang PW.
GREAT STUFF! Will try that out for sure, and I think the farther I moved back just made me reach farther causing even more problems.
Thanks man! Oh and nice video title haha
That's a fine Canadianese accent right there! Nice thing to do for young Bridges there, Thainer.
Hope it helps. And if you ever seem to be backing off and hitting everything outside, reverse the drill. Just don't overdo it.
From the iPhone.
The point of a proper lie angle is for the entire clubface to feel the same resistance from the turf interaction. If your divots are heel deep, your clubs are too upright, and the toe will keel over(causing the face to close rapidly) and the ball will have a tendency to go left. If the divots are toe deep, it means the clubs are too flat, and the the heel will throw over causing the face to open and go right.
Heres what I can gather from your information.

Thanks for the Post yoccos! Glad it worked for you. Will be trying it out hopefully today.
