Has anyone ever given thought to the "correct" lie angle for irons and wedges at address?
I have always gotten my wrists, hands and arms in a position that allows me to get my irons and wedges flat with the ground since the day I first picked up a club.
I had one of the club pros out with me on the range helping me figure out the proper lie angle for my wedges and he asked me to stop forcing the club head into a flat position. He indicated that starting with the toe slightly up at address is the optimal starting point. He indicated that the shift forward and forward hand position at impact squares the club up perfectly.
I've actually noticed that a buddy of mine (scratch) always has the toe of his irons slightly up at address. I've never said anything to him because I am in no position to be pointing things out to a player as good as he.
Thoughts?
