I went through a fitting a little over a month ago and was able to swing my new irons for the first time a couple of times this weekend. I hit them great during the fitting, but was having troubles this weekend. My swing does not feel any different but I was hitting everything consistently toward the heel of the club and occasionally hitting off the hosel. Trying to get some confidence back, I started hitting my wedges at the range as I kept my old gamers after the fitting. Even with the wedges, everything was being hit toward the heel and hosel.
Like I said, during the fitting I was hitting the irons and my gamer wedges really well (slight draw going toward target line) and have always made good contact with my wedges in the past. After being fit for the iron head and shaft, my fitter had me swing off of a lie board without hitting a ball and decided to bend the clubs 1.5° flat based off the tape results. He did the same thing for my wedges, bending them 1.5° flat but I didn't hit a ball with them and hadn't hit a ball with them until this weekend. We used a Trackman so dynamic lie angle was not taken into consideration.
So my question is, do I need to just keep hitting the clubs to get used to the new lie angle or should I have them bent back to standard as the standard was giving me good results during the fitting? Or does a flat lie angle not even cause hitting towards the heel of the club and I have a swing issue going on that I could possibly being unaware of?
I have a pretty steep attack angle if that changes anything. Now, I'm not the most consistent ball striker but was shooting between 87-93 when I was using my old clubs at standard lie angle and made good contact in the center more often than not.
Any help or information is appreciated!
