What should the lie angle be of all of your clubs? If you got a fitting with a 7 or 6 iron and were fit 2 degrees upright from standard, should all of your clubs be 2 degrees upright from standard? For most golfers with regular swing speeds and up, the answer is no. This is subjective and different for every player, and also based on shaft weight. What most of my builds and elite players' builds have is a typically flatter lie in their wedges. The reason is deflection. At impact, the shaft bows slightly downward (toe down), which affects your dynamic lie angle. When you get to the shorter clubs, they deflect less because of lower swing speeds. The usual rule is to make your wedges 1 degree flatter than your irons. So in most builds, if the golfer fits into a 2-degree upright lie angle, if I’m doing their wedges and specifically scoring wedges, I’ll put them at 1 degree upright from standard and go from there.
