What is the best way to compensate for a poor lie angle?

When considering a poor lie angle, focusing on the length of the club is the optimal approach. The lie angle of a golf club refers to the angle between the shaft and the ground when the club is in its resting position. A club that is too long or too short will impact how the club interacts with the ground during a swing, thus affecting accuracy and performance.

By adjusting the length of the club, the player can better align the clubhead to the proper lie angle for their stance and swing. This change can help ensure that the sole of the club rests flat on the ground at impact, promoting a more consistent strike and improving overall ball flight.

While other options such as loft adjustment, grip modification, or swing modifications might influence how a player performs, they do not directly address the issue of a poor lie angle in the same way that adjusting the length of the club does. A properly fitted length contributes to the overall balance and allows the player to set up correctly, ultimately leading to improved performance on the course.
