Does 1 degree upright make a difference?
An upright lie angle means that the angle between the shaft and the ground is larger than it should be, making the club shaft more upright compared to the ground. That doesn’t mean that an upright lie angle at impact is necessarily bad.
Should my irons be upright or flat?
If your club is too upright at impact, then your shots will travel to the left of your target. Conversely, if your club is too flat, then your shots will be heading right. For every degree that your lie angle is either too upright or flat, the ball will initially travel 4 yards off your intended target line.
Does upright lie promote a draw?
The upright lie also promotes a left tilting spin axis, which leads to what’s generally described as draw spin. An upright lie angle basically gives you a head start, but depending on the severity of the slice conditions the golfer generates, it certainly won’t guarantee a draw.
Do draw drivers fix a slice?
The latest draw-bias drivers cannot correct your out-to-in swing path, but they can help negate the slice spin imparted at impact. Drivers that are designed to fight a slice have been around for decades. Traditionally, they had severely closed faces, but the new models we tested look very much like a typical driver.
Does higher loft promote a draw?
Loft changes the ball flight vertically and lie changes the ball flight horizontally. If you increase the lie angle up, then this should create a fade and if you reduce it down then it should create a draw.

Should hands be in front of ball with irons?
With the wedges, irons and hybrid clubs, the hands should be at varying degrees ahead of the ball at impact to encourage a descending blow and correct swing arc. With the fairway woods and especially the driver, the hands need to be level with, or slightly behind the ball when off a tee, at impact.
Should clubface be slightly open at address?
Setting the clubface slightly open at address allows you to: Release the club fully without fear of hooking. Swing the club naturally with relaxed arms for maximum clubhead speed—and therefore more distance. Develop better feel for how the club is aligned as it swings through impact.
What is the proper way to hit with irons?
The key to hitting good iron shots is to hit the ball at the bottom of the swing. When swinging with woods, golfers want to make more of a sweeping motion, but with irons, it’s important to hit the ball at a steeper swing path. When working on the driving range, focus on hitting the ball first without taking a divot.
Which hand controls the clubface?
