Can you adjust the lie on irons?

Although lie angle can be adjusted on golf clubs, it is not something you are going to want to have to change back and forth day in and day out.

Can you change lie angle on irons?

The 2-degree limit is only recommended when changing the lofts on irons due to the potential effect such bends will have on the sole angle of the club. If the hosel design and manufacturing processes allow it, the lie of an iron can be bent 3-4 degrees or more with no compromise to the integrity of the head.

How much does it cost to adjust lie angle on irons?

Getting the loft and lie angle checked is going to run you anywhere from $2-$5 per club, depending on the amount of work needed. It's a relatively inexpensive tune-up that'll save you some massive headaches once the season kicks into gear, whenever that might be.

They normally charge $3 to $5 per club to make adjustments, so this could save you some cash if you can get them to throw it in.

Does lengthening a golf club make it more upright?

How should club head sit at address?

The face of the club should be positioned directly behind the ball at address. The line formed by the clubface should be perpendicular to the target line for normal, straight shots.
