What Actually Happens When You Hit a Golf Ball (SLOW MO) 🤯⛳️ Golf Swing Tips #shorts

WHY They Lie ⬇️

If you go to a club fitting and the fitter pulls out a lie board, RUN! This is not an accurate way to fit your clubs to the correct lie angle.

The “lie angle” of your golf club is basically the angle formed between the shaft and the clubhead. When you hit a golf ball, ideally, the entire sole of the club contacts the ground. Hitting the ball well is a lot harder when you hit with one edge of the club (toe/heel) closer to the ground than the other.

To fix that issue, the “lie angle” is adjustable on many clubs. It’s a big reason to get fit for clubs!

However, if your club fitter tries to use a lie board (what the ball is sitting on here), you can get a lot of poor feedback. Here is why:

🔹 If you happen to contact the board early, you’ll get inaccurate feedback

🔹 If you happen to lean the shaft backwards at impact (common mistake), you’ll get inaccurate feedback

🔹 There’s a chance you miss the board entirely (thin shots)

The easiest way to FIT for LIE ANGLE is simple - draw a VERTICAL LINE on the golf ball, put some tape on the club face, and make sure the line is straight up and down!

This will ensure your clubs are fit to the proper lie angle.

This strike on grass would never hit the ball. 6” of sod before the ball.
