Dynamic Lie (Putting)

• Definition
  • The angle of the lower portion of the shaft relative to the horizon at impact.
  • A golf club comes with a Static Lie at purchase, which is the angle of the lower portion of the shaft relative to the horizon.
  • This angle between shaft and horizon can be different at impact depending on how the player delivers the club. The angle measured at impact is Dynamic Lie.
• The Use of Dynamic Lie
  • First, the Static Lie affects how the golfer stands and sets up the ball, impacting comfort and allowing them to make a natural putting stroke without compensations, which can lead to better confidence and feel on the greens.
  • Consistent delivery of the lie of the club at impact helps ensure that the club face is square to the intended target line, that the ball is consistently struck in the middle, etc. leading to more accurate putts.
