Getting the correct lie angle of your wedge will ensure the position of the club head at address and impact will strike the ground, rather than the heel or toe. A club which is too upright for a golfer will cause the clubface to close, resulting in a pull or a hook (for right-handed players), while a club which is too flat will hit the ground with the toe, causing the clubface to open and resulting in a push or a slice (for right-handed players).
Use this guide to determine which club length and lie is right for you, based on your height and wrist-to-floor measurement:
Length + Lie Measurement
(↔ Player Height / ↕ Wrist to Floor)
3 Flat
2 Flat
1 Flat
STD
1 Up
2 Up
3 Up
NOTE: Selecting the correct club length will ensure the golfer is in the address position which can be maintained throughout the golf swing. Too long a club length will cause a shorter player to stand too upright, while too short a club length will cause a taller player to stoop over the club.
Women’s clubs are traditionally 1″ shorter than men’s. To determine the correct length for a woman, simply add one inch to the length suggested in the chart. For example, if the chart suggests shortening a man’s club by one inch, a woman’s club (already one inch shorter) might not need any length adjustment.
* Measurements should be performed by someone other than yourself.
** Lie angles listed are intended as a reference point. Professional custom fitting is needed to determine correct lie angle.
