This tool quickly helps you calculate the correct lie angle for your golf clubs.
How to Use the Lie Angle Calculator
To use this calculator, fill in the fields with the appropriate measurements:
- Club Length: Enter the length of your golf club in inches.
- Wrist-to-Floor Distance: Measure the distance from your wrist to the floor in inches.
- Player Height: Enter your height in inches.
- Club Type: Select the type of club (Iron, Wood, or Putter) you are using.
Click on the “Calculate” button to compute your recommended lie angle. The result will be displayed in degrees.
How the Calculator Works
The calculator uses a formula that takes into account your club length, wrist-to-floor distance, and height, as well as the type of club you are using. Here is a simplified version of the formula:
Lie Angle = ((WristToFloor / Height) * ClubLength) + Offset
The “Offset” value changes based on the type of club you select, to better match the typical lie angles for those clubs.
Limitations
This calculator provides an estimate and should not be considered a replacement for a professional fitting. Individual variations and preferences can significantly affect the optimal lie angle for any given golfer. For the most accurate results, consider getting a professional fitting from a qualified club fitter.
