Please allow 30 minutes for this process.

1. Loft and Lie:
The loft and lie angles on your irons are extremely important to any golfer's game, so I'm constantly amazed when golfers pay them so little attention. Both these angles easily distort with play and practice and should be checked annually, a golfer not checking these angles is throwing away shots. The angles are easily checked and adjusted at the same time by the same piece of equipment and consequently the work can be carried out economically. Loft and lie are two different subjects with two very different effects on your game.

As the lofts change/distort on a set of irons, you could end up with 2 or 3 golf clubs achieving similar distances, leaving yardage gaps a golfer can't fill with a full swing. As with the loft angle on a club, the lie angle easily distorts and again club manufactures do not guarantee zero tolerance on these angles. If the lie on your golf clubs are too upright, you will hit the ball left of target and if they should be too flat for your swing you're going to hit right of target. The problem increases as the loft of the club increases, so get these angles wrong on your wedges and you can forget about emulating the pros.

2. Swing-weight:
Swing-weight is a scale of measurement the golf industry use to show how heavy a club head will feel in your hands in relation to the rest of the club. (it has nothing to do with actual club weight) Swing-weight is expressed as a letter and a number, e.g. C10 or D2. Measurements range from A0, the lightest, to G10, the heaviest. A club that is measured at D5, for example, will feel heavier when swung than a club that is measured at C7.

3. Shaft Length:
Getting the shaft length right has to be one of the most important factors in club fitting, if the club is too long for the golfers ability, it will mean an increase in off centre hits/missed centre of gravity, resulting in off line shots and a massive loss in distance.
