A Height Chart Guesses at Lie Angle. We Watch Where the Sole Lands.

Walk into most shops and lie angle gets picked from a number on a wall chart tied to how tall you are. We tape the face and set every club on a board before touching a spec sheet, because a chart can't see your posture, your grip, or how your hands present the club at impact – only a real swing can.

Why This Matters

Three Kinds of Contact We See on Every Board

A tape mark and a scuff pattern together tell a story a height chart never can. Here's roughly what each one usually points toward before we've even started adjusting anything.

T

Toe Contact

Tape lands toward the toe, board shows toe-down. Points toward a lie that's flatter than your setup calls for.

C

Centered Contact

Mark sits on the sweet spot, board reads flat. Lie, length, and posture are already lined up.

H

Heel Contact

Mark drifts toward the hosel, board shows heel-down. Usually a lie that's too upright, or a grip pulling your hands in too tight.

Chart vs. Board

The Gap Is Bigger Than People Expect

A height chart puts you in a rough bracket and calls it done. Match lie to your actual sole contact instead, and the tape mark stops wandering toward the toe or heel on anything that isn't a genuine mishit – dispersion tightens fast once that happens.

A Few Words From Golfers Who've Been In

★★★★★

Two other fittings and nobody ever taped my face. Watching the mark drift toward the toe explained a slice I'd fought for two seasons straight.

HR

★★★★★

Seeing the board next to my new set on the monitor made it click in about ten seconds. No chart ever explained it that clearly.

TB
Tyler B.Iron Fitting
★★★★★

Walked in ready to buy a driver. Walked out with a grip and length fix on my irons instead – cost less and made a bigger difference.
