My Scotland L&L machine shows lie angles one degree apart with the 5 iron "standard" at 60�. However, that doesn't mean every golfer should play a 60� 5 iron. The best way to determine lie angle for a golfer is to have him hit balls from a hard surface. Attach a piece of masking tape to the sole of the club, mark a center lie on the tape, hit balls and note where the scuff marks appear. Each 1/4" equals roughly 1� of lie angle. You want the marks to fall at the center line. If they are toward the toe, the club's too flat, toward the heel, too upright. Note also that a length change of 1" equals roughly 3/4� change in lie angle. The fact that a 5 iron, for example, is set at 2 degrees upright doesn't necessarily mean that every club should be 2� up. You should check each club.
