Tom, what I always did when setting my clubs or a customers set is take a magiv marker and cover the sole of the clubhead. I would then stand on a 4'x8' piece of 1/2" plywood and take a swing hitting a plastic whiffle ball. I would then look at the magic marker on the sole of the clubhead as to just where on the clubface I was hitting the ball. If the marking on the sole was near the toe that would mean that the lie was too flat, nearer the heel too upright. I would then make my adjustment and remark the sole and make another swing. I really do not care how my customer holds the club at address, it's all comes down too where the sole is when they swing thru the hitting area.

Subject: ShopTalk: CLUB LIE ANGLE
I know I read somewhere, maybe here in ShopTalk, a standard for club lie
angle. My question however is how do you know what to change it to?
When I address the ball with a club, woods and irons, I feel like I have
to stretch my arms out so the club sets flat on the ground. I much
prefer to have my arms loose and hanging from the shoulders. When I do
this I am told that I am not striking the ball correctly, that I am not
getting full power into the swing contact with the ball. So, can I
alter that lie without damaging my set of clubs? My irons are TA 845s',
woods are various different makes ranging from TI 360 driver to 9 wood.
Looking at the clubs at address I can not tell the difference myself,
after all how much does it have to be off to make a diff?
