and the Scotland L&L machine I recently purchased (roughly 6 years old). The Scotland lofts are based on the older 'standard' of a 30� 5 iron, but doing the math is easy enough to measure the loft & lie.
A 30 degree loft on a 5 iron is a standard used from 1980 - 1987, unless Scotland didn't make the change, your machine is the same age as one of mine and older than 6 years.. It doesn't matter since if the loft measures 2 degrees strong you have a 28 degree 5 iron. I have compared my readings to a Mitchell and they are dead on except the Scotland has an easier to read scale (larger spaces between numbers of degrees). As for lie angle - be sure to slide the gauge against the face of the club to be sure the club face is not at an angle, adjust the toe stop and clamp down (I then check the face position again with the gauge again). Now you can read off the machine what the lie is. Trust the Scotland!. I have two of them and think they are the fastest to use, simpleist and best priced machine around.
