Question Lie angle?

Hi



Anyone knows how to describe, professional term, the shaft and club's leading edge.
i.e 5 iron is differ to p wedge.

Is it the reason why we position the ball in the center when using wedges?

Thanks.

lie has to do with the heel or the toe being too low or too high. the reason we move the ball forward and back in our stance is because of the bounce angle and to make it easier to get the ball in the air. ...... Correct me if im wrong.

Lie angle is not the reason we position wedges more toward the center.

Lie angle as was said earlier is how much the toe is pointed up or down. If you have an upright lie angle then the toe of your club will be pointed more up in the air and usually making you contact the ground with the heel of the club first, thus making contact with the ball on the heel and having it come off the face and usually go left of the target. If the toe is flat or pointed down you'll make contact with the ground out on the toe and usually be more prone to hitting the ball on the toe of the club.

We move wedges farther back because the club is shorter, therefore, the bottom of the swing arc occurs further back in it's travel than that of a longer club because of the steep path.
