For most Players…

Standard lie angles on most irons will be approximate. To determine if lie angle adjustments are necessary for your irons, refer to the chart below to determine your wrist to floor measurement.

Determine your wrist to floor measurement…

While wearing your golf shoes or street shoes stand on the floor with your normal posture, looking straight ahead, and have your arms hanging in a relaxed position by your sides.

Then…

Have someone measure from the major crease in your wrists to the floor on both hands and adjust yourself if necessary to make both wrist measurements the same. (by measuring both wrists to floor this will determine if you have a tendency to lean left or right in your normal posture)

This is your wrist to floor measurement. Now look up your lie angle on the chart below.
