Fairway Tips and News publishes a guide explaining how putter lie angle mismatches cause missed putts, detailing fitting solutions to improve directional accuracy on the greens.
-- Fairway Tips and News has published a new guide addressing one of the most misunderstood problems on the greens: why putts consistently miss to the left or right even when a golfer's stroke feels sound. The guide explains how putter lie angle, an equipment specification most golfers never think about, can quietly undermine directional control on every putt attempted.

The reason lie angle matters so much comes down to physics at impact. Research on putting suggests that face angle at the moment of contact accounts for 83% of a putt's starting direction. This means even a small equipment mismatch can send a ball offline before the stroke itself is evaluated, making lie angle a more significant factor in missed putts than many golfers realize when troubleshooting their game.
The guide defines lie angle as the angle formed between the shaft and the sole of the putter when the club rests flat on the ground. Most off-the-rack putters ship with a lie angle of approximately 70 degrees, a figure meant to suit an average build, but posture, arm length, and torso shape all influence what angle actually fits an individual golfer, so the standard spec often falls short for many players.
When that standard doesn't match a golfer's setup, the guide explains, a specific and predictable pattern emerges. A lie angle that is too upright lifts the toe of the putter off the ground, closing the face slightly and pushing putts left for a right-handed golfer, while a lie angle that is too flat raises the heel instead, opening the face and sending putts to the right. This distinction is central to what the guide covers for readers trying to understand recurring misses.
Correcting the problem, the guide notes, typically comes down to a proper putter fitting. When lie angle is fitted correctly, the toe and heel of the putter sit evenly at impact, promoting cleaner contact and a truer forward roll. Most traditional putters with a standard hosel can be bent by a qualified fitter to match a golfer's correct specifications, often without requiring a new purchase.
Because putting accounts for a substantial share of a golfer's overall score, correcting a mismatched lie angle through fitting can meaningfully cut down on missed putts over time. Fairway Tips and News created the guide to give golfers at every skill level clear, practical information they can use to make better decisions about their equipment.
