  1. I have a set of AP2 710s and when fitted they were adjusted 2 degrees upright. Since playing with them I have adjusted my swing for it to become much more a flat plane swing and therefore the ball tends to be more drawn to the left. Would it be possible to do a second adjustment? Bend the clubs to go from 2 degrees upright to 2 or 3 degrees flat?

    Hey Jasper.

    2 Possibilities.

    Your ball could be drawing left is because of the flatter plane, not necessarily lie angle. I've heard from many clubfitters that to bend 4-5 degrees they run the risk of snapping the head, and most won't risk being held responsible for trying to bend the club that much. I would suggest you reach out to your Certified Titleist Fitter and get your lie angles checked.

    Second, I would also recommend looking at your swing on film from a Certfied Teaching professional. What you perceive as flat could be right on plane or possibly too flat. Before you go and get refit I would see where your swing is at, as you don't want to adjust your clubs, then swing, then clubs again.

    Regards.

    You can have them adjusted - we would recommend checking to make sure you have changed your swing by 4° and then having your fitter set up the bending here at Titleist since your 710's are still under Warranty.

  4. Hi Cathi

    Thanks for reaching out. Apparently you have access to a register that includes my clubs. I only hold a quality certificate which does not mention the warranty period. Would you know until when or for how long it typically runs? By the way, before having them adjusted, I will have my swing checked at the Titleist fitting center where I bought them, and ask if they can take care of the refitting, as you recommend.

    The written Warranty period is 1 year, but we always make an attempt to help TT members for as long as we have parts.

    Chances more upright more to the left  u will hit. sounds like u 're more over the top. Put Lie back to standard, stay more to the inside, u should get a better flight in direction. Lie becomes more important if u make a CORRECT move to the ball, and do not get the desired  results. Most players try to adjust lie for a poor move to the ball. Good luck......

    I found out with my irons that my 6 iron is standard lie, the 7 iron is 1/2 deg upright and the 8 iron down to the lob wedge are a degree upright.  I play a 37" 6 iron and 35.5" 9 iron and PW,  My Eye 2 fit was Blue Dot.

    Agree with rest - important for proper posture and balance when doing a lie board check.  The fitter should have been able to point out swing faults during the session (most of them that I know of are pretty close to scratch golfers).

    Playing with clubs that are too flat and compensating can also cause a low screaming hook.

    With the clubs being too upright with a normal stance, the toe of the club points up too much.

    Also a good idea is to take a known straight hitting club and hit it and the club being fitted off the lie board.  I found out that one of my old irons hit 1 tick mark toward the toe.  Had I centered the scuff mark I would have been hitting a 66 degree lie angle 9 iron.
