Professional Golf Management (PGM) 3.1 All Levels Practice Test

Lie angle is the angle between the shaft and the ground when the club is poised for impact. Bending this angle changes how the clubhead sits at impact, which shifts the spot on the face that tends to strike the ball. That change in contact location is the main way lie-angle adjustments affect performance. Direction and distance are more strongly influenced by swing path, face angle at impact, loft, and speed, not by lie angle. Shaft color has no impact on performance.
