Hi,
I am preparing to go for a Custom fitting session for some new Ping irons. I have a lie board at home and through this know that I am hitting off the toe. Obviously when I go for my fitting session I will probably end up needing a different lie angle, but I was wondering if there was anything which could be put right before I settle for the altered lie angle.
I am 6" tall and have standard length clubs and can normally play to a decent standard of golf even with this repetitive "off the toe" ball striking.

cheers any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Leave it to the fitter to figure out that is his/her expertise. Don't do any swing changes that will affect the "truth". Also each manufacturer has a different system for figuring out the lie of their clubs so the amount of lie with one may not be the same as another. (I just read about this in a magazine but can't remember which one.)
