This is interesting, I have only used lie boards, and have found for myself
and others that we are not consistent enough to notice the effect of small
lie variations when playing golf.
The vertical mark left on the clubface is dependent on several things:

As would the custom builders that go by catalogue specifications.
Some of you long-timers here will recall that several years ago I proposed the
argument that since there's never a level lie on a golf course, adjusting lie
angles to the nth degree is a waste of time. As long as it's pretty close it
should be "close enough".
Suppose you have a side hill l
Great post, Tom.

You know that will never happen!
I found a pretty nifty looking mat/lie board combination that might
also work for what I'm looking at doing at a small driving range.
It's pricey but would work for an outdoor situation (they might not
be too happy if I Sharpie their range balls).

Relative to What Tflan has said I used a lie board that was made by
TopFlite - 1/4 " thick with ridges from back to front. The board was mounted at
the
level equal to the top of the mat that the golfer was standing on. Thus
there was no difference in the height. No tape was needed on the sole -

It's possible there is some truth to it. Henry-Griffitts Co. published a
method of interpretation of lie board results that is more involved tha

to rear edge, and the shape of it.

I guess I've been using a lie board for over 25 years. I still have my second
one. The first wore out. There's at least one problem with the accuracy of the
lie board. Mine is one of those black plastic ones, about 1/4" thick. The
problem is the thickness. I try to use the lie board on a hittin

Thanks for the
Thanks Roy. I'll give this a try. I hated using a lie board.
I had one of those old Dynacraft black plastic lie boards and put one
of my patented ugly swings on it and smashed the board to
smithereens. You may have guessed that with a swing like that, a
correct lie isn't my number one concern.

I prefer to put a stripe on a ball with a sharpie and sit the ball down
with the stripe facing the club face at impact and pointing straight up
or perpendicular to the ground or sole at impact. Hit the shot then
look at the transfer on the face to see if it is straight up and down
or not.
