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. If it is at an angle adjust until it is
straight up and down and the ball is going at the target.

Measuring Lie
I saw this post at an online forum and wonder if there is a new
method I've missed out on (besides a lie board) to get a lie
reading?
I don't mean to get off topic, but a loft/ lie board does not work
accurately. To get a true lie reading, you have to get the reading
at contact. The lie boards are obsolete. The shaft deflects as much
as 2.5 degrees (in either direction) immediately after contact, and
the lie board gives a reading after contact. Furthermore... irons
have different sole properties and the leading edge on some grinds
don't line up with scoring lines.
So to sum this up... if you get fit using a lie board... you aren't
getting fit at all!
