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 than simply flat or upright. It involves toe/heel hits and swing path. You'd have to read not only the position of the mark from toe to heel, but also from leading edge to rear edge, and the shape of it. -Don M

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!-- Thanks!
