Swing Changes And Equipment

[cometgolfer]

After finally getting a lesson in with an AI last week, I'm now setting out to get some more precision in my game.

Some of my "issues" stem from a right forearm that wasn't on plane at address (mine was too high... the "low hands" syndrome). I have an underplane transition which leads to a lot (too much) of #3 accumulator at release and impact.

The remedy involves better extensor action, a truly "bent and frozen" right wrist, and a more "appropriate" use of accumulators #2 and #3. My swing has the appearance of not being able to un-cock the LW to level at impact so my hands also look "too low" there as well.

The bottom line is that I'm trying to get my swing more on-plane. I currently use Ping S59's in a Red dot (one degree flat and a half-inch over std). The static fit from their website says I should be more like 2 to 3 degrees upright, but I was dynamic fit to the Red (which makes total sense based on my swing). Everything I'm working toward, I believe, should and will result in hands that are "higher" than they are now at impact. My question is - should I adjust the lie angle on my irons to reflect where I'm trying to get to with my swing? If so, is it a "gradual" adjustment?

I'd like to hear what the fitters out there do with a student who is trying to make swing changes that could be affected by their equipment setup.

Thanks,
