While we're on this topic, let me raise another point. Homer also said lie angle doesn't matter because the unevenness of the golf course even when the ball is on the fairway will easily offset the couple of degrees of difference in lie angle of the club. Now I know some very knowledgeable people (i.e. has knowledge in TGM and clubfitting) who disagree with that.

Also from personal experience, I'd have to say lie angles can make a difference. One of my best friends and co-workers, Steve Ferguson, wouldn't be able to play with my clubs. I'm about six feet tall and have very long arms. Steve on the other hand is about 5'6" and also has very long arms, for his height. I use a 38" 5 iron and a standard lie angle, and Steve uses a 37 1/2 inch 5 iron that's 6 degrees flat! That alone should debunk the myth I've heard that Henry-Griffitts fitters fit everyone long and upright. I've also fit a man that was 6'11" in a club that was 6 degrees upright and 3" longer than standard. These are the extremes, but I can only marvel at the differences in the strokes after being properly fit.
