Rick,

That is exactly why teachers should be the only people fitting golf clubs. If you understand how to read the marks made on the lie board you can tell if the swing is too steep or too shallow. Fat hits and thin hits will also give misleading readings. By reading the marks I am not only refering to the location of the mark but also the shape of the mark. There is really only one shape and one location that will be accurate. The lie board does not lie if you know how to read the marks then fit accordingly.
