The lie is measured by determining the angle that the club head extends from its shaft, which is attached like a hinge. For taller players, this hinge appears slightly closed.
Another important factor in the customization process is to determine the Arm Length. This determines the length of your child's shaft. Your child should not crouch or choke up on the club to hit.
The people in the golf shop will then determine the Arm Length. It is important to determine the length of the shaft. The club should fit your child normally, without having him to crouch or choke up on the club.
