Lies about the longer sticks
One of the best things (and easiest since I outsourced the task) I have done for my golf game was to flatten the lies of my irons.

1. I picked a plane (turned shoulder)
2. Made sure my left wrist was flat level and vertical with a small #3 Acc. angle...my right wrist was bent level and vertical.
3. Asked the guy to match the lie to that alignment.

That alleviated to a large extent the pull that has plagued me persisently for quite some time. My question to those in the know is this: What about the "big sticks". I get that the longer clubs have less loft and less hook face, but the magnet do-hickey that Bucket made me get to check out face alignment suggests that if the sole of the club with the longer clubs is not placed as the manufacturer intended i.e. flat it still looks left. In my case, the toe is always up a bit. This is the case with my hybrids and woods. What to do? Right now I aim a bit right and play a slight pull draw (to observers this looks like a baby draw) The only way I can think to fix this is shorten the shaft...but I refuse! What do you guys think? I am sure the pros have their drivers bent if needs be, right?
