Complete Guide to Modifying the Lie Angle of a Persimmon Wood Including re-shafting, re-finishing, re-whipping, and re-gripping Introduction (by persimmongolftoday.org) Although many modern drivers offer some customization via wrench-operated hosel fittings and weight ports, some golfers will find their desired setups unavailable with modern gear. Fortunately, persimmon woods offer setups ranging +/- 10 degrees off of standard or more. Additionally, swing weight, dead weight, shaft stiffness, and appearance can be fully optimized with common shop tools. John Erikson (www.advancedballstriking.com) walks us through the process in this step-by-step tutorial which includes re-shafting, re-finishing, re- whipping, and re-gripping. Starting here with a 1970’s very nice Titleist Persimmon Driver. We are going to re shaft this thing, and flatten the lie angle to 50 degrees so we can swing properly on a flatter swing plane as so many of golf’s great ball strikers did from the past. A flatter driver encourages a more pivot or body driven golf swing, and it’s also much harder to hit the ball off line from a shallower swing plane. The great ball strikers of the past like Hogan, Trevino, Knudson, Player all knew this little secret of the game.
