I've been seeing a consistent mis when hitting some of my irons. Is it me or the clubs? There's really only 1 way to find out! Let's build a machine that measures loft and lie. This is a simple project and can be build in a day (you do need to let the glue dry...) but it will give you confidence that your clubs as playing as they were designed... or not... and will let you know if you need to have the clubs adjusted.
Here are the two angle finders that I bought on Amazon for this project:

I played a round yesterday on a friend's simulator. After playing, he was showing me a fixture that he made to measure the lie and loft. Lo and behold, it is just like this. I don't know if he got it from here or not, but it is exactly as you have shown. Thanks for a good video.

Hi Dick, that's awesome! This fixture is very simple to build and provides data points that I think are essential to play your best golf. That's why I made the video. Cheers!

Brilliant this is exactly what ive been looking for i can not wait to build one of these. I play soft forged blades they are a good 12 yrs old now so will defo need checking. Just a quick question does the taper on the shaft affect the reading at all.....im trying to picture in my mind how the fact that the shaft isnt dead cylindrical will affect loft? Will it make the club slighty out of plumb from the back board?

A taper shaft would affect the lie reading but not the loft. The block that rides on the aluminium rail will square the blade of the club (to the back board and allow you to adjust the grooves parallel to the bottom board) so your loft readings will be accurate. The lie will be affected by half of the taper angle... which is a very small number (if you can find it). Personally I would ignore it, as the comparison between each clubs (from the manufacturer specs) will tell you if something is out of wack. The lie tends to vary by half a degree between each iron (Callaway specs but I think this is pretty general) until you reach the wedges were PW and GW are the same. So if your lie isn't 1/2 a degree between each clubs you need to have that check. Cheers!

Nice job! Posting the plans/dimensions anywhere? Would like to put one together and would appreciate the time saving. Thanks!

I didn’t have a plan, I just worked from scrap materials I had available… the most important (and probably the only important) thing is the 2 planes have to be 90 degrees to one another.

Bonjour Patrice, excellent vidéo. en tant que clubmaker amateur, je pense bien m'en construire un semblable. Toutefois pouvez-vous me dire le nom de l'appareil que vous prenez pour la lecture du loft. Merci et bon golf

C'est un "angle finder" magnetique. Le link est dans la description du video. Fait juste attention de t'en procurer un qui a une lecture d'angle continue. Plusieurs de ces outils on des "steps" de 1/3 (ou meme 1/2) de degree au lieu d'etre de lecture continue.

Thanks for the video. I am going to build one. Just out of curiosity, did your golf shop confirm your measurements?

They did! I probably should do a video on the results of the adjustments. My shop charged $8/club to adjust, and I can't argue with the results!

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE ALUMINUM RAIL ? ISN'T THE BOARD FLAT ENOUGH?

If you go to 15:00 on the video, you'll see the block that's used to square the face is grooved on the bottom and it rides over the rail. That groove and aluminium rail keeps the block square so I can square the face.
