How many degrees should the lie angle be adjusted if the impact mark is 1/2" from the centerline of the face?

When determining the adjustment needed for the lie angle of a golf club based on the position of the impact mark on the face, a general rule of thumb is that for every 1/4" the impact point is misaligned from the centerline of the face, a 1-degree adjustment in lie angle is recommended.

In this case, the impact mark is 1/2" from the centerline. Since 1/2" equals two 1/4" increments, this leads to a necessary adjustment of 2 degrees to correct the club’s lie angle and help the player achieve a more centered impact on the face of the club. This adjustment helps align the club better with the player's specific swing characteristics, promoting improved accuracy and consistency in ball striking.
