ABSTRACT:
A lie indicator for a golf clubhead that has utility as a golf practice aid. The indicator includes a straight bubble tube mounted in slightly skewed relation to a base member so that the axis of the tube and the axis of the base member are skewed at about one degree with respect to one another. The base member includes a flush mounted magnet that releasably secures the indicator to the face of the clubhead. The base member is aligned with a score line on the face of the clubhead so that when the golfer centers the bubble in the tube, an apparent one degree over compensation is provided. However, the lie angle of the clubhead is correct at the moment of ball impact because the mass of the clubhead causes it to rotate during the swing by about one degree.
