Lie is the rise or lower in Lie (the angle between the membership shaft and the bottom) between the beginning of a stroke and affect with the ball, measured in levels. Assuming the putter face is flush with the bottom at the beginning of a stroke, lifting your arms will enhance Lie, spinning the ball away from you. Reducing your arms will lower Lie, spinning the ball in the direction of you. In a biomechanically environment friendly placing stroke, there shouldn’t be a rise or lower in Lie.
