lot of pros bend 2 degrees down on their irons, therefore hitting it down even more?

Why not just get fit for lie dynamically and get it right?

My issue is that if you get fit dynamically and your swing isn't very good, then it's going to be more difficult to improve your swing. If your dynamic fitting requires you to have +4* upright lie angles because you come over the top and have a high handle at impact, dynamic fitting only provides very temporary help.
Kinda depends on what the golfer wants to do with their swing.

well if they want to hit it further..they can bend down 1 to 2 degrees, flatten out the lie.

i agree. There is no point fitting unless you feel like you hit the ball very pure 90% of 356 days.

It would be less confusing if Original Poster would use accepted golf industry terminology. Lie angle are bent either more Upright or more Flat from standard for that model. Loft is bent either Stronger or Weaker than standard for that model.

What % pure do you need to hit it on the other nine days?

That is, quite frankly, one of the dumbest statements I have ever read on this site!

i have seen people who got fitted, and it's not helping.
If you are a slicer, never learned how to square the club face, you will still figure out a way to open that club a bunch on the way down.
you can keep getting fitted, but you will have to fit every 3 month

J, your summation is not even close. There are many factors in fitting that have a direct influence on the golfer. Going to a big box store and hitting a handful of irons/drivers is not a fitting.
C'mon Jen, that makes no sense, do you think that there are slicers out there that have their clubs fitted properly and that there are slicers out there that don't have properly fitted clubs? Getting your clubs fitted for playability is worth it, fixing your slice is priceless.

I don't think I explain well enough. As we all know i'm not good with communication.
What I meant was that, a golfer should go fitting once he's sticking with that swing he has. My friend changed his swing 5 times, now how would fitting help if somebody changed swing so frequently?
I hope that clears up what I was trying to say.

that's true, for one shaft is really important. Kick point, shaft weight ect ect.

Only 5 times, that's nothing.
lol, i changed my swing 5 times at the course once. It doesn't really matter, because your goal is to get the freaking ball to the hole.
I can play hook all day or slice

A good fitting is really important. It will save you a lot of time and hassle.
1. get outdoors where you can feel the ball/turf interaction.
2. get outdoors
3. find a fitter/teacher who recognizes what Richie said above.
4. shafts feel really different, imo, and it's nice to test the different models and flexes.
"Dynamically" fitting a bad swing is simply a bad fitting. The fitter/teacher needs to be able to talk to the club buyer and make a plan.
When I was in the "club selling" business, I focused on set make up, grips, shaft feel and lie was the last thing and I did that AFTER we got their set AND they played a couple of rounds. I liked to get most guys in standard lie, have them play and bend after the fact.
