35inch from wrist to floor hands by my side, and in my address position 29inch from the bottom of the wrist to the floor. I am 5 foot 10 1/2.

I bent the clubs 6 flat to achieve a point I wanted to make in a book I wrote about Hogan's swing. I knew I was taller than Hogan and new I could bend them back the other way as needed but, I started hitting it really good and as long as I held my angle there was no toe dig.. Like every golfer does they want to progress and when I started working on some of the TGM stuff last week I found I needed to adjust. The adjust point with lie tape was 3 flat.

BurleyGolf,

Thanks for getting those measurements to me. Also I am glad to hear you are making progress with TGM and feeling confidence. I apologize for the delay in reponding to your posts I have been very busy teaching and playing golf myself, but today I've found a rainy day in the golf shop to respond.

In regards to your measurements.....Ping would reccommend a 62.25 lie angle on your six iron based on your static measurements. This is probrably considerably upright from your current set.....by the way what are you playing??

Now I am not saying that Ping is always right....but I have done hundreds of fittings over the last two years and I find Ping's static fit (standing measurements) to be with in two degrees of the dynamic fit (actually hitting balls off lie board) 95% of the time.

Also you said your clubs worked fine when you held the angle.

That angle in the wrist is Power Accumulater #2 in The Golfing Machine.
It is the angle formed between your club and left arm by the left wrist.

Power Accumulator's are out of line conditions of the power package....releasing them to inline releases their stored potential.

This should happen in the golf swing.

Refer to 6-B-0 and 6-B-2-0.

Now you don't want to release Power Accumulator #2 too early because that is casting, but post impact PA#2 should achieve an in line condition. I believe your lie angle will get more upright as you do this, and your ball striking will get even better.
