The Lie Aline
fitting system:
The LieAline Fitting System will teach you to automatically setup to every
putt in your same natural setup position by providing instant feedback. The
very subtle vertical notch, located on the back edge of the top line, will
guide you into your correct setup position giving you the greatest chance of
producing a consistent and repeatable stroke path. Simply take your normal
and comfortable address position and look down the vertical notch. If you see
the entire white sight line then your Two Bar putter is setup perfectly for
you. If you do not see the entire line then the putter is either too upright
or too flat for your natural setup. To make the necessary adjustments use the
simple instructions on the LieAline Bending tool and/or follow the instructions
detailed in the "Technique of Champions" DVD, both of which are included
with every putter. Once you see the entire line through the vertical notch
you are guaranteed to setup in the same position every time. Adjustments take
just seconds!
The goal is to allow you to adjust the putter to your natural stance instead
of adjusting your setup to fit the putter.
How to adjust the lie angle of your Guerin Rife putter.
Four
easy steps:
1.
Establish setup. Using your Guerin Rife putter, set up in
your most comfortable address position.
Be sure you are standing on a flat surface.
2.
Determine your lie angle. Compare the top alignment line to the center cavity
line.
If you see...
...the notch
outside the
cavity line your lie angle
needs to be more upright.
...the notch
inside the
cavity line your lie angle
needs to be flatter.
...notch
inline with the
cavity line your lie angle
is perfect.
3.
Attach lie bender. Insert the putter face
first, into the lie bender.
(as shown here)
Every Guerin Rife putter includes a free lie bender.
4.
Adjust lie angle.
Securing the bender with both feet, flex
the shaft in the desired direction (as determined in step 2. above) to
adjust your putter to the ideal lie angle. Don't worry, you won't bend
the straight part of the shaft.
Note: If you do not have a bender you may use your feet
or a non-abrasive vise.
Why is the right lie angle important?
The
name "LieAline" literally means the combination of lie angle and target
line alignment. Only Guerin Rife putters have this unique feature. By
setting the lie angle to create one center sight line that matches the
target line, a golfer establishes a constant relationship between the
eyes, the hands, the putter head, and the intended line to the hole.
This "triangulation" of the eyes, hands and putter promotes a consistent
stroke path. By tying this path to the target line, the result is amazing
accuracy.
Triangulate the eyes, hands and putter head to lock
in consistent alignment and stroke path.
