Why Loft & Lie Matter for Your Child

​
At iGen Golf, we focus on loft and lie because they directly affect how straight, solid, and confident your child feels on the course.
​
Here’s why this matters to you as a parent:
Loft = How High the Ball Goes
Loft controls how easily your child can get the ball into the air.
If loft isn’t right:
• The ball may fly too low
• Distance gaps between clubs won’t make sense
• Your child may struggle to hold greens
Proper loft helps:
• Build confidence
• Create predictable distances
• Make the game more enjoyable
​
Lie = Where the Ball Starts
Lie angle controls direction.
If the lie angle is off:
• The ball may consistently start left or right
• Your child may try to “fix” it with their hands
• Swing habits can develop that are hard to undo later
When lie is correct:• The club sits flat at impact
• The ball starts on target
• Your child doesn’t need to compensate
​
Why This Is Especially Important for Growing Kids
As kids grow: They get taller - Their arms get longer - Their posture changes - Their shaft length changes
​
When shaft length changes, lie angle usually needs adjustment too. If it isn’t adjusted:
• The club no longer fits properly
• Accuracy can suffer
• Confidence can drop
​
The Big Picture for Parents You wouldn’t buy shoes three sizes too big and expect your child to run well.
Golf clubs are the same.
​
When loft and lie are correct:
• The ball flies straighter
• Contact improves
• Confidence grows
• Development stays on track
​
Properly fit equipment doesn’t just improve performance
It protects your child’s swing as they grow.
