TaylorMade SIM DHY Driving Iron Lie Angle Chart

The TaylorMade SIM DHY lie-angle progression spans 59.5°–60.5°. Driving irons sit between long irons and hybrids in fitting behaviour, so playing length, turf contact and start direction all matter.

What stands out about the SIM DHY lie setup?

The listed lie values span across the model.

Every meaningful lie step is 0.5°, giving the progression a very regular shape.

Use centred strike and start direction together rather than judging lie from static setup alone.

Dynamic lie test for the TaylorMade SIM DHY

61°1° upright test

Test only if the head is safe to bend and dynamic evidence supports it.

60°Baseline

Record centred strike and start direction before changing anything.

59°1° flat test

Use the same setup and ball position for a useful comparison.

Right-handed reference: too upright tends to bias start left; too flat tends to bias start right. Reverse the directional wording for a left-handed player.

Should the TaylorMade SIM DHY be more upright or flatter?

Try more upright if…

  • Centred shots repeatedly start right.
  • The toe is down through impact.
  • An upright test improves direction without hurting turf contact.

Try flatter if…

  • Centred shots repeatedly start left.
  • The heel is low or grabs the turf first.
  • A flatter test produces a straighter start line and cleaner contact.

Check something else first if…

  • Contact is inconsistent.
  • Face-to-path explains most of the miss.
  • Playing length or posture is clearly unsuitable.
Verify the exact TaylorMade specifications before relying on these numbers

Golf-club specifications can differ by model year, loft, region, custom build and adjustable-hosel setting. Before buying, fitting or changing a club, compare these figures with TaylorMade’s official specifications for your exact model. If a measurement is critical, have the club checked by a qualified fitter. Verify with TaylorMade.
