ZM Forged lie-angle fingerprint
What stands out about the ZM Forged lie setup?
The ZM Forged moves from 60° at the 3-iron to 64° at the P — a total progression of 4°.
The lie steps vary from 0.5° to 1° across the lineup.
There is 1 repeated lie value where adjacent heads share the same angle.
For dynamic fitting, 7-iron at 63° is the best central reference.
Within the iron set, higher-loft short irons are more directionally sensitive to the same lie error than the long irons.
Any lie change should be made by a qualified club fitter using a loft-and-lie machine.

Dynamic lie test for the Titleist ZM Forged 7-iron
Test only if the head is safe to bend and dynamic evidence points upright.
Record strike and start direction before changing anything.
Use the same setup and ball position so the comparison is meaningful.
Should the Titleist ZM Forged be more upright or flatter?
Test more upright when…
- Toe is consistently down at impact
- Centred shots start right despite stable delivery
Test flatter when…
- Heel is consistently down at impact
- Centred shots start left despite stable delivery
Do not change lie just because…
- Strike pattern is inconsistent
- Playing length or face/path is the real issue
Playing length reference
| Club / head | Length |
|---|---|
| 3-iron | 39 in |
| 4-iron | 38.5 in |
| 5-iron | 38 in |
| 6-iron | 37.5 in |
| 7-iron | 37 in |
| 8-iron | 36.5 in |
| 9-iron | 36 in |
| P | 35.75 in |
Because these heads use different playing lengths, judge dynamic lie with the actual club being fit rather than applying one lie correction across the whole family.
Dynamic lie changes with delivery, shaft deflection, playing length and setup. For SureFit metals, use the Titleist chart for the exact category and handedness. For irons, wedges and putters, use a qualified fitter or putter technician before bending. Titleist SureFit guide.
