Keeping static lie angles constant, which club will play more upright as a result of changing from a shorter club to a longer club during a fitting?

When considering the relationship between club length and lie angle, it's important to understand how changing the length of the club affects its playing characteristics. As club length increases, the angle at which the club lies on the ground also becomes more upright. This is particularly due to differences in the player's posture and swing mechanics when using longer clubs compared to shorter ones.

In a fitting scenario, if the static lie angles are kept constant, the longer clubs will naturally play in a more upright position because the player's hands will be positioned higher above the ground relative to the clubhead. This is a result of the player's natural stance, which changes with the length of the club they are using. The longer the club, the more upright the player's swing arc tends to be, thus creating a situation in which the longer club will 'play' in a more upright manner.

On the other hand, shorter clubs will not have this same effect, as they position the player's hands lower, resulting in a flatter swing plane relative to the ground. Wedges and putters can also have unique characteristics that influence how they interact with the ground but are not primarily affected by changes in length to the same degree as longer irons or woods. Therefore, in the context of this question about how the club
