How lie angle at impact turns into a hook or fade

The fitter explains how lie angle at impact shapes your miss. If the lie is too flat, the toe sits up at impact and you can end up hooking the ball. If the lie is too upright ('too high'), you can hit toe-first with the loft pointing offline, which can produce fades. Useful for tying a persistent hook or fade to how the club is fit.
