Hi,
if i m going to have my irons 1/2 inch shorter, do i need to adjust lie angle 1 degree flatter or upright?
Thanks

Upright as club shortens.
Try them STD first and look at your divots. If they are heel heavy then get them bend upright until they are flush.
I tend to make long irons a bit more upright and wedges a bit flatter. With long irons upright you can get the ball up quicker and draw easier. . With wedges where you are hitting a lot of half shots there is less toe droop than a full swing. Toe droop flattens the effective lie angle more on a full swing
A good test is to look where your shot pitch/ chip shots come off the face around the practice green. If they come off left , they are too upright, too flat they come off right.
