Maybe I’m over thinking this, but with fairway woods with rails (Maltby UFW and Cobra come to mind), how do you measure the lie angle?

It seems to me, all you can do is sole the club in the loft/lie machine on the rails and that’s about it?

Also, since the rails make the club sit up a bit higher, wouldn’t the COG be higher on the ball than a normal FWY wood, resulting in difficulty getting the ball up in the air? I have a UFW which I flight a bit lower than I prefer, so just wondering if this could be a factor?
