It is important to achieve a smooth roll at impact and 5 degrees of loft seems to accomplish this very nicely. A flatter lie angle with more loft also makes the club feel more comfortable when stroking the ball.

Most golfers take the time to get properly fitted with all of their clubs except one, the putter. Guess which club can save you more strokes than any other? A putter that is not correctly fitted can cause overcompensation in your stroke. Matching your putter to your style and stature is amazingly simple and not at all costly and
doing so will shave strokes off your game.
