Lets assume that your swing is in top form and the you contact the ball 1.5" before low point and that separation occurs .75" before low point. You are still moving towards the 'fully uncocked' left wrist which you reach when the club contacts the lie board. If you go completely by the information on the sole tape, you will adjust your clubs too upright for the lie angle that was present thru the separation.

If you left wrist reaches fully uncocked at low point, your divots should be slightly 'toe deep'at low point to have the correct lie angle for impact.
