The PING Rapture 3 Wood fairway-wood lie reference is 56.5°. The key reference is Reference lie at 56.5°. Released in 2014, the main fitting goal is centred contact and a natural address position, with face angle and face-to-path still carrying more influence over large directional misses. The adjustment route for this model is Adjustable hosel.

Rapture 3 Wood lie-angle fingerprint
What stands out about the Rapture 3 Wood lie setup?
This model uses a single lie reference of 56.5° rather than a multi-club progression.
For PING fairway woods, lie mainly affects address fit, strike pattern and directional bias rather than replacing face/path fitting.

Dynamic hosel check for the PING Rapture 3 Wood
Should the PING Rapture 3 Wood be more upright or flatter?
A more upright fit may help when…
- A fitter confirms the current head fits too flat dynamically
- Another factory build produces better strike
A flatter fit may help when…
- A fitter confirms the current head fits too upright dynamically
- Another factory build produces better strike
Do not change lie just because…
- You plan to bend a fixed metalwood head
- You have no repeatable strike baseline

Because playing length changes posture and hand height, judge dynamic lie with the actual club being fit rather than applying one correction across the whole family.
PING states that iron lie angle is fitted through its Color Code system and that current Black Color Code specifications are based on standard length. Current adjustable PING metalwoods use hosel positions that can change loft and lie; use the instructions for the exact generation. PING Color Code Chart.
