The PING i20 fairway-wood lie reference is 56.5°–57°. Its listed progression runs from 3W at 56.5° to 5W at 0.5°, with lie steps ranging from 0.5° to 56.5°. Released in 2012, 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. Among the listed heads, 5W is the most lie-sensitive by loft. The adjustment route for this model is Adjustable hosel.

What stands out about the i20 lie setup?
The i20 lie progression spans 0.5° from 3W to 5W.
Every meaningful lie step is 0.5°, giving the set a very regular progression.
There is 1 repeated lie value where adjacent clubs share the same angle.
For PING fairway woods, lie mainly affects address fit, strike pattern and directional bias rather than replacing face/path fitting.
PING-family lie angle reference
| Club / head | Lie | Step | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3W | 56.5° | — | Starting lie |
| 3W | 56.5° | 0° | Same lie |
| 5W | 57° | +0.5° | More upright |

Dynamic hosel check for the PING i20
Should the PING i20 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
Playing length reference
| Club / head | Length |
|---|---|
| 3W | 43 in |
| 5W | 42.5 in |
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.
