The PING G440 hybrid uses a 57°–59.5° lie-angle reference. Its listed progression moves from 2H at 57° to 7H at 0.5° in consistent 56.5° steps and 4 repeated lie values. Released in 2025, lie fit matters for both strike and start direction, but this head should be evaluated as a hybrid rather than treated automatically like a bendable iron. The 7H shows the largest lie-error effect among the listed lofts. Its fitting route is Trajectory Tuning.

What stands out about the G440 lie setup?
The G440 lie progression spans 2.5° from 2H to 7H.
Every meaningful lie step is 0.5°, giving the set a very regular progression.
PING hybrids use lie as both a fit and trajectory variable; on current adjustable models, the published lie is an average across hosel positions.
On Trajectory Tuning 2.0 models, the hosel can alter loft by ±1.5° and provide a flatter lie option; use only the positions supported by that exact head.

Dynamic hosel test for the PING G440
Hit the neutral / stated setting first and record strike, start line and launch.
Use only the indexed PING positions for this exact head.
Use the flatter setting when dynamic fit and start direction support it.
Should the PING G440 be more upright or flatter?
Stay standard / more upright when…
- Standard lie produces centred contact
- Start direction is neutral and repeatable
Test the flatter setting when…
- A flatter setting improves centred strike
- Start line improves without hurting launch
Do not change lie just because…
- You are using lie to fix a face/path problem
- You skipped the neutral baseline
Playing length reference
| Club / head | Length |
|---|---|
| 2H | 40.75 in |
| 3H | 40.25 in |
| 4H | 39.75 in |
| 5H | 39.25 in |
| 6H | 38.75 in |
| 7H | 38.25 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.
