The PING ChipR wedge uses a 70° lie-angle reference. The key reference is ChipR at 70°. Its unusually upright setup is intentional because the club is designed around a putting-style posture and stroke. Because wedges have more loft, even a small lie error can create a more noticeable face-direction change on partial and full shots. Fit it through Specialty wedge fitting and confirm the result dynamically.

What stands out about the ChipR lie setup?
The 70° lie is intentionally much more upright than a conventional wedge because the ChipR is designed around a putting-style setup and stroke.

Dynamic lie fitting for the PING ChipR
Start with the stock lie after setting the correct playing length.
Length is critical because the ChipR is used with a putting-style posture.
Confirm the sole sits naturally without forcing the hands high or low.
Should the PING ChipR be more upright or flatter?
Test more upright when…
- Toe-down delivery repeats on centred strikes
- Start direction is consistently right for a right-handed player
Test flatter when…
- Heel-down delivery repeats on centred strikes
- Start direction is consistently left for a right-handed player
Do not change lie just because…
- You are fitting from height alone
- Strike pattern or setup is inconsistent
