The PING G driver uses a 58.5° average-lie reference. Released in 2016, lie angle is a secondary tuning variable on this head: strike location, face angle, face-to-path and delivered loft usually matter more. The correct way to test lie is through the model’s Adjustable hosel generation system where supported, while comparing centre contact and start direction.

What stands out about the G lie setup?
A single average-lie reference is more appropriate here than inventing a loft-by-loft lie chart.
On a driver, lie is a secondary directional variable; face angle, face-to-path, strike and delivered loft usually dominate ball flight.

Dynamic hosel fitting
Start at neutral and establish strike and start-line data.
Use only the positions documented for this exact PING generation.
Use a flatter relationship only when dynamic testing supports it.
Should the PING G be more upright or flatter?
Stay closer to standard when…
- Strike is centred and start direction is neutral
- The current address fit feels natural
Test flatter when supported…
- The head consistently delivers too upright
- A flatter setting improves strike and start line
Do not change lie just because…
- You are trying to cure a face/path problem
- You are copying a hosel chart from another PING generation
Why playing length changes the lie fit
This model is listed at 45.75 inches. Playing length changes posture and hand height, so dynamic lie should be re-checked after any length change.
