The PING i240 irons use a 59°–64.1° lie-angle reference. Its listed progression runs from 3-iron at 59° to UW at 0°, with lie steps ranging from 0.1° to 58.2°. this model is best fit through PING Color Code rather than by choosing upright or flat from height alone. The UW is the most lie-sensitive listed club in the set because its 50° loft magnifies face-direction change from a lie error. Use the chart below to compare the set progression, then confirm the final fit dynamically from strike, start direction and turf interaction.

What stands out about the i240 lie setup?
The reference moves from 3-iron at 59° to UW at 64.1°, a total progression of 5.1°.
The 7-iron at 62° is the strongest mid-set reference for dynamic testing.
Higher-loft short irons are more directionally sensitive to the same lie error than long irons, so confirm the fit through the set rather than from one club alone.
These are current PING published values for this model.

How PING Color Code changes the i240 lie angle
Should the PING i240 be more upright or flatter?
Test a more upright Color Code when…
- Toe is consistently down at impact
- Centred shots start right despite stable delivery
Test a flatter Color Code when…
- Heel is consistently down at impact
- Centred shots start left despite stable delivery
Do not change lie just because…
- You are using height alone
- Playing length or strike pattern is inconsistent
Playing length reference
| Club / head | Length |
|---|---|
| 3-iron | 39 in |
| 4-iron | 38.5 in |
| 5-iron | 38 in |
| 6-iron | 37.5 in |
| 7-iron | 37 in |
| 8-iron | 36.5 in |
| 9-iron | 36 in |
| PW | 35.5 in |
| UW | 35.5 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 bases iron lie specifications on Black Color Code at standard length. Historical models may differ from the current reference, so verify the exact head before a permanent bend. PING fitting/specification reference.
