The PING Rhapsody hybrid uses a 58°–59° lie-angle reference. Its listed progression moves from 4H at 58° to 6H at 0.5° in consistent 57.5° steps and 1 repeated lie value. Released in 2007, 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 6H shows the largest lie-error effect among the listed lofts. Its fitting route is Fixed / fitting only.

Rhapsody lie-angle fingerprint
What stands out about the Rhapsody lie setup?
The Rhapsody lie progression spans 1° from 4H to 6H.
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.
PING-family lie angle reference
| Club / head | Lie | Step | Pattern |
|---|---|---|---|
| 4H | 58° | — | Starting lie |
| 5H | 58.5° | +0.5° | More upright |
| 6H | 59° | +0.5° | More upright |

Should the PING Rhapsody 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 |
|---|---|
| 4H | 39 in |
| 5H | 38.5 in |
| 6H | 38 in |
| 7H | 37.5 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.
