PING s159 Wedge Lie Angle Chart

The PING s159 wedge uses a 64°–64.5° lie-angle reference. Its listed progression runs from 46° at 64° to 62° at 64.5°, with lie steps ranging from 0.2° to 0.3° and 6 repeated lie values. The 62° is the most lie-sensitive listed loft in this model. 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 PING Color Code and confirm the result dynamically.

What stands out about the s159 lie setup?

The s159 progresses from 64° at 46° to 64.5° at 62°.

Lie steps vary from 0.2° to 0.3°.

There are 6 repeated lie values where consecutive lofts share the same angle.

The higher-loft wedges sit slightly more upright than the lower-loft options, so short-shot posture and sole contact should be checked at the actual loft being fit.

Dynamic lie test for the PING s159

65.3°1° upright test

Only test a different Color Code if dynamic delivery supports it.

64.3°Black-code baseline

Record centred strike and start direction first.

63.3°1° flat test

Keep setup and playing length consistent.

Should the PING s159 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
Verify the exact PING specification before changing lie angle
