My wife is Asian, 5'-1" tall and likes a 46" K15 12* PING driver. Her shots all start left because the toe of the head is practically pointing straight up. They seem to spin back towards center but she is only getting 160 carry and almost no roll. She hits a 43" PING Rapture V2 3 wood 170. Watching some of the shorter LPGA player, it seems their driver clubheads lie flat on the ground. Are they getting custom lie hosels (<58*)? PING said they could bend the long hosel of their I-15 driver down a couple degrees but it would be a one time bend and the max loft is 11*. Any suggestions? Thanks!

The tour players can get them bent or find on that's flatter.  Have you tried the Ping Faith line?
