ping yellow dot

[zaiko2000]

For my height I should use the black dot . My question is will it make a big difference if use a yellow dot club ? ( an 8 iron )

Somebody any experience ?

They actually call it "gold dot"...it's the flattest lie angle they offer.  It's almost 4 degrees flatter than a black dot, so yes, it will be a noticeable difference.  If it's just one club, you might be able to have the lie angle adjusted at a reputable shop in your area.  If not, have it sent back to Ping and they will do it for a small charge (and repaint the dot!)

There is also a Yellow dot. I believe it's 1and a half degrees upright. For some reason Ping used it as standard for the G Max and G irons in '15 and '16.

Depends on how good you are. For a hacker 20+ handicap probably would matter. But any good shop can bend it.

Played a lot of ping dots last year when getting irons. In the end I went 0.75 degrees more upright than my fitting for a trade in set, and they play well. No problems with them going left.

1.5 degrees more is a bit more difference, so hard to say for sure , but Id guess you'd be ok.

If anything it'll help you draw the ball.  I bet you'll be fine, it's not much off from " ping standard".

imsee you live in Belguim...my son is heading out to Belgium the week of August 4th playing in a rock festival with The Dee Snider Band ( Twisted Sister).
