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.

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).

      Day 27 (4 Apr 26) - Worked with grandson on basic pitches/punches in the back yard with varied irons/wedges.  Wrapped up the day rolling some putts on the 30’ carpet I can set up in the yard to give varied terrain - and this carpet rolls almost too easy. A great way to figure a read and know that pace has to be near perfect to get in the hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of a struggle today.  Just some thoughts/musings.  For the backswing, it is like I am never going to be moving on from this. I don't know if I can ever get to the point where the backswing isn't like over 1.5 seconds in duration. Which is probably not ideal. I would like to get to the point where I can just fling the arms back and up.  I have to feel like my hands are going to hit my right thigh from P1 to P2. If not then they like to move 2-5 inches towards the ball from P1 to P2. Then it's just bad from there. This feeling is my hands not gaining much depth, just maintaining depth from set up. From the DTL view, the hands head towards the camera.  While I am doing that, hinge the crap out of the club with my wrist only. Hinge in a way that the club is pointing at the camera at P2.  From P2, lift the hands straight up. I can get here, and still roll the club inside and get it way too shallow.  With the downswing. There isn't much here. I still can't get the flow of this or the sequencing of this to line up. It doesn't help that hinging from P1 to P2 just throws off my entire timing as well.
