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).

      I wonder if that is why my home course basically have no stakes now.  Not even markers.  It’s completely up to golfers to remember what is OB and hazard and how things used to be marked.     Even in tournaments, there is no marking and certain areas are played differently by different golfers who either don’t know better or use it to their advantage funny reading thru this with courses that actually have markers

      Electrolytes

      By Elmer · Posted

      Great post, thanks for the informaiton. I try to avoid adding salt to anything I eat. I tend to add pepper on to my meals as opposed to salt. And I am trying to eat as clean on possible. On golf day, I eat 3 eggs for breakfast (pepper NO salt) and a salad for lunch, with grilled chicken thigs (pepper, garlic, no salt). I have been trying to avoid processed food, but we all slip. I also should have mentioned that the electrolyte packet calls for mixing with 16 oz of water, however I mix in 32 oz of water, so I dilute the electrolyte powder.

      LIV Golf Now Closed?

      By imsys0042 · Posted

      So if I read the news correctly, the PIF will not fund LIV after this season.  LIV is trying to find new funding and a number of players there are now asking about getting back to the Tour.    I am very, very concerned that Taylor Gooch will not have a place where he can make a jackass out of himself soon
