Testing the PING Adjustable Hosel FLAT Settings

The PING adjustable hosel (known as the PING Trajectory Tuning 2.0 hosel) includes three FLAT Settings that players can utilize to flatten the lie angle and optimize their ball flights. The FLAT Settings on the PING Adjustable hosel will decrease the lie angle by up to three degrees, which can help combat a left miss for a right-handed golfer OR a right miss for a left-handed golfer.

In this video, 2nd Swing's Drew Mahowald is joined by master club fitter Jake Montgomery to test the PING adjustable hosel flat settings available on the PING G430 Max 10K driver. Drew has used the PING G430 Max 10K driver this year and it has performed well, but his common miss is left. Could the PING Adjustable hosel flat setting help him?

I changed to the flat setting last year and have hit the straightest drives ever. I’m 78 yrs young only hit drives 220-235 now but I know where it’s going every time I tee up.

new golfer --very informative info --thank you

I have all my Ping clubs (7w, 9w, 5h) set on flat and they are the only clubs I feel comfortable working a cut if needed with.

I play each of my hybrids in the flat setting (they’re PXG hybrids, but the flat setting is 3* flat just like PING’s), and it does help keep them from turning over too far left.

If you hit the ball straight in neutral setting (loft and lie) would the flat setting just mean it’ll go straight but starting right first then going straight?

[fairwayfinder]

I use the flat setting on my G430 but I also have the rear weight moved out to the fade setting toward the toe. I never see the left side of the fairway now.

How is the loft setting affected by the lie adjustment?

[rprev]

On the flat setting, does club face still open up when going down in loft like it does in the standard setting? So if you put it in flat setting and needed even a more open club face.

Have all my Ling woods in flat EXCEPT my gamer g400max doesn't have it😢... good replacement for flat setting would be obviously g43010k and possibly tsr2 as I thought those could be flat too?

[SecondSwing_Scratch]

Do the hosels on these appear bent i found one for sell and im thinking it might just be slightly broken??

[signals]

so your not really changing the "lie" angle, like the color coded ping irons do....changing this "lie" seems to just open and closed the club face angle....

[ugotmossed]

I have this club and it slices more than any driver I’ve ever hit. Any adjustment for that? I’ve been really disappointed in this club and the lack of fade/draw adjustment.

[dogsarefun]

2:02 looks like you had feet closed and shoulders open a bit....

[bullrambler]

I don't find the explanations too helpful. It would have been better if the head was removed and shown where the hosel setting was moved to make it a flatter lie. Also, if the head can be made to adjust the loft either higher or lower that should be shown on the video as well.

Guys, flat setting is 3 degrees down, not 1.5. How come club fitter doesn't know that? Clearly stated on Ping website.
