PING’s G440 driver family remains one of the safest bets in the game for forgiveness and consistency. It comes in three heads (Max, LST, and SFT) that share the same technology but target different players.
What’s New Across the Range
The standout change is a Free Hosel design: PING removed weight from part of the hosel and relocated it lower and farther back, creating the brand’s deepest center of gravity ever in a driver. A CarbonFly Wrap crown saves more weight for the same purpose, a thinner, more flexible titanium face broadens ball speed across the hitting area, and a slightly longer stock shaft adds a touch of speed. All heads keep an adjustable hosel of plus or minus 1.5°.
G440 Max: Maximum Forgiveness
The Max is the do-everything model that fits most golfers, built around a 29-gram, three-position adjustable back weight and offered in 9°, 10.5°, and 12°. If you are not sure which G440 to play, start here.
G440 LST: Low Spin for Speed
The LST (Low Spin Technology) is a 450cc head aimed at faster swings that need lower spin and more control. It also carries the 29-gram back weight and comes in 9° and 10.5°.
G440 SFT: Straight-Flight Help
The SFT (Straight Flight Technology) is the 460cc slice-fighter, with a two-position (Draw and Draw+) 23-gram back weight. Notably, PING now offers it in a 9° head (something fitters had been asking for) so slice-prone players with speed no longer have to give up a stronger loft.
Who It’s For
Almost everyone finds a fit somewhere in the G440 range: the Max for the majority, the LST for stronger players chasing lower spin, and the SFT for anyone battling a slice. As always with PING, a fitting for loft, shaft, and weight setting pays off.
