G440 HL SFT

Robot/lab data: the chassis ranks 2nd in playable shot percentage and straight shot percentage with the highest fairways hit percentage in the high swing speed breakdown — one of the most accurate drivers in the 2025 cycle. Reviewer testing noted a small but noticeable improvement in off-center performance compared to the predecessor SFT, particularly low on the face. Manufacturer design: Free Hosel design redistributes 4g of mass for higher ball-speed retention on heel-area strikes. MOI ~5,200 g·cm² — high for a draw-biased chassis. The HL build inherits the same head architecture for the slow-swing target.

Reviewer testing cross-comparison: distance is comparable to the family max-MOI head, representing an improvement over the predecessor SFT. Manufacturer design: ball-speed gain via 6% thinner forged face and new Free Hosel design. Robot/lab data: the chassis does not rank as well from a distance perspective — accuracy is prioritised over peak speed. HL build adds ~9 yards for slow swings via 15% lighter system weight. Distance is meaningfully improved over the predecessor but slice-correction remains the priority.

Reviewer testing: the chassis has two weight settings (Draw and Draw+), with the 23-gram tungsten weight producing a 7-yard change from a 13-yard draw to a 20-yard draw — both positions impose left-bias. Independent commentary: the draw bias feels even stronger than the predecessor with at least 15-20% increase. Manufacturer design: even the chassis's standard face angle is 1.5 degrees closed compared to when the family max-MOI head is set in a draw setting. The chassis is purpose-built for slice elimination; intentionally non-workable.

Reviewer testing: the feel is powerful and solid, yet controlled and smooth — meaningful generational improvement. Independent commentary: off-center strikes lose some of the solidness but still feel responsive, with less vibration at impact compared to the predecessor SFT. Family-wide manufacturer design improvement carries through the HL build — Carbonfly Wrap crown saves mass and dampens vibration. Premium 2025 max-forgiveness feel.

Independent commentary: the chassis has one of the best sounds of any family SFT driver yet, moving away from the metallic, high-pitched clang to a considerably softer and more muted sound that's about average on the loudness scale. Reviewer testing: thanks to the Carbonfly Wrap, the brand was able to give the chassis a more muted, pleasing sound at impact; indoors or out, the chassis is below average in volume. Family-wide generational acoustic improvement. Class-defining 2025 family SFT acoustic.

Reviewer testing: the chassis features a Carbonfly Wrap crown as the standard material for all family models, while the predecessor SFT had a titanium crown — the addition of the Carbonfly Wrap crown elevates the look at address to a whole new level. Heel-shifted alignment cue and 1.5° closed standard face angle clearly cue the draw-bias function. Independent commentary: clean modern silhouette appropriate for the slow-swing slicer target. Meaningful aesthetic upgrade vs the prior generation.
