Performance index
Six researched ratings, lower (blue) through to elite (gold).
Where it wins
- Looks89
- Forgiveness88
- Distance88
Watch
Rated highest for looks and forgiveness; its softest dimension is workability.
You swing it fairly fast, spin the ball too much, and want a low-spin head that's as forgiving as they come.
You need help launching the ball, or want the biggest, most stable head — the Max or K suits you.
Pros
- The rare low-spin driver that out-forgives a game-improvement head
- Long overall through low spin and pinpoint dispersion, not raw ball speed
- Compact, great-sounding, and adjustable — the all-rounder of the G440 line
Cons
- Ball speed isn't the fastest — the distance comes from accuracy
- A compact, low-spin head still suits a stronger swing best
- Premium price
By dimension
Forgiveness
ExcellentAstonishing for a low-spin head — it loses less on a mishit than even the Max, thanks to a very deep weight position.
Distance
ExcellentLong through accuracy — ball speed isn't the fastest, but low spin and tight dispersion win it the most total yards.
Workability
StrongCompact and shapeable — at 445cc it's the smallest G440, and a movable weight lets a strong player work it.
Feel
ExcellentA clean, muted strike — the softest, most refined feel in the line, easy on the hands.
Sound
ExcellentA soft, muted note at impact — gentler on the ear than before, and among Ping's best.
Looks at address
ExcellentA compact, pear-shaped head with a smart carbon crown — a shape faster swingers tend to love.
