Ping G440 Max Fairway
The new Ping G440 fairway woods feature a higher profile face and redesigned center of gravity, together ensuring more confident tee shots and easier play from the turf. They stand out thanks to Free-Hosel Technology, which allows weight shifting and maintains a low center of gravity for a high launch, whether playing at practice pace or in full tournament mode. Ping expands its family of innovations that open the way for players to achieve more stable ball flight, higher ball speed, and improved control – all with a pleasant, muted sound at impact.
Three models for different golfers: MAX, LST, and SFT
The Ping G440 line offers three fairway wood variants to better cover players’ specific needs:
- MAX suits most golfers looking for a reliable, highly forgiving fairway wood. It is available in five lofts (3, 4, 5, 7, 9) for ideal distance gapping.
- LST (Low Spin) promises higher ball speed and lower spin, appreciated mainly by golfers with fast swings seeking longer shots. Available in 15° (3) or 19° (5) lofts.
- SFT (Straight Flight) benefits from a CG shifted toward a draw bias, significantly reducing slice and helping the ball fly straighter. Offered in lofts 16° (3), 19° (5), and 22° (7).
Free-Hosel Technology and increased face area
In the MAX models, 11.5 grams were removed from the hosel and surrounding area, which the manufacturer reinvested into constructing a larger face area (up to 4% more than the previous generation). This minor “weight loss” lowered the center of gravity, so even with a taller wood head, the Ping G440 fairway maintains a high launch and easy playability both from the tee and the fairway.
Contoured Sole Design: Better turf interaction
The redesigned shape of the clubhead’s sole allows it to settle more reliably on the course surface without changing the face angle. This means that whether you adjust loft or lie, the face remains in a consistent position for clean and accurate shots. This feature highlights the versatility of every Ping G440 wood.
CarbonFly Wrap Crown: Low center of gravity and muted sound
Just like the drivers in the G440 series, the fairway woods feature a lightweight carbon crown. This shifts some weight to the lower parts of the head, further enhancing stability at impact while producing a pleasantly muted sound when striking the ball.
Trajectory Tuning 2.0: Precise loft and lie adjustment
The lightweight, versatile hosel with eight positions allows loft adjustment up to ±1.5° and lie adjustment up to 3° flatter. The result is a combination designed for truly precise shots with ideal trajectory – including higher ball flight or a more aggressive landing angle when playing into the green.
Options to fill gaps in your bag
To help players build a set for every distance, the G440 MAX is available in five different lofts. SFT covers #3, #5, and #7, while LST offers #3 and #5 for those who want their fairway woods in a low-spin version. This wide range of options helps comfortably fill distance gaps between the driver and hybrids/long irons.
LST: Multi-material design for higher speed
The special LST (Low Spin) version with a titanium face (HST) and lightweight Ti811 body construction, complemented by an 85g tungsten weight in the heel, combines premium materials. This delivers extreme ball speed, reduced spin, and maximized distance, making it an ideal choice for powerful players with aggressive swings.
Ping G440 fairway woods represent a top-tier combination of increased face height, thoughtful weight distribution, and modern technologies for even easier and longer shots. Whether you need the versatile MAX model, the low-spin LST variant, or the SFT to eliminate slice, you can always rely on higher ball speed, friendly control, and adaptable trajectory.
