Ping G440 Max Fairway Wood

Ping G440 Max Fairway Wood

The new Ping G440 fairway woods come with a higher profile of the striking face and a redesigned center of gravity, which together ensure a more confident tee shot and easier play from the grass. 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 a practice pace or in a full-intensity tournament. Ping thus expands its family of innovations that open the way for players to achieve a more stable trajectory, higher ball speed, and improved control – all with a pleasant, muted sound upon contact.

Three models for different golfers: MAX, LST, and SFT
The Ping G440 series offers three variants of fairway woods that better cover the specific needs of players:

• 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 a fast swing seeking longer shots. It is available in lofts of 15° (3) or 19° (5).
• SFT (Straight Flight) benefits from a center of gravity shifted toward a draw effect, significantly reducing slice and helping the ball fly straighter. It is found in lofts of 16° (3), 19° (5), and 22° (7).

Free-Hosel Technology and increased striking face area
In the MAX models, 11.5 grams were removed from the hosel and its surroundings, which the manufacturer invested into constructing a higher striking face (up to 4% more than the previous generation). This minor “diet” 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 ground contact
The redesigned shape of the bottom of the clubhead allows it to settle more reliably on the course surface without changing the face angle. This means that whether you adjust the loft or lie, the face remains in a consistent position for a clean and accurate shot. This feature highlights the versatility of every Ping G440 wood.

CarbonFly Wrap Crown: Low center of gravity and muted sound
As with the drivers in the G440 series, the fairway woods also use a lightweight carbon crown. This shifts some weight to the lower parts of the head, further supporting stability on impact while producing a pleasantly muted sound when striking the ball.

Trajectory Tuning 2.0: Precise loft and lie adjustment
The light and 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 an ideal trajectory – including higher flight or, conversely, a more aggressive landing angle when playing to the green.

Options to fill gaps in the bag
To allow players to assemble a set for every distance, the G440 MAX is available in five different lofts. SFT covers numbers 3, 5, and 7, while LST offers numbers 3 and 5 for those who want their fairway woods in a low-spin version. This wide range of options helps comfortably solve 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 striking face (HST) and lightweight Ti811 body construction, complemented by an 85g tungsten insert in the heel, combines premium materials. This provides extreme ball speed, reduced spin, and maximized distance, making it an ideal choice for powerful players with a strong swing.

Ping G440 fairway woods represent a top combination of a larger striking face height, thoughtful weight distribution, and modern technologies for even easier and longer shots. Whether you need a versatile MAX model, a low-spin LST variant, or an SFT to eliminate slice, you can always rely on higher ball speed, friendly handling, and adaptable trajectory.
