The Ping G440 SFT HL Fairway Woods are specifically engineered to cater to golfers with slower swing speeds who struggle to generate sufficient clubhead speed and ball velocity with traditional Fairway Woods. By utilising lighter backweights, ultra-light shafts like the Alta Quick 35/45, and lightweight grips such as the Lamkin UTX 41g, the G440 HL Fairways help reduce the overall system weight. This allows golfers to swing the club faster, leading to more ball speed, higher launch angles, and longer carry distances
The Ping G440 SFT HL Fairway Woods are specifically designed for golfers in need of slice-correction technology. By featuring a draw-inducing CG location, these clubs help promote a more neutral ball flight for players who tend to slice the ball. With optimized face thickness in the heel and toe regions, the G440 SFT HL ensures consistent performance across the clubface, even on off-center strikes. The club's advanced technology and Tour-preferred profile make it an excellent choice for golfers looking to improve their accuracy and consistency.
By slimming down the back-weight profile, the PING G440 SFT Fairway Woods ensure that the club sits more flush with the ground, allowing the face angle to remain consistent. This design allows golfers to benefit from multiple loft and lie settings provided by the adjustable hosel, optimising ball flight and ensuring stability, regardless of swing style. The enhanced sole design improves turf interaction, helping players achieve smooth, consistent contact with the ball on every swing.
The CarbonFly Wrap Crown technology, present in all three models (MAX, LST, SFT), helps save weight by redistributing mass to lower the center of gravity (CG). This reallocation improves forgiveness, allowing for more consistent ball contact, while also contributing to a more muted, pleasing sound at impact. By utilizing this innovative crown design, PING achieves optimal weight distribution to enhance performance without sacrificing feel.
With the Trajectory Tuning 2.0 Adjustable Hosel, the PING G440 SFT Fairway Woods offer 8 adjustable settings for loft (±1.5°) and lie (up to 3° flatter than standard). This allows golfers to fine-tune their launch angle and ball flight, ensuring they can achieve the best results possible based on their swing characteristics and course conditions. The ability to customize ball flight further enhances overall performance and consistency.
By removing 11.5 grams from the hosel, screw, and heel section of the SFT models, the Free-Hosel Technology optimises weight distribution. This weight-saving technology enables the creation of a 4% taller face while maintaining the ideal CG height. The result is improved confidence for golfers off the tee, along with the low CG that enhances high-launch performance, particularly when hitting from the turf or challenging lies.
The taller face profile of the G440 SFT is 4% taller than its predecessor, which boosts player confidence when addressing the ball off the tee. This feature, combined with the low CG design, ensures that golfers achieve high-launching, powerful drives, whether from the tee or from the fairway. The enhanced face design allows for a more forgiving, consistent performance across a range of conditions.
