Ping G440K driver adds more carbon, more forgiveness and more distance

Story byDavid Dusek, GolfweekTue, January 13, 2026 at 2:45 PM UTC·3 min readGear: Ping G440K driverPrice: $705 with Ping Alta CB Black shaft and Golf Pride 360 Tour Velvet grip. Specs: 460cc titanium head with carbon fiber panels on the crown and sole, forged T9S+ titanium face, 32-gram rear tungsten weight, and adjustable hosel. 9, 10.5 and 12 degree loft options. AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementWho it’s for: Golfers looking for Ping’s most stable and forgiving driver. What you should know: The G440K builds on the success of the G430 Max 10K with a refined multi-material chassis, a slightly longer profile, and an even higher moment of inertia (MOI) designed to keep the clubface square through impact, launch the ball higher, and tighten dispersion without changing how golfers swing. The Deep Dive: Ping’s history with stability dates back to the moment Karsten Solheim first moved mass to the perimeter of a putter in 1959. That same principle underlies the G440K driver, but the engineers at the brand’s Phoenix, Arizona, headquarters now have far more advanced materials and modeling tools than Solheim ever did in his garage.

Key Highlights

  • The company hit that milestone with the G430 Max 10K, a driver that instantly became one of the most forgiving models on the market.
  • With the G440K, Ping pushed the concept further by rethinking how and where every gram of mass could be saved and reassigned. The G440K has a 32-gram moveable weight in the back that can create a draw or fade bias. Two carbon fiber panels — one on the crown that wraps around the top edges and another on the sole — form what Ping calls Dual Carbonfly Wrap.
  • Each composite section saves about 3.5 grams compared with titanium.
  • That redistributed mass, combined with a 32-gram adjustable tungsten weight in the back of the head, pulls the center of gravity lower and farther away from the face.
  • The result is an MOI around 10,300 g/cm², roughly two percent higher than the G430 Max 10K and nearly 10 percent higher than the G440 Max.
