Ping is known for creating drivers that are very easy to hit. Last year, I got great results with the G430 10K.
I can hit it anywhere on my face and get good results. The rotation is not too high, it feels good. But this is not perfect. The head is too big and looks busy, and all the depressions on the crown have no moving weight. The G440 LST solves each of these problems.
The compact head (450cc) looks easier to control behind the ball. In addition to the turbulent, the crown now has a two-tone effect.
The older Ping drivers may be a bit clumsy, but these new carbon crown models feel so solid and balanced. Although it is not the lowest rotary rotary drive, the rotation is very consistent, so the drive is highly repeatable.
On the start monitor, there are other drivers I might be able to hit five more, or even further ten yards. But I never hit a driver who consistently brought me into the fairway like the G440 LST.
I’m not playing very well at the moment. I don’t really feel about swing. Still, most of my drives are located in the center of the fairway.
I’ve made a few really bad hits from my toes lately, and in the past, this usually leads to duck hooks. With Ping’s toe built-in rotating design, most of these hooks become straight drives. I do have to try to hit the ball in order to miss the fairway at any distance.
