Our verdict on the PING G440 Max
Buy it if you are one of most golfers who want a forgiving, proven head. Skip it if you are one of players who want the newest PING high-MOI head — that is the G440 K. As with any driver, the shaft and loft matter more than the head, so get fitted before you pay full price.
