G430 MAX 10K $449.98G440 K $647, each with its shop and checked date

The G440 K replaced the G430 MAX 10K as PING's straightest, most forgiving driver. The 10K was the first PING head past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI; PING calls the G440 K's MOI a record for a PING driver, but prints no figure. Both are 460cc heads in 9°, 10.5° and 12°, with the same eight-position hosel and a 58.5° lie. The difference you can use is the back weight: fixed low and deep on the 10K, moved between neutral, draw and fade on the G440 K. The G440 K also adds carbon to the sole, a lighter hosel and a 46-inch standard length against 45.75 inches.
