Head to head

PING G430 MAX 10K vs G440 MAX driver

Choose the G430 MAX 10K if off-centre strikes cost you most and you want PING's high-MOI head for less.

Choose the G440 MAX if you want to set a draw or fade, or the newer face.

G430 MAX 10K $449.98G440 MAX $447, each with its shop and checked date

The G430 MAX 10K is built for stability above all: a fixed back weight set low and deep and PING's largest head shape took it past 10,000 g-cm² of combined MOI, and PING called it the straightest, most forgiving driver it had made. The G440 MAX is PING's newer all-round head, with a 29-gram back weight that sets draw, neutral or fade, a hotter face and a 46-inch standard length; PING publishes no MOI for it, and gives the record in the G440 range to the G440 K. Both are 460cc in 9°, 10.5° and 12° with the same eight-position hosel.
