PING G440 LST

8.6 overall

The Bottom Line

PING G440 LST finishes 3rd overall for 2025 Most Wanted Driver. Two scoring categories propel it to third place - distance and forgiveness. PING G440 LST ranks 7th for distance and 3rd for forgiveness. Carry distance and total distance are the obvious reasons why it ranks highly for distance. Two underlying metrics within forgiveness are carry distance consistency and ball speed consistency. PING G440 LST excels at both.

👍 Buy This If

You want distance: PING G440 LST ranks 7th overall for distance among 37 drivers. It packs a punch and beats out some top dogs. A core reason is it offers the tightest ball speed delta. Shot to shot, testers saw extremely tight standard deviations when it comes to ball speed. Something to consider if you crave distance.

You want consistency: PING G440 LST’s forgiveness performance is outstanding. There are core metrics we evaluate for forgiveness, but it boils down to this – how well does a driver produce consistent shots, consistently? As we’ve alluded to, G440 LST excels at carry distance deltas and ball speed deltas, but it also thrives at producing tighter shot area. All things considered, it is a damn good driver.

👎 Don’t Buy This If

✖︎ You think turbulators need to go: Look, some of you are ready to die on this hill. We get it. But, until PING finds “turbulators” ineffective, they’re staying put. And before we go, PING G440 LST is one of the highest rated drivers for looks. Let that sink in.
