On paper these two are almost the same club. The Ping G440 Max and the Ping G440 SFT share a $350 MSRP, an adjustable hosel, the same High Launch tag, and the same stock shaft choices, Aldila Ascent 50 in regular and Aldila Ascent 45 in senior. The real gap is the loft lineup. The G440 Max runs from 15° to 24° across five heads, with a 4W at 17.5° and a 9W at 24° that the SFT does not offer. The G440 SFT stops at three lofts, 15°, 18° and 21°. The Max suits anyone filling a specific gap at the top of the bag. The SFT covers the common slots and nothing more.
Pick the G440 Max unless price is your first priority. It is the newer design, one year on from the SFT, and its wider loft range gives you more ways to fit it. The G440 SFT is the 2025 model, which usually means it is the one you will find discounted. If the 3W, 5W or 7W is all you need and a lower street price matters more than having the latest release, the SFT is a sensible buy. If you want the 4W or 9W, or the current model at the same list price, the Max is the clear choice.
