Ping G440 SFT Driver

Loft Options & Stock Shafts

Game Improvement Driver

The Ping G440 SFT is Ping's draw-biased option in the 2025 G440 lineup. SFT stands for Straight Flight Technology, which is Ping's way of saying this club is built to counteract a slice. If you're losing balls right consistently, this is the driver Ping made for you.

Internal weighting sits toward the heel, which promotes draw spin bias at impact. Pair that with a 460cc head and you get a driver that fights your slice while offering plenty of forgiveness on mishits. Ping didn't build the SFT for the golfer who has it all figured out. It's for the one who needs help keeping the ball in play.

Worth knowing: this isn't a cure. A severe over-the-top swing will still produce a pull or pull-slice regardless of what club you're holding. The SFT works best for golfers whose slice comes from a face-angle issue rather than a catastrophically steep path. Think of it as a correction built into the hardware.

• Players with a consistent slice who want a driver that actively works against it, not just a neutral club they're expected to fix with swing changes alone.
• Mid-to-high handicappers who'd rather keep the ball in the short grass than squeeze out every last yard.
• Anyone who has tried a standard draw-bias driver and still couldn't fully neutralize their fade.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much draw does the Ping G440 SFT actually produce?

Ping's internal testing puts it at roughly 20-25 yards of draw influence compared to a neutral driver at typical swing speeds. Real results vary depending on your path and face angle tendencies. Most golfers with a moderate slice see meaningful straightening, even if it doesn't eliminate the curve entirely.

Can I use the G440 SFT if I already hit a draw?

Technically yes, but the draw bias is fixed in the head design and will amplify what you already have. If you move the ball right to left naturally, the standard G440 or G440 Max are better fits. The SFT is built for a specific problem.

How does the G440 SFT compare to the G440 Max for forgiveness?

Both are 460cc, so the overall head size and face area are the same. The Max has a slightly higher MOI because its mass is positioned for pure forgiveness rather than directional correction. The SFT trades a bit of that MOI for the heel-weighted bias. If your main issue is direction rather than off-center contact, the SFT makes that trade worthwhile.

Is the loft on the G440 SFT adjustable?

Yes. The hosel adjusts across eight positions, giving you roughly 1.5 degrees of loft change in either direction. The draw-bias weighting is fixed in the head and can't be altered, but you can dial in trajectory height and shape your ball flight within that draw window.

How is the G440 SFT different from the G430 SFT?

The G440 SFT gets Ping's updated T9S+ face, which Ping says produces more consistent spin across the face on off-center hits. The Carbonfly Wrap composite crown is also lighter, freeing up mass for better positioning. The core draw-bias philosophy carries over from the G430 SFT, but the G440 is tighter on mishits.
