PING Drivers, Irons and PuttersOne page per club type, compared by official numbers

PING is a maker whose drivers and irons come in lines of similarly named models. In return, it's also one of the few makers that publishes official head weight for its putters. I lined up the current models listed on the Ping Golf Japan official site by the numbers.

Driver PING G440 Drivers: Differences Among the 5 Models Only the LST is 450cc and 45.25 in. The K is ¥11,000 higher and the most forgiving. Irons PING Irons Compared: 7-Iron 28° to 33° The G440 and i540, and BLUEPRINT S and T, have the same loft in every club. The G740 and i540 were updated and gained loft. Putter PING Putters Compared: Head Weight 345 to 375g Rare among major makers, it publishes head weight for every model. Prices come in three tiers: ¥44,000, ¥66,000 and ¥71,500.

About the writer and how this page was made

I'm a golfer who averages a 72, plays about 150 rounds a year, and enjoys reading gear specs side by side.

This page is not a hands-on impression. It is a list of official figures from the makers. The sources of the figures are listed at the end of the page. Check price and stock on each shop's page before you buy.

Here is what I have hit and used from PING. For the G440 K driver (10.5°), I hit about 70 balls in a local golf shop's fitting room in January, and 15 balls at the same shop on October 24. The 15 balls averaged 246 yards of carry, with a spread of about 8 yards left and right. For the utility, I hit the G440 (measured 21°) for 20 balls at an indoor range on October 10: average carry 210 yards, about 8 yards left and right, spin about 4,300 rpm. I also used it once on the course on October 31, where it went 205 yards, 5 yards short of the number, into a headwind of 2 to 3 m/s. For the putter, I have used a SCOTTSDALE ANSER 34-inch for about 15 rounds since June 2026. For irons, I only held the i540 7-iron at address in a shop in October, and I only saw the G440, G740 and BLUEPRINT.

At a head speed of 46 m/s, the PING I think suits me best is the G440 K. Over the 15 balls on October 24, the spread stayed within about 8 yards left and right, and even when my slight fade showed up, the curve was small. The drawback: it is 5 yards shorter than the QUANTUM (251 yards over 20 indoor balls), so it will feel a little light to anyone who puts distance first.
