Today we are putting the brand new Ping G440 Max up against the old Ping G430 10K Max to see if it really is any better!
The Ping G430 10K was without question one of the best performing drivers of 2024, so how much better can the new G440 Max really be?
Well myself and Tom put them up against each other in a super in depth and detailed performance test to see how the numbers really do stack up against each other and we give you our honest opinion on forgiveness!

now Mr Ian Fraser is no longer doing reviews you are the only person I look to for reviews on the new equipment
This is by far the most honest review I’ve seen. Others have the same figures but still rave about the 440. This review really nailed it!
Anyone who quits their day job to chase their passion deserves a like and subscribe. Good on ya, mate!
Another cracker Ross. Always such high quality and informative.
Would liked to see the G430 10k with a 45.50 or 45.25 shaft which would have a swing weight closer to the G440 Driver & probably better dispersion
🤣"I'm not a fan of retro graphics"…with the most retro looking image behind your head. Love the reviews and your channel.
Shouldn't the comparison be the 440 max vs the 430 max. Not the 10k version.
Hi Ross thanx for the review love the honesty, why did you use the swingweight on the 10k at D6 while on your ds adapt video the 10k was D2. The swing weight was the critical difference in this video and I'm sure had they been the same it would have been a much bigger difference in favor of thr 10k. thanks
Great review Ross. Would live to see the 10k max review with a lighter head weight.
I stopped Rick Shields biased crap months ago. You are the new unbiased go to. Thanks.
Great comparison, all explained in a manner than even I can understand.
Pretty sure golf equipment has hit its limits. New grips might be a better investment.
Thanks for the review. Do you think the G440's shot-shaping capabilities would benefit players using the g430 who tends to leave the face slightly open?
You nutted it. Me too
How does the 440 compare against the 425? Any ideas?
Thanks for showing us the facts no markerting BS – every golfer knows that these modern clubs are now maxed out and it is all about the cosmetics
Genuine question… I'm 6'9 … would you suggest 2inches longer across the board is a good starting point for new clubs ?
As always, such great contact mate. It's all in the details for me which you do a great job with. Also, really enjoy the banter between you and Tom.
This has to be one of the best driver comparisons I've watched. As a G430 10K owner myself , aged 56 I can't get 100mph club head speed any more. My fitting last year showed an average of 97mph , average carry of 234 and total 256. Far too often we are subjected to pro level swingers at 110mph getting it out there to 300yds, this really doesn't benefit us 10+ handicappers when it comes to assessing clubs. Watching Tom making sure he used most of the club face was really helpful, his figures a far better indication of what the club can do as rarely we find the centre of the face too often in a round. I had no plans beforehand to upgrade as the G430 for me is the best driver I have ever used, my primary consideration now is forgiveness and keeping it on the fairway. I see no difference between any of the brands distance wise these days and to be fair if you go back 20 years there's less than 10 yds between all the Taylormade range. Clearly PING along with everyone has got to seen to develop but great to see a totally unbiased opinion clearly backed up by average Joe stats that there's no value. Consider me a new subscriber , excellent review !
What happens if you remove the rear center weight all together and just make the club head lighter. Does the lighter club head increase the swing speed?
Speaks the truth. Keep it up!
So if you had neither of these and you were going to purchase, which one would you pull the trigger on? Thx!
Best Fitter around !! I would encourage anyone wanting to purchase new clubs to get fitted with Ross !! the most in depth and detailed experience I have had
