Launched for the 2025 golf season and beyond, the new G440 irons from PING have been engineered to offer golfers game-improvement performance in the style of a players model.

Increased ball speed comes from a shallower, thinner face and the low/back CG location, which allows for higher-launching, longer-carrying shots with stopping power.

Another factor is the next generation of the PurFlex cavity badge. This 4-piece molded badge is more flexible than previous designs, expanding and contracting to support the thinner face while contributing to more ball speed and enhancing feel and sound.

The shape and head size present an eye-catching design, complemented by chrome finishes on the back and inside the PurFlex cavity badge. Among the refinements to the overall shape is a lower face height, which creates a more compact, clean look and helps lower the CG, aligning it closer to the force line to increase ball speed and ensure solid impact, especially low on the face.
