between adjacent lofts
Highly varied
9-wood
5W to 7W structure: 2° separates the 5-wood and 7-wood.
Spacing variation: The average loft step is 2.2°. The largest step is 3° and the smallest is 2°, making the largest gap 1.5× the smallest.
Coverage: The family spans 9° from the 3-wood to the 9-wood.
How the G440 MAX lofts affect the shot
Loft is one of the biggest inputs into launch, trajectory, rollout and stopping power. The table below translates each G440 MAX loft into its likely loft-only shot tendency.
Low–mid launch • Moderate–high roll
High launch • High stopping
Low–mid → High launch tendency
Distance → control as loft increases
| Club | Loft | Launch Tendency | Flight Window | Roll Tendency | Stopping Tendency | Loft-Driven Role |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3W | 15° | Low–mid | Strong / penetrating | Moderate–high | Low–moderate | Distance-first fairway slot |
| 4W | 17° | Mid | Balanced | Moderate | Moderate | Versatile distance / approach slot |
| 5W | 19° | Mid–high | Higher / softer | Low–moderate | Moderate–high | Approach / long-par-3 friendly slot |
| 7W | 21° | Mid–high | Higher / softer | Low–moderate | Moderate–high | Approach / long-par-3 friendly slot |
| 9W | 24° | High | High / soft | Lower | High | High-launch approach slot |
What the loft gaps mean for shot separation
- 3-wood → 4-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
- 4-wood → 5-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
- 5-wood → 7-wood: 2° — Tight loft step — these heads may sit fairly close in flight window.
- 7-wood → 9-wood: 3° — Moderate loft step — a conventional separation on paper.
Fairway-wood note: Lower-loft woods are biased toward speed, flatter flight and more rollout; higher-loft woods trade some distance for easier launch, steeper descent and more stopping power. A high-loft fairway can therefore behave very differently from a hybrid with the same number on the sole.
G440 MAX distance-to-control map
| Part of lineup | Reference club | Loft | What the loft favors |
|---|---|---|---|
| Distance end | 3-wood | 15° | Low–mid launch, moderate–high roll, stronger distance bias |
| Middle | 5-wood | 19° | Mid–high launch, more balanced carry/control role |
| Control end | 9-wood | 24° | High launch, high stopping tendency, stronger control bias |
Spec note: Loft can vary with model year, region, special configuration or custom fitting. Verify an exact club against PING documentation or measurement when a single degree matters.
