Who is the HL version for?

Golfers with slower swing speeds who need help getting the ball airborne. The head is the same MAX design; the lighter shafts are what raise launch and add carry.

How does it differ from the standard G440 MAX fairway?

Same head, lofts and adjustability, but the HL comes with lighter-weight shafts. That suits slower swings; faster players usually fit better into the standard-weight MAX.

What lofts does it come in?

Five lofts across the G440 family, including a new 4-wood. The extra 4-wood helps fill the gap between a 3-wood and a hybrid.

Is the hosel adjustable?

Yes. The adjustable hosel lets a fitter change loft and face angle to tune trajectory and shot shape.

Will the taller face help off the tee?

Ping made the MAX face 4% taller than its predecessor while keeping the center of gravity low. That gives more confidence on the tee without sacrificing launch from the turf.

Does the lighter shaft cost distance?

It adds launch and carry for slower swings, but high flight can reduce roll-out. Faster swingers may lose total distance compared with a lower-launching, heavier setup.
