Ping G440 HL Irons - Graphite
The Ping G440 High Launch Irons (HL) are specifically engineered for golfers with slower swing speeds who find it challenging to generate sufficient clubhead speed and ball velocity with traditional irons. These irons feature a lighter design, incorporating ultra-light shafts and grips that reduce the overall weight of the club. This allows for faster swings, ultimately increasing ball speed. As a result, golfers can achieve higher ball launches with longer carry across the entire set.
Thanks to their advanced construction, the Ping G440 HL Irons are ideal for golfers seeking to maximise distance and overall performance. The combination of lightweight materials and precision engineering allows players to easily boost their swing speed. This makes it easier to hit more consistent, higher shots, offering enhanced carry and control. The G440 HL Irons are a perfect choice for players looking to optimise their game and improve their consistency on the course.
The Ping G440 HL Irons feature a shallower face design, making them 9% thinner compared to their predecessors. This adjustment results in greater ball speed across the entire face while providing a more player-preferred look at address. The increased ball speed enhances distance and improves control, even on off-center strikes.
Incorporating a low center of gravity (CG) system, the G440 HL Irons enhance forgiveness by repositioning approximately 4g per iron lower and further back in the head. This ensures higher launch angles and more ball speed while maintaining consistent performance, even in less-than-ideal conditions. The higher moment of inertia (MOI) adds to the irons' overall forgiving nature.
The PurFlex Cavity Badge in the Ping G440 HL Irons is designed as a 4-piece molded component, offering greater flexibility than previous versions. This flexibility allows the badge to work in tandem with the thinner face, increasing ball speed while improving overall feel. This innovative design results in a more satisfying sound at impact, optimizing the overall performance of the irons.
The Ping G440 HL Irons boast premium cosmetics, featuring a sleek chrome finish on the back of the head and inside the PurFlex cavity badge. This high-quality aesthetic enhances the visual appeal of the irons while adding to the sense of sophistication and high performance.
The Ping G440 HL Irons combine a shallower face height, shorter blade length, and a thin top line to provide the look of a traditional players iron. However, they deliver the forgiveness and consistency of a game-improvement club, offering the best of both worlds: the classic look of a players iron with the playability of a more forgiving design.
The Ping G440 HL Irons feature a length increase of 1/8" in the 4, 5, and 6 irons. This adjustment allows golfers to generate more ball speed and achieve higher launch angles, leading to more consistent distance gaps between long irons. This improved set gapping ensures golfers have the right tool for every distance on the course.
The Ping G440 HL Irons set reduces the number of wedges from five to four (PW, UW, 52 degrees, 56 degrees). With modified lofts, these wedges offer better gapping and simplify wedge selection. The 56 degrees wedge is inspired by the legendary EYE2 sand wedge, with its unique bounce profile, sole design, and hosel shape that help golfers handle bunkers and tricky lies more effectively.
