Ping G440 K Driver

Equally if not more forgiving than the G430 Max 10K

Now with flight bias adjustability

The blue colorway doesn’t quite do it for me

Off-center strikes sound and feel noticeably ‘clangy’

Reviewed: 16 Jan 2026

Outstanding ball speed and distance

Exceptional stability and forgiveness

Aesthetic is very similar to a previous generation

The Chevron alignment aid on the crown feels unnecessary

Titleist TSi2 Driver

Easy to flight

Provides consistently good distance with plenty of forgiveness

No shot shape adjustability

Simple, understated look might not be for everyone

Ping G425 Max Driver

Feels more stable than G410 and produces a straighter flight and tighter dispersion, without sacrificing distance.

This will be player dependent, but we couldn't eke out any more yards with G425 Max over G410 Plus.

Reviewed: 30 Sept 2026

Takomo Ignis D2 Driver

Exceptional ‘bang-for-your-buck’ at £300 compared to premium alternatives.

High MOI stability and forgiveness with flexible swing-weight tuning via the included 8g extra weight.

Produces higher spin and lower ball speeds, sacrificing distance for high-speed swingers.

The new adjustable loft sleeve is bordering on the ridiculous
