Replaces
G440 MAX, LST and SFT. Ping has not made a mini driver for retail before.

Expected price
About $650 for full-size drivers (not announced)
Not included
No G450 K yet. Ping releases its K model off-cycle, possibly late 2027.

What it means

The G450 MAX is the all-purpose forgiving model, the LST is the low-spin version for faster swingers, and the SFT is draw-biased for golfers who slice. The MiniMax is based on a tour-only prototype mini driver.

The current G440 drivers are being discounted to about $449 while the G450 arrives.
