What each maker claims
Attributed statements. Each maker is describing its own product, not the other one.
Ping G440 K
Forgiveness. Ping positions the G440 K as its most forgiving driver, citing a record MOI for a Ping driver.
TaylorMade Qi4D Max
Adjustability. TaylorMade lists a 4° loft sleeve and two movable weights on the Qi4D Max.
How they differ
These two drivers are close on paper. Both come in the same lofts with a 460cc head. The table shows the two places they part: how each club adjusts, and its standard length.
Ping calls the G440 K its most forgiving model. TaylorMade makes its own forgiveness claims for the Qi4D Max. Each maker is ranking its driver within its own range, not against the other.
Which one goes further or straighter for you comes down to your swing, the loft and the shaft. A fitting with both clubs will settle it.
