Evidence ledger
Where the information on this page came from, when it was read, and how firmly it is established.
- Evidence: Verified
Ping publishes the G440 LST lofts, hosel loft and lie adjustability, back weight with draw, fade and neutral positions, standard length, head size and stock shaft, and says it offers less spin and suits faster swings.
Values were matched against the downloaded text of the page when we checked. Ping’s spec table lists loft adjustability of ±1.5° and refers to “the five adjustable loft positions indicated on the hosel”.
