| Draw bias | Built inPing: “offers slice correction utilizing an adjustable back weight that promotes a draw.” Both of the weight’s positions are draw settings (Ping: “Draw (13-yard draw bias), and Draw+ (20-yard)”), so the weight changes how much draw, not whether. | Evidence: Verified |

- Evidence: Verified
Ping publishes the G440 SFT lofts, hosel loft and lie adjustability, standard length, head size and stock shaft, and says its 23-gram adjustable back weight has Draw and Draw+ positions that promote a draw for slice correction.
Values were matched against the downloaded text of the page when we checked. Ping lists the 8-position hosel and back weight in the page’s technology section; its spec table lists loft adjustability of ±1.5° and refers to “the five adjustable loft positions indicated on the hosel”.
