2nd Swing Golf

Master fitters, Trackman-heavy testing

Mixed

I just don't like that distance at all.

The retro-spec, higher-lofted G440 clearly spun the most of the three, a real asset for players needing stopping power, but the tester lost about 20 yards, found it less forgiving-feeling, and never got comfortable.

+ the facts · 3 pros · 3 cons
  • +Noticeably more spin than the other HL irons, great for players who need help holding greens
  • +Strong height and 48-49 degree landing angles on solid strikes
  • +Rounded, smooth top-line look
  • Tester lost roughly 20 yards versus the Srixon
  • Felt more punishing on off-center hits to the tester
  • Look and feel never inspired confidence in this test

For: Players who lack spin and need it to keep the ball in the air and stop it on greens
