When it comes to high-performance drivers, the PING G440 LST and the Titleist GT2 are two of the top contenders in 2025. Both were included in the 2025 Best Golf Driver testing but only one delivered across every category. We put these two drivers head-to-head using our comparison tool to see which model comes out on top for different swing speeds and playing styles.
Distance
When it comes to distance, the GT2 holds a noticeable edge. Its 9.8 score was among the highest in this year’s test, making it one of the longest drivers of 2025.
The G440 LST wasn’t far behind with a 9.4 and, for some players, that difference may not be a dealbreaker, especially if consistency and forgiveness matter more than raw yardage. Launch and spin likely explain the gap: the GT2’s launch window and spin profile produced a longer peak carry for most testers.
Forgiveness
This is where PING pulls ahead.
The G440 LST posted one of the highest forgiveness scores among all low-spin drivers. Lower ball-speed deltas, tighter shot patterns and more consistent performance across the face gave it a decisive win in this category.
The GT2, while stable enough, showed a little more variation across mishits. If you’re not finding the center of the face every time, it’s something to keep in mind.
Accuracy
This one’s close. The GT2 had a slight edge in accuracy based on average offline values. However, the G440 LST posted a better combination of accuracy and forgiveness across swing speeds, especially in the mid and low ranges.
The bottom line: You’re not giving up accuracy with either driver. If your misses tend to get wild, the PING may help you rein them in a bit better.
Swing speed performance
Another factor to consider is how these drivers perform at different swing speeds. The GT2 stood out for faster swingers while the G440 LST was a surprising frontrunner for lower swing speeds.
| Swing Speed | Driver | Overall | Distance | Accuracy | Forgiveness |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| High | PING G440 LST | 8.93 | 8.70 | 7.83 | 9.10 |
| Titleist GT2 | 9.35 | 9.11 | 8.95 | 8.45 | |
| Mid | PING G440 LST | 9.60 | 9.20 | 8.90 | 9.40 |
| Titleist GT2 | 9.60 | 9.90 | 8.60 | 8.60 | |
| Low | PING G440 LST | 9.70 | 9.50 | 9.00 | 9.20 |
| Titleist GT2 | 8.90 | 9.00 | 8.30 | 7.60 |
Value
- PING G440 LST MSRP: $599.99
- Titleist GT2 MSRP: $649.99
PING is slightly less expensive but the price difference isn’t enough to make this decision based on price alone. When testing this level of driver, go for a fitting and compare them and be prepared to spend the $50 extra if the Titleist makes sense for your game.
Final verdict
If you’re buying based strictly on distance and speed, the Titleist GT2 is the clear winner—especially for faster swingers. If you need more all-around consistency and forgiveness, especially at mid to low speeds, the PING G440 LST quietly makes a strong case as the more versatile option.
