Ping Unveils G450 Mini Driver and FASTFLEX Tech for 2027

Ping's new G450 driver family has been officially listed by the USGA, indicating an upcoming release for the 2027 golf season. This new line includes three familiar driver models: LST (Low Spin Tech), MAX (maximum forgiveness), and SFT (Straight Flight Technology), designed for draw bias.

Excitingly, the G450 lineup also features a new MINIMAX mini driver, a model many golfers have eagerly awaited since prototypes emerged. This addition, branded with Ping's signature style, aims to balance the brand's serious reputation with a more playful, performance-driven offering.

A significant technological advancement across the G450 family is FASTFLEX, Ping's proprietary face technology. This system is engineered to allow the driver face to flex more upon impact, thereby boosting ball speed across various swing speeds and potentially improving performance on off-center hits.

Details from the conforming list suggest the LST model might offer a 7.5º loft option, while the MINIMAX will be available in 13º loft. These clubs are anticipated to shake up the driver market by prioritizing speed and consistent performance.
