PING tip adapter quiz

sdandrea1

I'm embarrassed that I don't know this and that I didn't label/store them apart. Which of these two styles of tip adapters fits the G400 series (MAX, SFT, etc)? Right or left?

The bottom sections of both seem identical to me, but the top/ferrule-ring section is a different length.

P.S. the head is in the mail to me and I'm ready to epoxy the adapter on now so I can plug and play when the head arrives.

Looks like this one. I left the screw in the Head--it didn't seem to come out

Stick them into the head and see which one fits.

Duh, scroll up and read the post Rick. 🤣

I don't recall seeing that when I posted. Steve might have edited the thread after I posted. 😜

The one on the left (with fewer settings) would be the one for the G400.

Roger that 👍

I think the screws are different too

The ones on the right are supposed to be 2 peice (need a ferrule). They may take the soft or hard plastic ferrule.

Also, the last on the right looks like the smaller tip. Thus it's for the older models.

Just noticed that. I've grouped them by screw-tip size. Thanks!

I tricked you Rick! That's why I winked. I figured someone would state the obvious, so I went to back and added the caveats. 👍

The 400 series (and G30, and G) has a .6 graduation.... newer that 400 has what I would refer to as more common graduations (.5, 1, 1.5) IIRC

Could be some aftermarket ones in the pic along with oem. Both will fit but the top near the ferrule where you add a collar will be different. I’ve had both and they all work

Thanks John👍

Ok, I know what I have because I only had one OEM and the rest are aftermarket.
The Paderson is aftermarket and the other is oem. Slight difference in collar height and the color of the paint… both work.

DO NOT put the wrong adapter in the head!!

They may look like they fit, but you'll find out the hard way why they do not.
Landon knows that I know this.😉

Here's some different ones, for future reference.

This is the G/G400.......

Steve,

Sorry but the one on the shaft is faded. However, based on Rex's pictures, it is the same as the one listed for Ping G30/G-series/G400 Driver above.

Hope that helps.

sdandrea1

Well, now I think I glued the correct one on. 😵‍💫

sdandrea1 There is not only a diff in the tips, but also the diameter of the top, that seats into the head. Don't know that until you seat one with the torque wrench.....and the hosel cracks ever so slightly.🤬

PING engineers= rat bastages!!

sdandrea1 did you at least used the white Elmer's glue???

Just because they bolt up doesn't mean it's the right one. 410 to current compatible. G30/G/G400 compatible. Compatible does not mean they will look exactly the same. G/G30 did not have the rubber ferrule, but the g400 did.
