Ping G400 driver

So I found the mythical gain increase. I never believed it until tonite I did a flightscope session tonite comparing my trusty G30 10 degree SF TEC stiff vs...

shokosugi Well if I could only swing 70mph, I'd hope I could hit it straight too!😜

sdandrea1 This club is so confidence-inspiring, I feel like I can swing outa my shoes. It just goes STRAIGHT!

This is why I'm in no rush to get my new G425 SFT. I doubt it'll be any better that the G400 SFT.

Typhoon

Sneakylong Yeah, I can't wait to get on my Trackman hopefully next week if the weather is better and hit the G425max vs. my G400Max. Won't be the same shaft but from what I hear, no difference and I imagine that would carry over into the other versions.

To me there was quite a difference. Of course, YMMV...

Here's what I'm hoping for. Maybe just a tad more accurate. You can tell what it is by the shaft.

CallMeAl I’d like to say there will be because I'm selling Ping but in reality ....

Good for you though Al. Could be the shaft, I have one and it’s awesome... deadly accurate and plenty long. I do have an HOF that’s beating it but I’d the shit hits the fan.. it’s back to my IZ6

G425 will likely be my next driver. I wanted g410 last year but never hit around to it with covid.

The way this thing plays, sounds and feels, I have a feeling my next driver will start with G4XX....... and I'm still playing it with a junk made-for Cobra shaft.

Until tomorrow. 😉

Guess we will have to be patient for the comparison review.

It just says "Baffler" on it. No brand.

Thing is, is the 425 Max that much better then the 400 Max for the average hacker like me? For typhoon maybe yes but what about us mere mortals?

CallMeAl

I wouldn't have sold my G400 to Steve if my New G425 was "That Much Better "!

Again, YMMV....

garyt1957

candukid I doubt it. But it does have the extra adjustability if you're into that Y

DC300

I just wanna try the max with a shaft fit for me in either 400 or 425.. except I’d probably have to buy it, and I play like 4 rounds a year, so I’m not sure I really want to hit it.

I have the 400Max though. Not the SFT. Will have to wait for typhoon review of the Max's

sdandrea1 18 more holes with this club. It's freaking magic. You must try one.

Maybe when you sell yours.

I demo'd a G425 SFT in Florida for 2 rounds. I wouldn't say it's any better than the G400 SFT - VERY similar head, sound feel. Shaft options will probably make the most difference.

I think this is the case with most golf clubs these days. Not necessarily better, but different. The G400 head is smaller at 445cc though. There seems to be not much more to squeeze out. It's tiny improvements. More evolution that revolution.

Is anyone going to notice a 2% to 3% gain in MOI etc.? Rick Shiels did a test with a Ping driver from several years ago compared a newer model. He gained 3 yards. 😕
